- How did God create evil if He cannot exist with it in the first place? Furthermore, how can a good God allow evil things to happen on this earth without intervening? These are questions that evolutionists use to dissuade against the Christian faith. Calvin Smith has some answers to these questions that you might not expect.

He’s not going to because he doesn’t exist. It’s up to us humans to work together and listen to one another. Not sit around like children until sky daddy fixes everything.

@@kenvanwyck7362 So what you’re saying is if we can’t 100% predict the weather, we shouldn’t bother making any improvements within society?
I’m sorry, but that’s a pathetic excuse to avoid responsibility and to avoid critical thinking.
Prove to me your jesus exists at all before trying to threaten me with him.
@@kenvanwyck7362 haven't you guys been waiting for 1/3 of what you believe is the whole universe's existence?
"The wages of sin is death." Therefore, when death, suffering, and tragedy comes upon the Earth and its creatures, including people, it is NOT because God is punishing us, but, rather, because the sin that we loosed into the world, is paying its wages. God is the answer to the dilemma, not the accuser/punisher... "God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but, (rather) that the world might be saved (from sin and its wages) through Him."
Excellent ....looking for the new heavens and new earth!
Beautifully and eloquently presented, in my opinion.
Not really much of an opinion in that case is it?
@@pedalandpop783 Atheism is lame. It fosters nothing in people outside of scorn as you well demonstrate.

I just had this same discussion with someone that asked why I believe in an evil God.
How could they define 'Evil' if there was no God?
@@ben0298Exactly
God is good.
@@ben0298 Evil is defined by man.
@@ben0298Why would a god be required to define evil?
Gravity has to be just right for us to come into being. We have to be at the right distance from the sun to come into being . God has a hand in this .
What would’ve happened if we’d not been at that right distance?
@davidwood2387 please enlighten me on what gravity has to do with our existence.
@@traumainduced4905if you do not know how to do an internet search I will help.
"We have to be at the right distance from the sun to come into being."
However the distance between the Sun and Earth varies from about 91.4 million and 94.5 million miles. So while there is no single "right" distance, the range of distances we currently exist from that mass of mostly hydrogen experiencing nuclear fusion does serve to allow life on our planet to continue existing.
@@ralphreinert Please don't use facts to argue against bible believers.
Anybody who thinks they are mature enough to reject the existence of God at the age of 16 is beyond foolish.
Evil is not good for any worldview. But, the Christian worldview makes sense of evil and reconciles it like no other worldview can. We have the promise of a perfect paradise with Jesus Christ and reunited with family in Christ. It’s a problem for everyone, but a bigger problem for atheist that cannot reconcile it and presents no justice or injustice.
Life is unfair that’s why. There is no supreme being because then he needs someone else to have authority over him for all the unintelligent things he has done.
@@Legend-mg2ry God is eternal. He is supreme and He created everything perfect and good. It was man’s disobedience that brought about the evil we see today. The solution to overcome evil is to turn to Jesus Christ, for forgiveness for sin.
@@Legend-mg2ry
What happens beyond the grave? Do you know?
@@Legend-mg2rylife is unfair because people make it so.The greed and indifference of many people yet judge other peoples wrong doings is one reason jesus came intomthe world,to expose human injustice.
@@Legend-mg2ry Another melodramatic comment from you. Trolling much? J
Information alone proves the existence of God such information is required for creation and you can't have information without intelligence
Thank you AIG, Will bookmark this video
Imagining the sheer variety of plant-life necessary to sustain all animals fully is an exercise that expands my appreciation of the sheer creative variance of God. Surely the pre-flood world and Eden before it were marvelous places. That means when Christ returns and restores the world, we will have an even more wonderful world in which to live. Praise God.
Amen! Praise God, and let's be sure we are prepared to be in the 144,000 to give the gospel message to the whole world, and keep the 7th day Sabbath like he said to do.
@@statutesofthelord
Blessed Sabbath to you and your family. 🌻
Only a Jew can be one of the 144,000. It will be their job and their honour to give the gospel out during the tribulation.
if you're not a Jew that's not the job for you ! Have a blessed day.
Evolution by natural selection explains the diversity of life on earth. No need to adhere to mythical stories like eden or the flood story, which we know was impossible and couldn’t happen.
How did that plant life survive a year long flood? I don't know of any plants that could survive what is described there.... much less all plants around today.
Appreciation and blessings from Sydney Australia. Universal prayers for us all during these dark days...
Amen 🙏
Great job Calvin!
I really enjoy your presentations. You are a blessing ✝️☝🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

