TTP was one of thy most transformational learning experiences in my life with Jesus Christ. Early on, I desperately needed a Bible teacher that understood the totality of the Word of God. That training grabbed my attention right from the beginning, and held it all the way through. I missed one week, and the leader lent me the disc to catch up. I must have watched it a dozen times in the week before the following lesson. I fell in love with it and I realized that I MUST own it for myself. I had later gone through the training for the leadership portion, and have hosted this course at least 5 times since. I haven't stopped loving this content, nor have I stopped following Dr Del Tackett and his ministry. From the multi-disc set of TTP to the variable 'TrueU' series, to the "Is Genesis History" documentary, and the follow up "Beyond Is Genesis History", I continue to honor Jesus and his transformative work on thy cross and the beautiful discipling under the tutelage of Dr Del Tackett with continued study. Thanks sooo much for putting this onto this platform, as flawed as it might be, we get to experience this explanation from the man himself and share it with loved ones instantly thanks to you, and TH-cam. May God bless you...
There were plenty of other people before tooth fairy Jesus supposedly was around. Even your supposed god people hated before him also cause there are older religions.
@@shanehughes8528 "Even your supposed god people hated before him also cause there are older religions." try writing a coherent thought. then try reading.
@@HS-zk5nn There were other gods hated before your god... cause there are older religions so people saying "the Bible said people would hate god" and you people act like this is actually prophecy. That is a self fullfiling prophecy like most of those prophecys are or they just didn't come true.
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15:18-19 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12
Dr. Tackett ...Many thanks to you and all that have created the "Is Genesis History?" series. If possible, I would like to participate in updating this series as new findings are made. You did a fabulous job moderating its many segments. I truly appreciate you and all who participated in this landmark series.
“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find no such case.” ― Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species Based on his own words and limited understanding of the complexity of the cell, what do you think Darwin would conclude today?
Darwin? ... he would be thrilled to see his theory confirmed by every scientiic discipline. Though he might be disappointed by the incredulity of some people. No progress there.
@@wimahlersDarwin actually doubted his own theory and pointed out it’s numerous flaws and admitted he just wanted to find a way to remove God from the world because he suffered terrible grief but atheists took a hold of his unprovable and flawed THEORY and declared it as true. Louis Pasteur proved that life can not come from non-life shattering the THEORY of evolution and relegating it to its correct fairytale status. Science, actual science, disproves evolution at every step but this is inconvenient for atheists because the only other option is an intelligent creator. God. People are so desperate to get away from God that they cling to disproved scientific theories whilst ignoring actual scientific facts and declaring those who oppose them as the ones who ignore science. People will do anything to avoid looking inwardly at themselves.
i read peoples comments and scripture comes to mind 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them
So you use the Bible vs people who don't think the Bible is real. Thats no way to convince someone. Here let me use a quote from the Spiderman comic to prove he is real. Oh he won't appear when you need help or anything. However I have a comic and a picture (more then what you religious type have) and a quote so now you MUST believe in Spiderman.
@@LookOutForNumberOne You just defined your own position, Genius. The FULFILLED Prophecies in God's Word (The Bible) alone prove beyond any doubt that: 1. Jesus is REAL. 2. The Bible was written by an "Intelligence" from outside our time domain. These verses were written between 739 and 861 B.C. BEFORE Christ was even born, giving ABSOLUTE PROOF to it's legitimacy: Isaiah 52: 13-15 & 53: 1-12 'Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men; So shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall consider.' 'Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.'
Well said, Dr. Del. Evolution is inconsistent and does violence to the very nature of God. My 3rd grade teacher and college Lit professor would appreciate your holding to the historical narrative nature of the book of Genesis. Thanks, brother, for your labor of love.
The work you do is so important. Yes couldn’t agree more with what you said. Literarily speaking Genesis expects us to take it 100% seriously as historical narrative. There’s simply no other intellectually honest way to put it. To deny that is an attempt to show horn your disbelieve into a text that insists you take it for its word. Thank you once again for the good work you do
I very much enjoy & believe your work. Being retired now I've had many yrs. to study The Scriptures & the science behind Recent Creation, The Flood of Noah's Day, & History of Israel & their relationship w/The God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob. I have been a believer since 1980 (Jan 6th of that yr. God had mercy on me) & HE began to reveal things concerning HIMSELF. What HE has taught me are like treasures I store in my heart to meditate on. Learning HIS Ways throughout eternity future will be fun. GOD is an artist beyond imagination creating "from nothing" ALL of what we see today on the earth & in the heavens.
@@shanehughes8528 ok, so you're not conned. Do tell how creation really happened. Give me the laughs, you joke. 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.
@@2fast2block we are the ones who arbitrarily call them laws. Just cause we call them thoerys and laws don't mean that someone had to make them. You are the one resorting from science fiction... please what did God create the universe from? Also you have to proof something before its accepted in the science community. Its not approved before you can proof it. You have how science and religon work back words. You guys say something and say its proven before you can prove it.
Words can't express how much your seminars have touched my life. Some of my favorite memories with my grandparents has been doing the truth project Bible studies. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for what you've added into the lives of people around you and abroad.

8:53, “Anyone who disagrees with us is blind.” Is that a correct characterization of what you’re saying? And then you say, “We see because God has opened OUR eyes.” Is that a correct characterization of what I’m hearing here?
It's like the Galileo affair again. So many religious fundamentalists so angry about science. But ask them to find a flaw in the idea and they have nothing. Even after all this time.