You're right on point, atheism is a catastrophic way of thinking.
What’s so catastrophic about not being convinced of any gods and what does atheism have to do with evolution?
Atheism is not defined as disbelief in Zeus, Helios or any other god. Atheism is the belief that there is nothing like anything called God. In other words; there's nothing purposeful or there's nothing with true meaning. A literal atheist will admit that everything about existence and reality up until this point was all based on chance from the very start of the universe to this point, despite the insane odds against that ever being the case, they still push that idea on. And trust me allot of papers done on evolution are seriously based on speculation, not actual science. You can't really be an actual atheist without 'belief' in evolution.
I don't have the capacity to convince anyone to believe in Christianity but you should understand that the existence of God is independent of any religion.
@@mountkeen8701 I believe that the universe isn't an accident, that's all
@@mountkeen8701 what type of evidence are you looking for? And what evidence are you basing you atheism on?
The fine tuning of the universe is an insane evidence and biology is another, the abstract laws that guide the universe is also a strong evidence and consciousness is also a deep one. The very fabric of Matter screams out design not randomness. So if this isn't good evidence for you then your eyes are blocked by the DEVIL himself.
All Praise to the Creator!
This is exactly true. If God doesn't exist you can't say something is evil, bad, or good. Says who?!
If he were to exist which he doesn’t why would it automatically make things objective? Just him?
@@Legend-mg2rylegend, Do you know God doesn't exist?
God has nothing to do with good or evil. Those are manmade concepts.
@josephscala6707 Free will has a down side for those who opt to veer away from God. That's where the evil kick started. J
@Legend-mg2ry He exists. I've got evidence you can't refute. Verifiable. I'm sure you don't want to know though. Which makes your comment just whinging. J
The only thing that Evil proves is that God gives us a choice...[in this Dimension]
Amen
good content and great scene setup!
...and the Lion shall dwell with the lamb.
Great job. Thanks
For believers to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. For the Unbelievers the Judgment.
This was amazing
in the beginning god created everything good. but adam and eve were like a train that got derailed. it is jesus who gets us back on the train track of god. bless you, mr. smith. for this again another beautiful presentation in defense of the faith handed down to us by those sent by god.
Romans 1:18 - 20 - WEB
18 - For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 - because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them. 20 - For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
Romans 1:19 - 20 makes it clear.
In New Zealand at the last census 48.2% of the population declared they had no religion at all. In a survey conducted in prisons in New Zealand less than one per cent of the inmates declared they had no religion at all. So atheists it seems have a much higher moral code than believers.
Morality and empathy are evolved traits that helped us work together cooperatively in groups to enhance our survival as a species. This is common in not only humans but in most mammals. A doe will put her own life at risk to protect her fawn. There are numerous cases of dogs putting their own life in danger to protect their owner.
The morality of killing another human is neither right nor wrong. Most people would never consider harming another person, let alone killing them. But if their country is attacked most people would have no worries about taking to arms to fight, and if necessary kill, the invaders.