@@shanehughes8528 you think of others or just yourself? You ever marry and truly love your spouse? You ever do time in the military or paramilitary, such as law enforcement or fire & rescue? First, the point of the argument, not your response: if God is God, He can make the Universe by speaking a single word, or thinking it, if those are his rules. He can take seven billion, seven thousand or seven days for Creation. Even seven seconds. He chose seven days. Six days in what we can see, hear, experience and know. Free will: God gives us free will yo chose between sin, disobedience to Him, or obedience to Him. We are not automatons. We are cattle or on a field, mindlessly moving about. We choose to be be obedient, showing our love, as a spouse (in this case, a wife to her husband/it's not a sexual thing), still free to do as we please but knowing what we do effects the other in a good or bad way. I, "unfortunately", fell deeply in love with my best friend, my wife of 43 years. I took years in finding her, that perfect match to me. I know what true love, commitment and loss of that friendship and love is. I would not willingly hurt or damage my wife except for my free will, my sin nature. Unless you have a relationship with God himself, you'll not understand.
@@davidbenner2289 I think of others. Thats why I don't like seeing people in a religon thats teaching you that you nust hate your self and the only way to be a good person is to worship said God. I have 2 kids. I know what absolute true love is. I don't quite understand what you say when you said "six days in what we can see, hear, experience." If you mean you think it took seven days for the universe to become the state it is now. You are wrong.
@@davidbenner2289 Free will. I have to ask do you believe that God knows every man's heart? If so. Then that is God's fault why I lost faith. Cause God knows what it would take for me to believe again in him. I believed till I was 10. It was because of him not showing enough evidence for his existence that he knows would be enough for me to believe. Yet he try to show a shred of anything of his existence to me when I had faith for 10 years and never really asked for anything. Your rant about loving your wife. Thats amazing!! Congratulations. There is a difference there between love for something that you can actually hug, talk too, or even look at in the eyes. Its his rules that he wants us to be reminded about how "terrible of beings" we are when we are not. What kid do you ever hear say "I want to be magneto. (A bad guy in a comic/cartoon show) Nope. Its wolverine, Cyclops, Storm. Its cause people are naturally innocent. Unless its the environment, raising, and money situation that causes people to do bad things. Cause when you are put in a bad situation cause you have to pay rent or not be able to unfortunately people will do the bad thing. However you see most people out in the world trying to be honest people.
@@davidbenner2289 Now does everything go according to God's plan? Can nothing divert God's plan? Cause if so then me not believing was apart of his plan. God has this complex plan that nothing can change it. Cause he made it right? Well then the devil (Christian bible) or the dead sea scrolls talk about 200 angels that fell from heaven and one taught man how to make weapons so they could fight against the angels and he was the angel that was God's right hand man how ever he did the greatest sin so he was cast to the core of the earth. Now what story was apart of God's plan? Cause either one seems diabolical. I go to hell not cause of my works but cause of Faith. No matter how much good works I do I can never get into heaven cause I simply don't believe. So now I do nothing but burn for eternity cause I simply don't believe in cause this was apart of his plan. Now would your partner want to you be in eternity of torture for anything simple like forgetting to look in the bag of McDonald's and well they forget the French fries. Would they want you to burn in a vat fryer for eternity cause one do you didn't came back with fried cause you had faith in McDonald's that they put the fries in there all the time?
I've enjoyed your work. I hope my sons will be accepted to a Christian university in Texas. You are an inspiration, and I thank you for your wonderful message from God. 😊
I'm a creationist because, as an atheist, evolution believing student, I began to study "evolution" in college, intensely, as it was presented in different fields of study. The more I studied "evolution", without any outside pressure or axes to grind, it's premises unraveled before my logical eyes. Later I became a Christian, and once again pure logic brought me into believing in creationism, though others I knew, who were Christians, still believed in "evolution".
Lol you clearly have no understanding of evolution whatsoever. But no only that you then commit the black and white fallacy of thinking there are only 2 posible explanations and if one is not true then the must be by default !! NONCENCE
@@trumpbellend6717 Not to be rude, but I don't know what you read. I stopped believing in the theory of evolution while I was an atheist. I didn't write anything about what I thought may replace it, for i didn't know. I just knew that it was very logically flawed. When I became a Christian I later found out about and researched the view of creationists. It is actually a well thought out and logical belief. I'm sorry that you are believing lies.
@@kathleennorton6108 lol @ christianity logical with its talking snakes and donkeys, witches, magic, giants, zombies. Mud figurine can become a living breathing man and a rib become a woman 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅 Infact let's have a laugh that's my next question to you, just hold on a sec while I put a creatard dunce hat on 😂😂 Ok let's go How does a Rib become a woman? Do you have examples of any transitional fossils from said rib to woman.? If ribs can turn into women then why are there still ribs around ? Why do we not have examples of the RIB KIND turning into cat or dog kinds? How do you explain the second law of thermodynamics in regard to ribs, if we find less entropy In women ? Isn't it true that ribvolution is just a THEORY not a fact? If women are really ribs then why aren't they covered in barbecue sauce? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kathleennorton6108 you really dare to to claim as logical that a god thought that the best way for him to be able to forgive man, for breaking rules that god knew in advance that they would break when he made those rules. Was to send a version of himself down to earth then sacrifice himself to himself. Thus preventing his need to punish his creations for something their ancestors did before they knew the difference between right and wrong. 🤔 Please dont make me laugh.
@@trumpbellend6717 You will be punished, should you God forbid not repent, for your own sins, not your ancestors. God made HIS creation as He chose to for His own reasons. If you don't like it I would say leave, but you can't.
Yes yes yes, it is plain to us because HE opened our eyes to the truth. There is something extra the Lord gives that can not be measured or explained to another. The complexity of the creation could not have happened just like that, impossible! This is why I gave up trying to explain to those who will not even try to think deeply on the Word. Our mind, thought and emotion are all invisible even to the critics who cry ‘evidence’. What more can be said to them save for that they truly are blind to the real truth?
@@60andUP I do Understand how life began because it is given to us in the Word of God. God is the Creator, The Alpha and Omega, the One True Living God who existed from before the beginning of the foundation of the universe. God resists the proud, they are blinded by their very own pride and so how can they understand what they see let alone what they can not see? The proud one is wise and clever in his own eyes. The pride identifies him, without which, he or she has nothing. Pride and arrogance must be fed, a source must be found because they will not leave their host(you) alone. The proud think they know and have answers to everything like the biased critic, but they know not! Humbleness and lowliness are extremely hard to come by these days. The humble always know more and there is a reason why, think about this for a moment. The proud die in denial and agony without peace, but i wonder to what end?! If you claim or believe everything written in the bible is a hoax or a creation of all those that were instrumental being led by the Holy Spirit in recording It all these years combined, compared to the little knowledge you have accumulated in the short time you have lived, then it clearly shows your thought patterns and thread are skewed and inconsistent. Yes, pride leads us to forget how small we are, doesn't it? In term you could understand, what is magic? Do you watch horror movies, i do not...From where did the directors get the ideas to do these kind of pictures? Is exorcism a myth, is it also an act? Are ghosts non existent? Are haunted houses only found in movies? From where do these evil things come? It is either Jesus, the grey area or evil. Unfortunately, if it is not Jesus, all else is evil for it is of this world as man has made it by choice of evil from the free will given to him.
Moses KR I would have thought a definition of pride and arrogance might be exactly what you have written- without a shred of evidence for your beliefs. Well, good luck.
Yo Yo Why not apply the same yard stick of evidence to your arguments/ approach? Now then, Disprove the Word of God with evidence. That one fails to disprove another does not make their argument or conclusion ( for the refusal to reason or even lack of evidence thereof ) factual. It doesn’t make you right. At least reason with me.
The proper place for the study of religious beliefs is in a church or temple, or in a course of comparative religion, but not in a biology class. There is no place in our world for an ideology that seeks to close minds, force obedience, and return the world to a paradise that never was. Students should learn that the universe can be confronted and understood, that ideas and authority should be questioned, that an open mind is a good thing. Education does not exist to confirm people's superstitions, and children do not learn when they are fed only dogma. Tim M. Berra Evolution and the Myth of Creationism Stanford 1990
As a Christian, I struggle with treating Genesis as a historical record - It's a bit like a textbook on the 20th Century that leaves out WW2... Genesis writes about the Flood, but the Chicxulub impact that is clearly evidenced in our planet's strata is missing... The evidence for this impact is identified by geologists and it looks to be a catastrophe far greater than the Flood. We believe Chicxulub impact took out the dinosaurs, but no one wrote about it. Not even the Australian Aborigines record this in song or art. Geologists also are saying they have found chunks from the Theia impact deep down in our planet's core. Where do these events appear on the YEC timeline?
There is a lot of references throughout the Bible, that lends to the idea of "election and predestination ", and the Omniscience of God, when it comes to those who would believe, and those whom He knew would not. The variety of "comments" here that have been posted, tend to give evidence to the truth of that view.
No evidence, John? Listen again. He provided lots of evidence. BTW, you and Dr. Tackett both believe in a creator. You believe in the evolution fairy and he believes in the Creator of the universe. Lower case "c" vs. a capital "C."

It was also the sign for the Christians to flee to the mountains. When the Roman forces overtook the city of Jerusalem in AD 70 the Jews retreated to the temple and were on the wall defending themselves. The Roman forces were catapulting stones over the wall and onto the Jews that weighed a talent, thereabouts 100 lbs.

He offered lots of evidence. He also pointed to the complexity of computer codes and some of the mechanisms that enable airplanes to fly, and compares the complexity of these man-made inventions to the complexity that exists in the natural world, such as the complexity that we find in hummingbirds, mosquitos, as well as the complexity that exists within the human cell. He uses all of these examples of incredible complexity within nature, and argues that the incredible degree of complexity and order that we see in the Universe could not have simply been the product of blind, random chance. That is his evidence.

I believe in the Bible stating the earth and the universe is only about 6000 years old, which is enough time for fossils to develop. I don’t believe in the accuracy of radiocarbon dating because carbon decays relatively fast (C has a half life of 5730 years), and after that only half of the original amount remains. If say, after 10 half lives or 57,300 years, the amount of C remaining is only
From the creation of the world, they are without excuse. His power and eternal God head is clearly seen by the things which were made. History and His creation on the days were said before hand and He executed them suddenly and right on time. He spoke and they stood fast.

Atheists believe that before "the big bang" there was nothing. Christians believe that the Spirit Creator God was there. So atheists have this incredible faith in nothing suddenly popping into everything. Christians have faith in this Incredible Creator making everything out of nothing. How can this be a difficult choice? a) Nothing used nothing to make everything out of nothing. b) "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." There is no evidence of a) ever having happened again; none, zero, nicht, nada. The scriptures attesting to b) have been with us since as far back as we can remember. Ironically the a) camp have the audacity to claim proof for their position in "science". Really? Yes, they think we're that stupid to believe that magical events can have a scientific basis.
OOOOps, my bad Mart TL1000S (if that's your real name); Replace Evolutionists with Evolutionary scientists. Too many to name, I'm sad to say. Bless you Mart ♥
So refreshing to hear one who knows that empirical evidence for Creation is beyond doubt. No other explanation comes even close to providing an answer.
A global flood. Hmmm. Unfortunately we know exactly how much sea level would rise if every bit of ice on this planet melted. You see we can fly over antarctica and greenland and measure the ice depth from the airplane. There isnt enough water to raise sea levels to the point where mountain ranges are under water. The biggest contributor antarctica would raise the sea level by 250ft if it totally melted. There was no biblical flood, not enough water. Yes there are fossils in rocks right at the top of high mountains. Science knows how they got there, plate tectonics. Lateral forces from convection currents in the mantle can make continents collide, some rocks are thrust up as they do. India movig north collided with Asia and rocks with fossils in them were thrust up high. No flood is needed to explain them. There was a little flood in the black sea, not long ago really, memories of it may have been passed down trough oral history. Oral history gets written down when people learn to write. It gets put into books. Its hardly surprising. Believing in the literal truth of such books is just silly.
*"...he is a Creationist (sic) because he is a Creationist (sic)."* No, Clemente, Dr. Tackett is a creationist because facts, logic, and reason all persuasively point to a Creator.

Don't stop there, Simon. Tell us more about this chemistry of which you speak. Tell us about the origin of information in the first self-replicating organism. What genes did it require? Did it even have genes? How much DNA and RNA did it have - or did it even have nucleic acids? How did large information-rich molecules arise before natural selection? What environmental conditions made abiogenesis inevitable? Inquiring minds want to know.
*"...you wouldn't have to ask these questions."* I don't know how likeable you are, Simon, but you certainly are amusing. I ask those questions because I know that neither you nor anyone else knows the answers to them. Which explains why you jumped down not one, but FOUR rabbit holes.