Whoop-de-doo. Shame you didn't use it to actually say something. 😉
Most TH-cam atheist are calling you guys wrong and they give evidence and I think if you would respond or atleast make a follow up video about things you guys left out this will help people more understand this better
Amazing! God bless you to whoever reads this.
Wow! That was awesome!
Can someone explain to me when God says He creates evil what He means by that?
Depending on the translation, He says “calamity”, “disaster” or “bad times” instead of “evil”. It’s not moral evil He’s talking about. More like adversity.
@@psyck thank you so much!!!!
Hi
The cognitive dissonance caused by the movie ‘Jaws’ amongst ‘Christians’ is TOTALLY attributable to the ‘Sugar Daddy’ image of Almighty God being preached from coast to coast every Sunday !
WHERE IS THE FEAR OF GOD WHICH IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM ?
Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over His Creation from Jerusalem forever.
True science proves the existence of God especially in proving that a universe cannot be created from absolutely nothing without an intelligent source because a universe created from absolutely nothing would violate the laws of the physical universe
Something cannot be created from nothing, that part is true. But where in any scientific literature does it say there must be an intelligent source?
Did you know they had a machine clamp on her leg and didn't tell her about it so her reaction to being pulled under isn't acting it's her real fearful reaction!
Excellent video. The puffer fish at 18:50 was undoubtedly used to give a light touch to the video, but actually, they kill about as many people a year as sharks do!
Our human moral values are quite well explainable through secular means, in fact I personally find that explanation much more plausible, less problematic and befitting the world much better than any of the theological ones.
But the existence of evil in itself doesn't disprove the possible existence of God, there are a wide variety of explanations that could relay this. For instance a God that simply doesn't care, is incapable of intervening, has moved on, has a greater plan that transcends our understanding, God delights in our suffering, and so on.
What it does do, is create a bit of a problem for the religious claims of having a all powerful, all loving/caring/good and all knowing God. Because this means every single ounce of suffering could have been avoided. In fact every single thing that has happened in the entire history and future of existence, is by God's plan/design.
So you cannot claim that "God want's nothing more than...", "God hopes for...", "God is disappointed in...", "God wishes...", etc. Because due to the traits and abilities you've claimed God has, all of these things become impossible, because with that set of abilities, everything God wants..IS.
There is nothing that can happen without God willing it to happen, which eventually also removes any notion of free will and basically any meaning to existence...
none of dawkins quotes aged very well though considering he just came out saying he prefers a christian foundation for society as opposed to any other foundation.
These people that make excuses for evil behavior because they believe in evolution just prove God exists because they prove that they are evil
Only in a limitless earth would non-death exist. It's a reach to say that all living things were created to be vegan. Abel, among the first born of Adam, presented an offering of lamb before God...and that was considered a gift rather than a sin offering! After all, Christ distinguishes even those who physically passed away as "living"...so continuity after physically passing away may have been part of the original design as well! Death, on the other hand, is more to be understood as eternal separation from God and rest.

I love the content, and agree with it, but the ominous music and the frequent sound of rushing detracted from it. I can't imagine any atheist that would even click to watch would be persuaded by such theatrics.

Yes, humans construct moral and legal systems. Humans also construct religious systems involving Gods. Some choose to follow these systems, and some chose not to. That's reality.
Which means there is no such thing as good or evil/right or wrong in your worldview...
And God became incarnate to prove himself in that generation and beyond. That is reality.
@@johnglad5😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@calvinsmith7575morals are not objective. They are subjective. If your god was real which he isn’t, then his moral ideas given to us were subjective to him.
@@Legend-mg2ry Do you realize what you've just said. Morals are subjective. That means nothing is wrong. Sad. In my prayers
The answer to why there is evil in the world is plain, simple and easy. It is because we chose to know evil. We chose the tree of the knowledge of good and evil despite God warning us that we would surely die. We didn't listen.
Good answer. Chose to,know evil not enforced.
Okay, now swap the word "evil" out for "suffering". Why is there suffering in the world?
@@alextowers3564 Because it is a fallen world and has been for a very long time. Everything is in varying degrees of decay.

Theodicy is not a hard question for me.
No step of creation prior to now was the final form of reality.
They were never meant to be.
We know from what Jesus said, there will be no marriage in Heaven. They will be like the children of God.
That means the marriage of Adam and Eve was only a mechanism, and the first of many temporary phases.
The antedeluvian and postdelivian world, the promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the captivity, the wandering, the Judges and the kings and the dispersion, the work of Jesus, the church age, the coming Tribulation and Millennium and final battle with Gog and Magog, at least 1007 years from now, all these are steps and phases.
These are handprints in the forming clay.
The final pot, a vessel for holy use, will be after that.
God is currently distilling out all the evil that can exist, and when He has concentrated it in one place, then He will destroy it forever.
Finally, in our glorified bodies, we will be members of God's creation, the final product He designed at the first and spent thousands of years forming.
We will be appropriate images of God.
The entire universe will be populated with creatures, complete and whole.
The highest creatures will be us, the ones that are capable of sinning and creating evil, but actively choose, every time, not to.
The next highest, angels, tje same.
After that, maybe animals, incapable even of sinning, unable to defy the will of God.
Over all the creatures of course, the uncreated Creator.

4:13 Like Dan Brown ditched Orthodox Christianity over belief in Evolution, _without_ confrontation with Fundies, simply through a conversation with an _also_ Evolution believing clergyman.
***questions of this kind made by anyone and tried to be answered just shows that both sides have no idea what GOD is all about, as well being a living thing in this planet EARTH, let alone it this infinite Universe; those questions have only one answer, there is something else to consider that transcends the infinite, that thing is the eternal, IS GOD. For my understanding as more human I am more spiritual I became. GOD is a spirit, with qualities that answer all those questions that all of us have sooner or later or never, nevertheless the questions are there. ***
I have a question for you answer in genesis.. you guy make everything biblical for us Christian’s but I have a question why you guys don’t talk about when people on TH-cam debunk or call your theory’s wrong you guys should respond to those videos so you guys can better explain what you guys mean by like ice 4000 years ago people in the comments had questions about things you guys left out!

@@frankcardano4142 Evolution is not shown in the fossil record. And mutations couldn't build a compost heap.
@Lloydz77 Yeah you have no clue what you're talking about. Would you like to discuss evolution?
Only fools say in their heart, there is no God. Though I do find it fascinating that God himself hides the greater, more encapsulating, higher truths from the wise & prudent, & reveals them to babes (the simple of heart). Giving understanding & grace to the simple to confound the wise--the so called intelligentsias of today.
On the subject of morality itself, particularly the question of why evil (suffering in the world) exists if God is. God himself forbade Adam, prior to his fall, from eating of the fruits of a particular tree--the tree of the knowledge of good & evil, though God didn't technically remove eating it as an option--He gave free will. Adam ate it anyhow, committing high treason.
I find it funny, in an ironic sense, that the most puzzling question the world has on morality itself stems from the one tree God forbade Adam eating from.
The fruits produced by that tree has been grafted to the very genetic makeup of the first Adam, & by reason of his transgression, every human born after him essentially became heirs of his transgression. There is simply no escaping God.

First off, God didn't create satan. God created an archangel called Lucifer who reblled against God and wanted to be like God and so he was cast out of heaven with 1/3 of the angels in heaven who also were also part of the conspiracy and then Lucifer became satan. Thats why people have struggles with God because they believe He created evil. No he didnt.
See this passage of Isaiah 14: 12 - 15:
"How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.[b]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,
to the depths of the pit."
God knows everything that will happen.
God created lucifer knowing all he would do.
God is all powerful.
God permitted lucifers rebellion and knew it would happen.
God created evil. Deal with it.
Iniquity existed before humans were created, so that the intent to do harm was a result of God creating the angelic host. God allowed Himself to be extorted with humans in the middle,
to both send His Son to be the ransom for that extortion, and to prove His Love to His creation. God knew all in advance of it happening, and had the fail safe prepared for the contingency.
God didn't create evil, He created beings, with free will, and thereby allowed for the possibility for evil to arise. Obviously the end justifies the means, we all have our skin in the game.
Free will demands the opportunity to betray God, so God must allow it, as long as He has provided remediation for it, He remains Divinely Just.
michael, your statement: "the intent to do harm was a result of God creating the angelic host" is incorrect.
@@statutesofthelord Lucifers' betrayal was an intent to do harm, and he deceived a third of the angelic host, and through Satans' deceit propagated betrayal in our progenitors. By his extortion of God, Christ Jesus gave His life as ransom to provide a means of reconciliation.

it is a consequence of the free will of Lucifer exclusively, a consequence of there being entities with free will.
Aside from the abyssal ignorance of what a shark is... Namely a living animal.