I am a creationist because my pastor and parents tell me I am going to hell if I don't believe in creationist and I don't want to go to hell. The evidence and logic point to evolution but I can ignore those and lie to myself and others.
I didn't mean to mock. The point I was making that people are scared to accept the evidence of their own eyes. I am not an evolutionist I'm not even sure what that means. I currently accept that as being the best theory that explains the facts. I I am a creationist I guess as I am a theist but I do not pretend to know how and why that happened.
Everyone is upset that hes not giving any evidence. ...but this is just a video of his testimony. His own opinion. Not an evidence video. Which is fine. Because everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'll just keep searching for an evidence video. Haha
Not necessarily. People leave atheism for agnostic or mono-theistic viewpoints with regularity. Atheism is simply not a very strong proposition, philosophically or scientifically. It begins with arbitrarily assuming laws of logic with no proof that such laws exist and continues on to assert that laws of physics behave consistently enough that we can observe and make predictions using them. This is indeed necessary for scientific observation, but in the atheist's random-chance worldview, why would it be so?
I am a christian and found this to be a waste of my time. I do not want to hear about what you think or believe. I want reasoning...facts...evidence. There are many others who also need this as well.
Sadly, I have to agree with you, Blender. There are plenty of reasons from the world of biology to reject evolution, but he didn't tell us any of them.

It was also the sign for the Christians to flee to the mountains. When the Roman forces overtook the city of Jerusalem in AD 70 the Jews retreated to the temple and were on the wall defending themselves. The Roman forces were catapulting stones over the wall and onto the Jews that weighed a talent, thereabouts 100 lbs.

I listened to some of your TH-cam story, Ernie. I appreciate your message, but I think it's not directly relevant to this. The field of molecular biology in recent decades has produced plenty of evidence that simple organisms simply couldn't have developed into today's life by any mechanism anything like evolution.
Man is incapable of understanding all of creation and what it took to get it all started in the beginning. Man spends billions of dollars a year that is robbed from tax payers to "discover" what is undiscoverable. When you throw money at anything the debacle begins. The most comfort that man shall ever have on this earth it the realization that Jesus fulfilled everything that He promised by AD 70. All was fulfilled. This is the greatest proof that He is whom He claimed to be and that there is a God. When that realization occurs then man can quit looking for scientific reasoning for the creation. The Creator is the reason. My book points out that Jesus did what He claimed. He told His apostles that they would not have gone through all the cities of Israel before His advent. He stated that those that pierced Him would live to see His coming. He told Peter that John would live to see His coming. Many think that Jesus' apostles lived under the New Covenant. That is fallacy. Paul states in Hebrews about the Old Covenant that "it waxeth old and is getting ready to disappear." Hebrews was written a minimum of twenty years after Jesus ascension. There are many other verses that also attest to this. Revelation 14:13 states "Blessed are those that die henceforth." This verse precedes a description of His coming. All were cursed under the law, the Old Covenant. All experienced death, the sinner and the saint. Under that which is perfect, the New Covenant, the repentant soul shall rise upon death of the fleshly body. The resurrection was only for those under the OC. The marriage supper of the Lamb was the marrying in of the OC saints into the NC that allows eternal life, which is in His kingdom. Prior to His coming on clouds and the consummation of the OC, no human soul had ever gone to heaven. It is all covered in my book. The only sources for research and study was the scriptures and historical documented facts only, and not the opinions of any man. Those that were "left behind" at the consummation were the Christians. The late great planet earth shall go on forever.
More and more it seems that the better and more accurately we understand the complexity of life on the "celluar" level the more we must discard evolution, atheism, and scientism as credible theories to explain scientific physical reality. People like James Richard Wiley are shown to be buffoons in light of the science of DNA. They are ones who believe scientism's fairy tales of the world creating itself in precise complex order.
What I don't understand about people who sees the title of these then being negative about it the thing is they're just being trolls I wouldn't give him one minute of my time
Jason - they are infuriated about something they don't believe in. They can't handle the fact that there just may be a different explanation than their own.
Personal testimony might be convincing for those already convinced but for the rest of us this is simply rehashing tired old, long redundant, creationist tropes.... Literally preaching to the converted is a rather cynical attempt to line the pockets of people such as Ken Ham.
We are also tired of the ridiculous lies spread by people like Richard Dawkins too, who has tried to explain that "nothing" can actually mean "something."

Atheists believe that before "the big bang" there was nothing. Christians believe that the Spirit Creator God was there. So atheists have this incredible faith in nothing suddenly popping into everything. Christians have faith in this Incredible Creator making everything out of nothing. How can this be a difficult choice? a) Nothing used nothing to make everything out of nothing. b) "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." There is no evidence of a) ever having happened again; none, zero, nicht, nada. The scriptures attesting to b) have been with us since as far back as we can remember. Ironically the a) camp have the audacity to claim proof for their position in "science". Really? Yes, they think we're that stupid to believe that magical events can have a scientific basis.
Convolute it any way you like Mart; that is your privilege. But nobody's being fooled; you understand perfectly, but since you don't want to accept the Creator, nobody can force you. :-( Best wishes any way. ♥
Another view: The writer of Gen. 1 did not write a history of the universe, in a modern sense of history. The writer sanctified the Name, so what he writes about the origins is consistent with who God is. And: God called the light DAY, not the darkness. There is only one day of creation, and that is the light that overcomes the darkness, in all aspects and fases of creation.
The reason you have to take a young earth creationist stance as a Christian is because a non-literal reading of genesis does not adequately answer the question of the “original sin” doctrine. If you think I’m wrong, and you are an old earth creationist or theistic evolutionists...Explain to me who committed the first sin for mankind, and when that sin was committed (AKA when did humans separate from God).
A book of truth, starting in verse one with God creating. 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.
@@2fast2block the smart answer is if you don't know is "I don't know". Have a bood that claims to be from a god is not proof of that god. The amount you believe it is not knowledge that belief is true. Knowledge is demonstrable. It has to be demonstrated first. Show me one provable demonstrated example of the supernatural. A claim of supernatural is not proof. I assume you believe is a monotheistic god. (I noticed the capital letter G). Which book is your preference? I used a non capital letter as my reference is nonspecific. I'm not clever but not silly enough to believe in magic, yes miracles and magic are the same just who or what is doing the act is different. Read more about comparative religions and the history of the Bible using linguistics.
I hate flies, it does not matter I will see one or two go grab the fly spray come back, and they have disappeared, like they see the can and they are like RAID!!!!
Believing God is the way God justifies us by faith . Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. We have a righteousness not our own , a righteousness which comes through faith in Jesus Christ .
The glory of God, like cancer cells, one animal having to kill another in order to live. Babies born dead or deformed. People dying in great pain from awful diseases. All for the glory of God.
What's the difference between man and God? Man can take 2 kilograms of uranium and make energy equal to 100,000 tons of TNT. God can take the energy equal to 100,000 tons of TNT and make 2 kilograms of uranium.
You should quit your dreaming, at least for a while. Learn how to write a sentence, for instance. You wrote, "the mold penicillin come from." It's "came" from. Or "comes" from. Not "come" from. Maybe then I'll be motivated to comment on your "comment."

"God can speak and bring things into existence." That's one reason why it is impossible for God to lie. If God said people could sprout wings and fly, then people would be able to sprout wings and fly.
How do you people who put dislikes get past the first verse of the bible? It says how God did a supernatural creation. To me, creation is a big deal and it's wimpy to talk tough about things already created when creation itself needs to be explained. So I'm a creationist. Notice how the word "creation" is in that title. I believe creation was supernatural. No, I didn't automatically believe that God did it, but once I established it was supernatural by the overwhelming evidence, then I set out to find out what or who did the supernatural creation by having evidence to back that up. I did end up believing it was the God of the bible. It wasn't the 'god of the gaps' god, nor the 'we just don't know yet' god, nor the Big Bang, god, nor the 'nothing', god, nor the 'quantum physics', god, nor.... . Anyway, you get the picture. Those that want to bypass creation and mock creationists, please tell me with evidence how creation happened naturally.

Well most sane people dont believe the bible and genesis. And the guy in this video is pretty much a moron, who argues from ignorance and personal incredulity. You believe there is creation, you believe its supernatural, yet there is no evidence for that. So yes you kinda did automatically assume a god did it. You say there is overwhelming evidence, yet not a single theist is able to present it. You try to switch the burden of proof in that last sentence. You still have the burden of proof on your claims. - there is creation. - the cause is supernatural, i guess it depends on what you mean by supernatural aswell. - And that a god exist and did this. - that its the god of the bible.
Richard, I didn't receive a youtube notice of replies to my comment and just came across these now. Here was my request: Me, "Those that want to bypass creation and mock creationists, please tell me with evidence how creation happened naturally." Your answer that you find acceptable that gives NO evidence for a natural creation but you think you felt the need to share this for your belief: You, "There is a button to click on if you don't care for a video, that's how. And which bible is your personal one, I'd hate to be wrong." Thanks for proving the point why I'm a creationist because I don't want to present myself like you do.
themplar, "You believe there is creation, you believe its supernatural, yet there is no evidence for that." Got it. So to you it makes sense that nothing can create. Not just create, it can give the laws of physics and all that follows. Sorry to burst your bubble but we KNOW nothing will do nothing. Ignorance and denial on your part say volumes about your pathetic stance. Just going by the 1LT alone, how there's a conservation of energy, it can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. It cannot happen by natural means. There's only one choice left, it happened supernaturally. But to you who wants me to believe you actually are of a sound mind, you don't believe the 1LT is true. You have science that would give enough doubt for the 1LT. Please provide your evidence how you got around nothing doing nothing. Please provide your evidence how the 1LT should be doubted. Since you said, "there is no evidence for that.", that means what I provided you, you already knew them and overcame such facts by what? If you're not a fool, and you have the gall to say, "there is no evidence for that.", back it up with evidence, or, just keep making a fool of yourself.

russ martin well apparently god has revealed himself to millions of people across the world but for some reason there are still thousands of differing religions that contradict each other. And that’s why I’m an agnostic atheist. I think the existence of god could be a possibility, but I have the intellectual honesty to admit there’s no way I can know if one supernatural story is true over another supernatural story.
If one has to "comprehend" nature to be an atheist that's not evidently seen in te evidence of naturalism and evolution theory. If you can prove scientifically how mindless changes result in intelligent outcomes within nature such as the existence of DNA, complex biological systems, male and female reproduction in most lifeforms, the order of the universe, the evidence of order in the observable design in the human body ie the brain, the hands, the nervous system, the human eye, our ability to imagine, dream, create and design..I will listen to you but I think to be an atheists you do take all that for granted and try to fit God into your little box. You cannot comprehend God and that does not mean creationists cannot comprehend nature simply we KNOW the truth, nature was made BY God and it's order has limitations set by God from the beginning.
The inadequacy of evolutionary theory to explain the indescribable integrated functional complexity of biological life is glaring in this day and age. Darwin's theory was accepted in the 1800s and it's wholly and completely insufficient to explain the vast array of life in light of today's knowledge of the biological world. We are told by evolutionists the "just so" story that an unknown microorganism flew over geological time constantly increasing in complexity until it culminated in the most complex thing in the known universe - the human brain. Yet, we haven't seen one instance of higher complexity in all of recorded history. The evidence that is given to support the Darwinian story can easily be interpreted in the context of Intelligent Design/Creation Science. If evolution is true, there must be evidence for it in the real world -- instead of interpretations to fit the neo-Darwinism story. Evolutionary theory is a scientific theory but it is not based on any empirical evidence.
Wants us all to believe...because he is 'convinced' it's true....and therefore it's 'true.' That;s the basis of his argument. That he believes. Despite all of that. I wasn't convinced he really believed the hot air that was coming out of his mouth.....utter bs.
The story of Adam and Eve (which is what I'm assuming you asked about when you said the "Book of Genesis" in it of its literal self is not real. We have much scientific proof of the Earth's true age and evolution spanning back hundreds of years. That DOES NOT take away from the very much TRUE nature of the story. The story is meant to portray the nature of the human, which is to sin, and it is a story meant to give reason for honoring the sabbath day (hence how God rested on the seventh day). God worked through revelations and inspiration to ordinary people. That being said, there was no way that he could have even began to explain the entirety of Earth's history and creation to a feeble-minded human back in those times. Heck we don't even understand it fully to this day. The Bible was not meant to be a scientific book, that is why there are encyclopedias. The Bible is a guide to salvation and ultimately to heaven. I repeat, it tells us how to get to heaven, not how the heavens were made. I hope this helps. P.S. It's not that the Bible is "false" but there are many types of literature in it. You have to differentiate between the literal and the figurative to get the full picture that is God's message.
@@walkergarya ....I hardly listen to Ken Ham. 😎 The age of the earth was built on assumptions made mostly by Lyell built entirely on uniformitarian geology.
@@IIrandhandleII I'm testing their position. And I used to be a materlistic evolution based on the assumption of uniformitarian geology. I also know that contrary data to the Darwinian-Lyell narrative is ignored. It is really that narrative (all ideas, actually) that needs to be objectively assessed. Will you do that or will you "but you won't bother anyway".?
So the evidence that he offers is that the Tower of Babel is compatible with God's nature. Gen.11 KJV [1] And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. [2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. [3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. [4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. [5] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. [6] And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. [7] Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. [8] So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. [9] Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. So what is God's character here? He sees that men are able to cooperate with each other, and that when mankind does this there is nothing they can't accomplish. God reacts with a fit of jealous rage and creates national and tribal division (symbolized by language difference) so that we can no longer cooperate with each other. Notice the people don't act out of pride, the purpose of the tower is not idolatry; surely the tower poses no threat to God. God simply wants to stop human beings living up to their full potential (if that still sounds wrong to you, go back and read it again). It is also noteworthy that God had to go down to earth to find out about the tower, so just as when he is surprised by developments in Eden: the author thinks god is not omnipotent. Doe this hippy, or even the craziest Christian, think that English came into existence at this remote point in time? If it did, where was it until Beowulf? If it didn't, and Middle English came into existence as a pidgin between Old English and Old Norse as Tom SHippey and others think based on the evidence, in other words by a natural process, why should we think other languages did not do the same?
Nothing the speaker said confirms creationism or that there is a GOD other than that the speaker believes in it. The speaker is amazed at life and he explains it to himself that GOD is responsible. In fact the 1 billion years of life from a single cell to the incredible current complexity of life proves there is no GOD. I have no fear of a GOD nor do I take issue with your chosen faith. There develops a threat when those with a faith demand that I have the same faith not another faith, conduct my life based on their understanding of their faith and constrict my freedom to be myself in order to validate the faith they themselves insist on following. To paraphrase a common meme, "Don't tread on me", your faith ends on your front step, not at mine.
I'm sorry to say this but you need to be more informed. First, just because you believe that life can evolve from a single cell to our present configuration does nothing to eliminate the need for God. The challenge isn't just getting from a single cell to the present, which is a huge challenge that scientists have yet to explain, but in the origin of life to begin with. In the Ool question there are astronomically larger obstacles to overcome. So until there is a viable model for the Ool, then you have no cause to say that God is unneeded, even if you believe that biological evolution makes it so. Second, I know very few people who demand that you have the same faith as them. No Bible believing Christian would because the Bible says you have to make a personal choice to follow Jesus. As for restricting freedom, every belief system put into law does that. Its certainly, inconsistent, to act like its wrong for people of faith to be against something like abortion and ignore the secular godless community that is trying to force their opinions about sexual orientation on my children. The simple truth is that all laws are based off of some group of people's opinion about right and wrong. Otherwise, no one is telling you that you can't be yourself. Be whoever you want to be but that doesn't give you the right to force others to accept you for who you want to be. So don't be a hypocrite and hyperbolize what people of faith are doing to you.
@@blusheep2 Evolution is not a huge challenge. Believing that all life was created in 1 week, although not really as only ADam and Eve existed at first. But how did they and their off spring procreate, incest? If a God created in his own image why did a God have genitles? Why is there not a recorded history of these events other than a story told millenium after the fact? So many real questions and the Bible offers nothing but a demand that you beleive only one myth.

Scripture is self authenticating and the God of Scripture is consistent with the Genesis account. I very much agree but I tend to take the Old Earth view.
I am a Creationist Christian. It certainly is a lot easier to have faith in God rather than a big bang. Everything of nature knows we have a God. Only man rejects Him.
"It certainly is a lot easier to have faith in God rather than a big bang." *Very true because it takes no 'faith' to accept the BB since there's plenty of evidence and no evidence of any invisible magicians.*
Christof L: There is lots of evidence for the Big Bang. For example, the light from galaxies throughout the Universe is largely red-shifted, which means that the Universe is expanding. There's also Cosmic Background Radiation, which is leftover radiation from the Big Bang. I am very much a believer that God created the Universe, and I see the Big Bang in the Bible - "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."
Derek Atkins: The universe is expanding and that is observable but there is no way of knowing it was ever condensed in one point the size of a period on a page of writing that is speculation. There is another theory of the universe called the "breathing universe" where expansion and contraction takes place. Cosmic background radiation does not necessitate a big bang. You are right the Creator/Creators could have used the Big Bang as well as evolution once life was created but someone had to create the conditions for life as well as life before this could take place. Organization does not come from chaos. Macro-evolution doesn't ever take place and life never comes from non life.
love all the haters here. you know you're speaking truth when the haters come to hate! The sign of success is that these people take time out of their day to comment on what they believe is so silly. Good stuff!
actually loving haters IS the christian thing to do. What would Jesus do, he loves you SO much He laid down His life to cover your sin. You don't have to accept that he did, but it doesn't change the fact that he did!
EverythingNewUnderThe Son, if you were of another religion and heard of that blood sacrifice, you would probably think its a trick from Satan and ask yourself how people can possibly find comfort in letting someone suffer for them. Is Jesus not a scape goat? No offence.
EverythingNewUnderThe Son, BTW, it can also be said (by your logic) that loving those who believe scientific fact means that the scientific fact is true.
Hebrew mentality: You can eat your children. Deuteronomy 28:53-63, Leviticus 26:29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.....Kings 6:29 So we cooked my son and ate him.

They believe in talking snake, talking donkey, talking trees, unicorn, food falling from sky, incest, slavery, sensless killings, giants Genesis 6:4.... rain comes from open window of heaven.. god breath fire Job 41:21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth.....yes all of these are in the bible.
Thank you, Dr Tackett. I’m grateful this science is being done and discussed. However, I would like to point out that it might be a good idea to make a point of using the more accurate terms “creation scientist and creation science”. Using the term “creationist” seems to give the false impression that the science is sketchy, like an astrologist. I know that you know you are a bonafide, PhD scientist. I want to help the people watching this (and other videos on this topic) to take what your saying seriously. So many have the impression you guys are wackos. But your not, you are a real scientist. Keep up the good work! I wish I could help, but I’m undereducated, and have no skills except a logically thinking mind. I’m sure the trolls will have fun with my comments, but I don’t care what they think anyway. Anyone who spends so much time making snide remarks on other people’s posts has to have a miserable life. How I pray that the Lord open their minds to see the truth, and that they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their savior! Amen
With all the respect, the speech is a circular argumentation, thus no argumentation. You are talking about what your beliefs are, and from the title of video, one could expect to see some argumentation, not beliefs. One beliefs are for no help for another. You are saying Genesis is... consistent with God, but God is depicted by humans, who wrote Genesis also. Circular walking. If you have grown up reading the Scripture, that explains much. Should you have been born in India, you would have grown up reading Bhagavadgita, so this speech, with respect, doesn't help anybody to reason anything. Or maybe I did not cath the purpose of the speech. There are so many naive, childish things in the Bible (Genesis and those about Adam, Eve, apple etc) that look like written in a hurry to explain somehow the World. Humans do not like unexplained things and are a scary species when it comes to beliefs. So they invent, even these days, stories over stories about anything. The human brain and the construction being a believing being, no matter in what, didn't change in 2000 years - just stacked different stories accordingly to the times. If one believe one story it does not mean that that is the true... Sad, but homo sapiens it is what it is
New International Version And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the LIVESTOCK, the creatures that move along the ground, and the WILD ANIMALS, each according to its kind." And it was so. - Genesis 1:24 Livestock are farm animals while Wild Animals are Carnivorous animals. They have fangs and sharp claws for a reason. God gave all living creatures plants to eat to sustain life but not because all animals were vegetarians. WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT WILD EATING GRASS !!!!!
TTP was one of thy most transformational learning experiences in my life with Jesus Christ. Early on, I desperately needed a Bible teacher that understood the totality of the Word of God. That training grabbed my attention right from the beginning, and held it all the way through. I missed one week, and the leader lent me the disc to catch up. I must have watched it a dozen times in the week before the following lesson. I fell in love with it and I realized that I MUST own it for myself. I had later gone through the training for the leadership portion, and have hosted this course at least 5 times since. I haven't stopped loving this content, nor have I stopped following Dr Del Tackett and his ministry. From the multi-disc set of TTP to the variable 'TrueU' series, to the "Is Genesis History" documentary, and the follow up "Beyond Is Genesis History", I continue to honor Jesus and his transformative work on thy cross and the beautiful discipling under the tutelage of Dr Del Tackett with continued study. Thanks sooo much for putting this onto this platform, as flawed as it might be, we get to experience this explanation from the man himself and share it with loved ones instantly thanks to you, and TH-cam. May God bless you...
“If the world hates you, remember that it has hated me first”
- Our Lord Jesus Christ
There were plenty of other people before tooth fairy Jesus supposedly was around. Even your supposed god people hated before him also cause there are older religions.

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
John 15:18-19
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Dr. Tackett ...Many thanks to you and all that have created the "Is Genesis History?" series. If possible, I would like to participate in updating this series as new findings are made.

“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find no such case.”
― Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
Based on his own words and limited understanding of the complexity of the cell, what do you think Darwin would conclude today?
Darwin? ... he would be thrilled to see his theory confirmed by every scientiic discipline. Though he might be disappointed by the incredulity of some people. No progress there.
@@wimahlersDarwin actually doubted his own theory and pointed out it’s numerous flaws and admitted he just wanted to find a way to remove God from the world because he suffered terrible grief but atheists took a hold of his unprovable and flawed THEORY and declared it as true. Louis Pasteur proved that life can not come from non-life shattering the THEORY of evolution and relegating it to its correct fairytale status. Science, actual science, disproves evolution at every step but this is inconvenient for atheists because the only other option is an intelligent creator. God. People are so desperate to get away from God that they cling to disproved scientific theories whilst ignoring actual scientific facts and declaring those who oppose them as the ones who ignore science. People will do anything to avoid looking inwardly at themselves.
i read peoples comments and scripture comes to mind 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them
So you use the Bible vs people who don't think the Bible is real. Thats no way to convince someone. Here let me use a quote from the Spiderman comic to prove he is real. Oh he won't appear when you need help or anything. However I have a comic and a picture (more then what you religious type have) and a quote so now you MUST believe in Spiderman.
The problem with your quote is it's completely out of context. For one, this is not the Gospel.
Beautiful testimony Sir!
@@LookOutForNumberOne By our Creator, yes.
@@LookOutForNumberOne You just defined your own position, Genius.
The FULFILLED Prophecies in God's Word (The Bible) alone prove beyond any doubt that:
1. Jesus is REAL.
2. The Bible was written by an "Intelligence" from outside our time domain.
These verses were written between 739 and 861 B.C. BEFORE Christ was even born, giving ABSOLUTE PROOF to it's legitimacy:
Isaiah 52: 13-15 & 53: 1-12
'Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently; He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men; So shall He sprinkle many nations.
Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall consider.'
'Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.'
Well said, Dr. Del. Evolution is inconsistent and does violence to the very nature of God. My 3rd grade teacher and college Lit professor would appreciate your holding to the historical narrative nature of the book of Genesis. Thanks, brother, for your labor of love.
I appreciate you qualified phd’s using your knowledge and skills for God. This source and AiG have really strengthened my faith in the last year or 2.
The work you do is so important. Yes couldn’t agree more with what you said. Literarily speaking Genesis expects us to take it 100% seriously as historical narrative. There’s simply no other intellectually honest way to put it. To deny that is an attempt to show horn your disbelieve into a text that insists you take it for its word. Thank you once again for the good work you do
I very much enjoy & believe your work. Being retired now I've had many yrs. to study The Scriptures & the science behind Recent Creation, The Flood of Noah's Day, & History of Israel & their relationship w/The God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob. I have been a believer since 1980 (Jan 6th of that yr. God had mercy on me) & HE began to reveal things concerning HIMSELF. What HE has taught me are like treasures I store in my heart to meditate on. Learning HIS Ways throughout eternity future will be fun. GOD is an artist beyond imagination creating "from nothing" ALL of what we see today on the earth & in the heavens.
Amen.

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.

It's like the Galileo affair again. So many religious fundamentalists so angry about science. But ask them to find a flaw in the idea and they have nothing. Even after all this time.

@@shanehughes8528 you think of others or just yourself? You ever marry and truly love your spouse? You ever do time in the military or paramilitary, such as law enforcement or fire & rescue? First, the point of the argument, not your response: if God is God, He can make the Universe by speaking a single word, or thinking it, if those are his rules. He can take seven billion, seven thousand or seven days for Creation. Even seven seconds. He chose seven days. Six days in what we can see, hear, experience and know. Free will: God gives us free will yo chose between sin, disobedience to Him, or obedience to Him. We are not automatons. We are cattle or on a field, mindlessly moving about. We choose to be be obedient, showing our love, as a spouse (in this case, a wife to her husband/it's not a sexual thing), still free to do as we please but knowing what we do effects the other in a good or bad way. I, "unfortunately", fell deeply in love with my best friend, my wife of 43 years. I took years in finding her, that perfect match to me. I know what true love, commitment and loss of that friendship and love is. I would not willingly hurt or damage my wife except for my free will, my sin nature. Unless you have a relationship with God himself, you'll not understand.
@@davidbenner2289 I think of others. Thats why I don't like seeing people in a religon thats teaching you that you nust hate your self and the only way to be a good person is to worship said God. I have 2 kids. I know what absolute true love is. I don't quite understand what you say when you said "six days in what we can see, hear, experience." If you mean you think it took seven days for the universe to become the state it is now. You are wrong.
@@davidbenner2289 Free will. I have to ask do you believe that God knows every man's heart? If so. Then that is God's fault why I lost faith. Cause God knows what it would take for me to believe again in him. I believed till I was 10. It was because of him not showing enough evidence for his existence that he knows would be enough for me to believe. Yet he try to show a shred of anything of his existence to me when I had faith for 10 years and never really asked for anything. Your rant about loving your wife. Thats amazing!! Congratulations. There is a difference there between love for something that you can actually hug, talk too, or even look at in the eyes. Its his rules that he wants us to be reminded about how "terrible of beings" we are when we are not. What kid do you ever hear say "I want to be magneto. (A bad guy in a comic/cartoon show) Nope. Its wolverine, Cyclops, Storm. Its cause people are naturally innocent. Unless its the environment, raising, and money situation that causes people to do bad things. Cause when you are put in a bad situation cause you have to pay rent or not be able to unfortunately people will do the bad thing. However you see most people out in the world trying to be honest people.
@@davidbenner2289 Now does everything go according to God's plan? Can nothing divert God's plan? Cause if so then me not believing was apart of his plan. God has this complex plan that nothing can change it. Cause he made it right? Well then the devil (Christian bible) or the dead sea scrolls talk about 200 angels that fell from heaven and one taught man how to make weapons so they could fight against the angels and he was the angel that was God's right hand man how ever he did the greatest sin so he was cast to the core of the earth. Now what story was apart of God's plan? Cause either one seems diabolical. I go to hell not cause of my works but cause of Faith. No matter how much good works I do I can never get into heaven cause I simply don't believe. So now I do nothing but burn for eternity cause I simply don't believe in cause this was apart of his plan. Now would your partner want to you be in eternity of torture for anything simple like forgetting to look in the bag of McDonald's and well they forget the French fries. Would they want you to burn in a vat fryer for eternity cause one do you didn't came back with fried cause you had faith in McDonald's that they put the fries in there all the time?

I'm a creationist because, as an atheist, evolution believing student, I began to study "evolution" in college, intensely, as it was presented in different fields of study. The more I studied "evolution", without any outside pressure or axes to grind, it's premises unraveled before my logical eyes. Later I became a Christian, and once again pure logic brought me into believing in creationism, though others I knew, who were Christians, still believed in "evolution".
Lol you clearly have no understanding of evolution whatsoever. But no only that you then commit the black and white fallacy of thinking there are only 2 posible explanations and if one is not true then the must be by default !! NONCENCE
@@trumpbellend6717 Not to be rude, but I don't know what you read.
I stopped believing in the theory of evolution while I was an atheist. I didn't write anything about what I thought may replace it, for i didn't know. I just knew that it was very logically flawed.
When I became a Christian I later found out about and researched the view of creationists. It is actually a well thought out and logical belief.

How does a Rib become a woman?
Do you have examples of any transitional fossils from said rib to woman.?
If ribs can turn into women then why are there still ribs around ?
Why do we not have examples of the RIB KIND turning into cat or dog kinds?

@@kathleennorton6108 you really dare to to claim as logical that a god thought that the best way for him to be able to forgive man, for breaking rules that god knew in advance that they would break when he made those rules.

Yes yes yes, it is plain to us because HE opened our eyes to the truth. There is something extra the Lord gives that can not be measured or explained to another. The complexity of the creation could not have happened just like that, impossible! This is why I gave up trying to explain to those who will not even try to think deeply on the Word. Our mind, thought and emotion are all invisible even to the critics who cry ‘evidence’. What more can be said to them save for that they truly are blind to the real truth?
As are you I guess. Because you do not understand how life began, you resort as many do to 'It must be 'god' Who is he btw?
@@60andUP I do Understand how life began because it is given to us in the Word of God. God is the Creator, The Alpha and Omega, the One True Living God who existed from before the beginning of the foundation of the universe. God resists the proud, they are blinded by their very own pride and so how can they understand what they see let alone what they can not see? The proud one is wise and clever in his own eyes. The pride identifies him, without which, he or she has nothing. Pride and arrogance must be fed, a source must be found because they will not leave their host(you) alone. The proud think they know and have answers to everything like the biased critic, but they know not! Humbleness and lowliness are extremely hard to come by these days. The humble always know more and there is a reason why, think about this for a moment. The proud die in denial and agony without peace, but i wonder to what end?! If you claim or believe everything written in the bible is a hoax or a creation of all those that were instrumental being led by the Holy Spirit in recording It all these years combined, compared to the little knowledge you have accumulated in the short time you have lived, then it clearly shows your thought patterns and thread are skewed and inconsistent. Yes, pride leads us to forget how small we are, doesn't it? In term you could understand, what is magic? Do you watch horror movies, i do not...From where did the directors get the ideas to do these kind of pictures? Is exorcism a myth, is it also an act? Are ghosts non existent? Are haunted houses only found in movies? From where do these evil things come? It is either Jesus, the grey area or evil. Unfortunately, if it is not Jesus, all else is evil for it is of this world as man has made it by choice of evil from the free will given to him.
Moses KR I would have thought a definition of pride and arrogance might be exactly what you have written- without a shred of evidence for your beliefs. Well, good luck.
Yo Yo Why not apply the same yard stick of evidence to your arguments/ approach? Now then, Disprove the Word of God with evidence. That one fails to disprove another does not make their argument or conclusion ( for the refusal to reason or even lack of evidence thereof ) factual. It doesn’t make you right. At least reason with me.
The proper place for the study of religious beliefs is in a church or temple, or in a course of comparative religion, but not in a biology class. There is no place in our world for an ideology that seeks to close minds, force obedience, and return the world to a paradise that never was. Students should learn that the universe can be confronted and understood, that ideas and authority should be questioned, that an open mind is a good thing. Education does not exist to confirm people's superstitions, and children do not learn when they are fed only dogma.

As a Christian, I struggle with treating Genesis as a historical record - It's a bit like a textbook on the 20th Century that leaves out WW2...
Genesis writes about the Flood, but the Chicxulub impact that is clearly evidenced in our planet's strata is missing... The evidence for this impact is identified by geologists and it looks to be a catastrophe far greater than the Flood.
We believe Chicxulub impact took out the dinosaurs, but no one wrote about it. Not even the Australian Aborigines record this in song or art.
Geologists also are saying they have found chunks from the Theia impact deep down in our planet's core.
Where do these events appear on the YEC timeline?
There is a lot of references throughout the Bible, that lends to the idea of "election and predestination ", and the Omniscience of God, when it comes to those who would believe, and those whom He knew would not.

It was also the sign for the Christians to flee to the mountains. When the Roman forces overtook the city of Jerusalem in AD 70 the Jews retreated to the temple and were on the wall defending themselves.

He offered lots of evidence. He also pointed to the complexity of computer codes and some of the mechanisms that enable airplanes to fly, and compares the complexity of these man-made inventions to the complexity that exists in the natural world, such as the complexity that we find in hummingbirds, mosquitos, as well as the complexity that exists within the human cell. He uses all of these examples of incredible complexity within nature, and argues that the incredible degree of complexity and order that we see in the Universe could not have simply been the product of blind, random chance. That is his evidence.

Atheists believe that before
"the big bang" there was nothing.
Christians believe
that the Spirit Creator God was there.
So atheists have this incredible faith
in nothing suddenly popping into everything.
Christians have faith in this Incredible Creator
making everything out of nothing.
How can this be a difficult choice?
a) Nothing used nothing
to make everything out of nothing.
b) "In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth."
There is no evidence of a) ever having
happened again; none, zero, nicht, nada.
The scriptures attesting to b) have been with us
since as far back as we can remember.
Ironically the a) camp have the audacity
to claim proof for their position in "science".
Really? Yes, they think we're that stupid
to believe that magical events
can have a scientific basis.

You see we can fly over antarctica and greenland and measure the ice depth from the airplane. There isnt enough water to raise sea levels to the point where mountain ranges are under water. The biggest contributor antarctica would raise the sea level by 250ft if it totally melted. There was no biblical flood, not enough water.
Yes there are fossils in rocks right at the top of high mountains. Science knows how they got there, plate tectonics. Lateral forces from convection currents in the mantle can make continents collide, some rocks are thrust up as they do. India movig north collided with Asia and rocks with fossils in them were thrust up high. No flood is needed to explain them.
There was a little flood in the black sea, not long ago really, memories of it may have been passed down trough oral history. Oral history gets written down when people learn to write. It gets put into books. Its hardly surprising. Believing in the literal truth of such books is just silly.

Don't stop there, Simon. Tell us more about this chemistry of which you speak. Tell us about the origin of information in the first self-replicating organism. What genes did it require? Did it even have genes? How much DNA and RNA did it have - or did it even have nucleic acids? How did large information-rich molecules arise before natural selection? What environmental conditions made abiogenesis inevitable? Inquiring minds want to know.
*"...you wouldn't have to ask these questions."* I don't know how likeable you are, Simon, but you certainly are amusing. I ask those questions because I know that neither you nor anyone else knows the answers to them. Which explains why you jumped down not one, but FOUR rabbit holes. Don't wait for me to follow you down them, though. I don't do rabbit holes.
*”I also came here for amusement.”* I don’t know what amuses you, Simon, but I am amused every time I raise *SCIENCE* questions and the respondent uses a diversionary tactic to turn the discussion onto safer territory. In your case, you used four of the tried and true smoke and mirror techniques. The performance brought tears of mirth to my eyes, sir. Well done!

Not necessarily. People leave atheism for agnostic or mono-theistic viewpoints with regularity. Atheism is simply not a very strong proposition, philosophically or scientifically. It begins with arbitrarily assuming laws of logic with no proof that such laws exist and continues on to assert that laws of physics behave consistently enough that we can observe and make predictions using them. This is indeed necessary for scientific observation, but in the atheist's random-chance worldview, why would it be so?
I am a christian and found this to be a waste of my time. I do not want to hear about what you think or believe. I want reasoning...facts...evidence. There are many others who also need this as well.

I listened to some of your TH-cam story, Ernie. I appreciate your message, but I think it's not directly relevant to this. The field of molecular biology in recent decades has produced plenty of evidence that simple organisms simply couldn't have developed into today's life by any mechanism anything like evolution.
Man is incapable of understanding all of creation and what it took to get it all started in the beginning. Man spends billions of dollars a year that is robbed from tax payers to "discover" what is undiscoverable. When you throw money at anything the debacle begins. The most comfort that man shall ever have on this earth it the realization that Jesus fulfilled everything that He promised by AD 70. All was fulfilled. This is the greatest proof that He is whom He claimed to be and that there is a God. When that realization occurs then man can quit looking for scientific reasoning for the creation. The Creator is the reason. My book points out that Jesus did what He claimed. He told His apostles that they would not have gone through all the cities of Israel before His advent. He stated that those that pierced Him would live to see His coming. He told Peter that John would live to see His coming. Many think that Jesus' apostles lived under the New Covenant. That is fallacy. Paul states in Hebrews about the Old Covenant that "it waxeth old and is getting ready to disappear." Hebrews was written a minimum of twenty years after Jesus ascension. There are many other verses that also attest to this. Revelation 14:13 states "Blessed are those that die henceforth." This verse precedes a description of His coming. All were cursed under the law, the Old Covenant. All experienced death, the sinner and the saint. Under that which is perfect, the New Covenant, the repentant soul shall rise upon death of the fleshly body. The resurrection was only for those under the OC. The marriage supper of the Lamb was the marrying in of the OC saints into the NC that allows eternal life, which is in His kingdom. Prior to His coming on clouds and the consummation of the OC, no human soul had ever gone to heaven. It is all covered in my book. The only sources for research and study was the scriptures and historical documented facts only, and not the opinions of any man. Those that were "left behind" at the consummation were the Christians. The late great planet earth shall go on forever.
You shouldn't need anything more than Jesus, Blender
More and more it seems that the better and more accurately we understand the complexity of life on the "celluar" level the more we must discard evolution, atheism, and scientism as credible theories to explain scientific physical reality.

Atheists believe that before
"the big bang" there was nothing.
Christians believe
that the Spirit Creator God was there.
So atheists have this incredible faith
in nothing suddenly popping into everything.
Christians have faith in this Incredible Creator
making everything out of nothing.
How can this be a difficult choice?
a) Nothing used nothing
to make everything out of nothing.
b) "In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth."
There is no evidence of a) ever having
happened again; none, zero, nicht, nada.
The scriptures attesting to b) have been with us
since as far back as we can remember.
Ironically the a) camp have the audacity
to claim proof for their position in "science".
Really? Yes, they think we're that stupid
to believe that magical events
can have a scientific basis.

It astounds me that seemingly intelligent people can have such illogical beliefs. However, whatever makes you happy.
Another view: The writer of Gen. 1 did not write a history of the universe, in a modern sense of history. The writer sanctified the Name, so what he writes about the origins is consistent with who God is.
And:
God called the light DAY, not the darkness. There is only one day of creation, and that is the light that overcomes the darkness, in all aspects and fases of creation.
The reason you have to take a young earth creationist stance as a Christian is because a non-literal reading of genesis does not adequately answer the question of the “original sin” doctrine.
If you think I’m wrong, and you are an old earth creationist or theistic evolutionists...Explain to me who committed the first sin for mankind, and when that sin was committed (AKA when did humans separate from God).
Thank you for that dazzling display of gullibility and unsubstantiated claims.
Evidence. "I've got this book"
A book of truth, starting in verse one with God creating.
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.
@@2fast2block the smart answer is if you don't know is "I don't know". Have a bood that claims to be from a god is not proof of that god.

How do you people who put dislikes get past the first verse of the bible? It says how God did a supernatural creation. To me, creation is a big deal and it's wimpy to talk tough about things already created when creation itself needs to be explained. So I'm a creationist. Notice how the word "creation" is in that title. I believe creation was supernatural. No, I didn't automatically believe that God did it, but once I established it was supernatural by the overwhelming evidence, then I set out to find out what or who did the supernatural creation by having evidence to back that up. I did end up believing it was the God of the bible. It wasn't the 'god of the gaps' god, nor the 'we just don't know yet' god, nor the Big Bang, god, nor the 'nothing', god, nor the 'quantum physics', god, nor.... . Anyway, you get the picture.

You believe there is creation, you believe its supernatural, yet there is no evidence for that. So yes you kinda did automatically assume a god did it. You say there is overwhelming evidence, yet not a single theist is able to present it.

- the cause is supernatural, i guess it depends on what you mean by supernatural aswell.

Got it. So to you it makes sense that nothing can create. Not just create, it can give the laws of physics and all that follows.
Sorry to burst your bubble but we KNOW nothing will do nothing. Ignorance and denial on your part say volumes about your pathetic stance.
Just going by the 1LT alone, how there's a conservation of energy, it can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. It cannot happen by natural means. There's only one choice left, it happened supernaturally. But to you who wants me to believe you actually are of a sound mind, you don't believe the 1LT is true. You have science that would give enough doubt for the 1LT.
Please provide your evidence how you got around nothing doing nothing.
Please provide your evidence how the 1LT should be doubted.

Personal incredulity and an inability to comprehend the complexity of nature, is not a justifiable reason to invoke a supernatural god!
russ martin
well apparently god has revealed himself to millions of people across the world but for some reason there are still thousands of differing religions that contradict each other. And that’s why I’m an agnostic atheist. I think the existence of god could be a possibility, but I have the intellectual honesty to admit there’s no way I can know if one supernatural story is true over another supernatural story.
If one has to "comprehend" nature to be an atheist that's not evidently seen in te evidence of naturalism and evolution theory. If you can prove scientifically how mindless changes result in intelligent outcomes within nature such as the existence of DNA, complex biological systems, male and female reproduction in most lifeforms, the order of the universe, the evidence of order in the observable design in the human body ie the brain, the hands, the nervous system, the human eye, our ability to imagine, dream, create and design..I will listen to you but I think to be an atheists you do take all that for granted and try to fit God into your little box. You cannot comprehend God and that does not mean creationists cannot comprehend nature simply we KNOW the truth, nature was made BY God and it's order has limitations set by God from the beginning.
There's No God: That's only a proof that Trump is obviously no god.
The inadequacy of evolutionary theory to explain the indescribable integrated functional complexity of biological life is glaring in this day and age. Darwin's theory was accepted in the 1800s and it's wholly and completely insufficient to explain the vast array of life in light of today's knowledge of the biological world. We are told by evolutionists the "just so" story that an unknown microorganism flew over geological time constantly increasing in complexity until it culminated in the most complex thing in the known universe - the human brain. Yet, we haven't seen one instance of higher complexity in all of recorded history. The evidence that is given to support the Darwinian story can easily be interpreted in the context of Intelligent Design/Creation Science. If evolution is true, there must be evidence for it in the real world -- instead of interpretations to fit the neo-Darwinism story. Evolutionary theory is a scientific theory but it is not based on any empirical evidence.
It is also not a reason to reject God either. Simply because you cannot understand God does not mean He is not there.

100%
The story of Adam and Eve (which is what I'm assuming you asked about when you said the "Book of Genesis" in it of its literal self is not real. We have much scientific proof of the Earth's true age and evolution spanning back hundreds of years. That DOES NOT take away from the very much TRUE nature of the story. The story is meant to portray the nature of the human, which is to sin, and it is a story meant to give reason for honoring the sabbath day (hence how God rested on the seventh day). God worked through revelations and inspiration to ordinary people. That being said, there was no way that he could have even began to explain the entirety of Earth's history and creation to a feeble-minded human back in those times. Heck we don't even understand it fully to this day. The Bible was not meant to be a scientific book, that is why there are encyclopedias. The Bible is a guide to salvation and ultimately to heaven. I repeat, it tells us how to get to heaven, not how the heavens were made. I hope this helps.
P.S. It's not that the Bible is "false" but there are many types of literature in it. You have to differentiate between the literal and the figurative to get the full picture that is God's message.
We have imagined speculation that the earth is billions of years old.

Gen.11
KJV
[1] And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
[2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
[3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
[4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
[5] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
[6] And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
[7] Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
[8] So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
[9] Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
So what is God's character here? He sees that men are able to cooperate with each other, and that when mankind does this there is nothing they can't accomplish. God reacts with a fit of jealous rage and creates national and tribal division (symbolized by language difference) so that we can no longer cooperate with each other. Notice the people don't act out of pride, the purpose of the tower is not idolatry; surely the tower poses no threat to God. God simply wants to stop human beings living up to their full potential (if that still sounds wrong to you, go back and read it again). It is also noteworthy that God had to go down to earth to find out about the tower, so just as when he is surprised by developments in Eden: the author thinks god is not omnipotent.
Doe this hippy, or even the craziest Christian, think that English came into existence at this remote point in time? If it did, where was it until Beowulf? If it didn't, and Middle English came into existence as a pidgin between Old English and Old Norse as Tom SHippey and others think based on the evidence, in other words by a natural process, why should we think other languages did not do the same?
Nothing the speaker said confirms creationism or that there is a GOD other than that the speaker believes in it. The speaker is amazed at life and he explains it to himself that GOD is responsible. In fact the 1 billion years of life from a single cell to the incredible current complexity of life proves there is no GOD. I have no fear of a GOD nor do I take issue with your chosen faith. There develops a threat when those with a faith demand that I have the same faith not another faith, conduct my life based on their understanding of their faith and constrict my freedom to be myself in order to validate the faith they themselves insist on following. To paraphrase a common meme, "Don't tread on me", your faith ends on your front step, not at mine.
I'm sorry to say this but you need to be more informed. First, just because you believe that life can evolve from a single cell to our present configuration does nothing to eliminate the need for God. The challenge isn't just getting from a single cell to the present, which is a huge challenge that scientists have yet to explain, but in the origin of life to begin with. In the Ool question there are astronomically larger obstacles to overcome. So until there is a viable model for the Ool, then you have no cause to say that God is unneeded, even if you believe that biological evolution makes it so.
Second, I know very few people who demand that you have the same faith as them. No Bible believing Christian would because the Bible says you have to make a personal choice to follow Jesus.
As for restricting freedom, every belief system put into law does that. Its certainly, inconsistent, to act like its wrong for people of faith to be against something like abortion and ignore the secular godless community that is trying to force their opinions about sexual orientation on my children. The simple truth is that all laws are based off of some group of people's opinion about right and wrong.
Otherwise, no one is telling you that you can't be yourself. Be whoever you want to be but that doesn't give you the right to force others to accept you for who you want to be. So don't be a hypocrite and hyperbolize what people of faith are doing to you.
@@blusheep2 Evolution is not a huge challenge. Believing that all life was created in 1 week, although not really as only ADam and Eve existed at first. But how did they and their off spring procreate, incest? If a God created in his own image why did a God have genitles? Why is there not a recorded history of these events other than a story told millenium after the fact? So many real questions and the Bible offers nothing but a demand that you beleive only one myth.
So, he's convinced. I'm convinced otherwise.
Evolutionists believe that before
"the big bang" there was nothing.
Christians believe
that the Spirit Creator God was there.
So atheists have this incredible faith
in nothing suddenly popping into everything.
Christians have faith in this Incredible Creator
making everything out of nothing.
How can this be a difficult choice?
a) Nothing used nothing
to make everything out of nothing.
b) "In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth."
There is no evidence of a) ever having
happened again; none, zero, nicht, nada.
The scriptures attesting to b) have been with us
since as far back as we can remember.
Ironically the a) camp have the audacity
to claim proof for their position in "science".
Really? Yes, they think we're that stupid
to believe that magical events
can have a scientific basis.
@@chrisneeds6125 you obviously have no clue what the big bamg says. It does not say everything came from nothing. Everything came from a hot dense spot. I think you might need to do some real study into what science says and not listen to conmen
@@shanehughes8528
😊
I wonder who is listening to conmen Shane?
I listen to the Creator of the universe; the One Who you scoff at. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but it ends in death." You have been warned.
@@chrisneeds6125 so you have been talking to your self? Thats qhat I hear when I hear people talk to God. People have been "warning" me since I was 9. Guess what nothing has happened causd your god does not exist.
@@chrisneeds6125 that by the way made absolutely no sense cause we all die sir. No matter what we do or who we believe in.
You don't have to be a Creationist to believe in Jesus.
Scripture is self authenticating and the God of Scripture is consistent with the Genesis account. I very much agree but I tend to take the Old Earth view.
Living proof that “educated” and “intelligent” are not interchangeable terms....
Yes sir, you are. All the knowledge of the world at your finger tips with no Wisdom to ask why it is so.
I am a Creationist Christian. It certainly is a lot easier to have faith in God rather than a big bang. Everything of nature knows we have a God. Only man rejects Him.
"It certainly is a lot easier to have faith in God rather than a big bang."
*Very true because it takes no 'faith' to accept the BB since there's plenty of evidence and no evidence of any invisible magicians.*
There is no evidence at all for the Big Bang. All speculation.
Christof L: There is lots of evidence for the Big Bang. For example, the light from galaxies throughout the Universe is largely red-shifted, which means that the Universe is expanding. There's also Cosmic Background Radiation, which is leftover radiation from the Big Bang. I am very much a believer that God created the Universe, and I see the Big Bang in the Bible - "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."
You are a Creationist Christian! I never heard such inane claptrap as what you just vomited on the internet.
Derek Atkins: The universe is expanding and that is observable but there is no way of knowing it was ever condensed in one point the size of a period on a page of writing that is speculation. There is another theory of the universe called the "breathing universe" where expansion and contraction takes place. Cosmic background radiation does not necessitate a big bang. You are right the Creator/Creators could have used the Big Bang as well as evolution once life was created but someone had to create the conditions for life as well as life before this could take place. Organization does not come from chaos. Macro-evolution doesn't ever take place and life never comes from non life.
love all the haters here. you know you're speaking truth when the haters come to hate! The sign of success is that these people take time out of their day to comment on what they believe is so silly. Good stuff!
EverythingNewUnderThe Son, therefore, you hating on the haters is proof that evolution is right. Stop making creationists look more stupid.
actually loving haters IS the christian thing to do. What would Jesus do, he loves you SO much He laid down His life to cover your sin. You don't have to accept that he did, but it doesn't change the fact that he did!
EverythingNewUnderThe Son, if you were of another religion and heard of that blood sacrifice, you would probably think its a trick from Satan and ask yourself how people can possibly find comfort in letting someone suffer for them. Is Jesus not a scape goat? No offence.
EverythingNewUnderThe Son, BTW, it can also be said (by your logic) that loving those who believe scientific fact means that the scientific fact is true.
EverythingNewUnderThe Son, is taking your time to correct flat earthers mean they are winning also? I don't believe your argument is valid.
You are a creationist, because you have a penchant for pretending. It just feels good for you.

The bible isn't a history book
really ? since it is full of history ie Babylon, Medes and Persians, Greece, Rome, Ethiopia, etc what kind of book is it then ?
@@TKO67 Fiction.
Hebrew mentality: You can eat your children. Deuteronomy 28:53-63, Leviticus 26:29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.....Kings 6:29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him.".... They believe in talking snake, talking donkey, talking trees, unicorn, food falling from sky, incest, slavery, sensless killings, giants Genesis 6:4.... rain comes from open window of heaven.. god breath fire Job 41:21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth.....yes all of these are in the bible.
Thank you, Dr Tackett. I’m grateful this science is being done and discussed. However, I would like to point out that it might be a good idea to make a point of using the more accurate terms “creation scientist and creation science”. Using the term “creationist” seems to give the false impression that the science is sketchy, like an astrologist.
I know that you know you are a bonafide, PhD scientist. I want to help the people watching this (and other videos on this topic) to take what your saying seriously. So many have the impression you guys are wackos. But your not, you are a real scientist.
Keep up the good work! I wish I could help, but I’m undereducated, and have no skills except a logically thinking mind.
I’m sure the trolls will have fun with my comments, but I don’t care what they think anyway. Anyone who spends so much time making snide remarks on other people’s posts has to have a miserable life. How I pray that the Lord open their minds to see the truth, and that they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their savior! Amen
With all the respect, the speech is a circular argumentation, thus no argumentation. You are talking about what your beliefs are, and from the title of video, one could expect to see some argumentation, not beliefs. One beliefs are for no help for another. You are saying Genesis is... consistent with God, but God is depicted by humans, who wrote Genesis also. Circular walking. If you have grown up reading the Scripture, that explains much. Should you have been born in India, you would have grown up reading Bhagavadgita, so this speech, with respect, doesn't help anybody to reason anything. Or maybe I did not cath the purpose of the speech.
There are so many naive, childish things in the Bible (Genesis and those about Adam, Eve, apple etc) that look like written in a hurry to explain somehow the World. Humans do not like unexplained things and are a scary species when it comes to beliefs. So they invent, even these days, stories over stories about anything. The human brain and the construction being a believing being, no matter in what, didn't change in 2000 years - just stacked different stories accordingly to the times. If one believe one story it does not mean that that is the true... Sad, but homo sapiens it is what it is
New International Version
And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the LIVESTOCK, the creatures that move along the ground, and the WILD ANIMALS, each according to its kind." And it was so. - Genesis 1:24
Livestock are farm animals while Wild Animals are Carnivorous animals. They have fangs and sharp claws for a reason. God gave all living creatures plants to eat to sustain life but not because all animals were vegetarians. WILD ANIMALS ARE NOT WILD EATING GRASS !!!!!
Would a deer be a wild animal?