Your "Law Of The Jungle" is a self serving capitalist jingle, meant to justify greed.
And was coined by men who had never set foot in a jungle.
In a jungle, survival for any social species, depends on teamwork. Not brute strength.
Next.
The "appeal to nature" fallacy. Pretending that morality is not a beneficial tool for species survival. Again, TEAMWORK.
Teamwork requires mutual trust. Hence morality.
Also, A line from a movie, is not a scientific theory.
The difference between shark morality, and human morality, is that a human cannot survive alone.
A shark can. Therefore human morality must be more complex, to accommodate a more complex social order.
Its not someone's feelings.
Its survival
And your capital IF is telling. IF it was just feelings, we would not have survived.
And then the appeal to authority.
I understand wanting to defend the faith and I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with peopel lying about science, or mocking people who follow science
The real question should be asked and answered by Christians ,considering their book of riddles they claim was Gods word because some one had God at their convenience to jot down Gods word.
That question is, " when did God first come to the realisation he? is a God" and then conjure up all the elements required to create, what! out of his rectum.
More so, Jesus knew there was/is no God. Jesus come to the realisation there is no God because Jesus said , " I and the Father are one", and then God believers nailed him to a cross for that.
This teacher is clutching at straws because evolution is taking away his jelly beans of belief.
Evolution is real cry about it.
What is Evolution? Isn't it Adaptation and Natural Selection over a very long period of time?
I agree with Albert Einstein. He said that the Cosmos created/creates intelligent life, therefore the Cosmos is God. Look up "Pan Spermia" which is the mechanism I have always ascribed too as a Zoology Grad.
Man's organized religion was created as a power structure for a ruling class of educated priests.
The story of evolution is the foundation of the man made religion of humanism...
@grog5564 - _"the Cosmos is God."_
*Then you worship the creation rather than the Creator.*
Adaptation is designed into us. Any good creator would build into His creation the ability to adapt to changing environments. Adaptation works by natural selection of beneficial characteristics from the existing gene pool. If it doesn't exist in the gene pool it can't be selected. Evolution is imaginary. Evolution is people looking at what is and presuming one creature turning, or evolving into another. Not observing it, imagining it. Evolutionists believe that if finches beaks can adapt to available diet and if covid can adapt to our isolating it means that dinosaurs can grow feathers and fly or that apes/monkeys can design, build and fly aircraft, or write original novels. But they are wrong, they can't, unless the ability is already designed into the gene pool waiting to be selected when it becomes beneficial. What sort of intelligent designer could know which qualities would become beneficial in the future and design them into the original prototype? Only God.
_"Man's organized religion was created as a power structure for a ruling class of educated priests."_
Here, you're saying that God's creation created God, which is irrational. God is the uncreated Creator of man. That's to Whom Christians are referring by the word "God": the uncreated Creator of man. So, when you say that God was created, you are contradicting a tautology (which is always irrational to do); by saying God was created, you are contradicting the truth that the uncreated Creator is uncreated. To contradict truth is always to affirm falsehood, so, by affirming that God was created, you are affirming a falsehood.
BTW, nobody (whether on the internet or off) has, or is obligated to have, a shred of respect or admiration for your attempted prop of calling yourself "a Zoology Grad". Take it from me, a famous Indy 500 champion: it means absolutely nothing.
It's a bunch of hand crafted fake missing links, and " we don't know " statement disguised with hand drawn tree of life non existent connections. J
Why do you show Roy Scheider saying, "There is no God" on your thumbnail? From all I can find online he was apparently a Christian. Are you not bearing false witness against a fellow Christian with this thumbnail?
Roy Scheider, rest in peace...🕊❤🙏
There are many stories about gods but sadly no god has ever made a public appearance.
Now would be a good time.
2023 years ago God became flesh.
There are 40 historical accounts of Jesus Christ who is God the Son recording that He existed out side of the Biblical records , and there are the gospels where recorded eyewitness accounts of the death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection and the words recorded 500 people who saw Him alive , so one would have to say that God has appeared in public.
Well if you like to be melodramatic God will definitely not show up for you- but He shows up for me, want evidence? And then there's prophecy unfolding all around you- but that's just coincidence right? J
Morality is based on the Golden Rule. Have you ever told a lie (answers Yes) Okay, so how would you like it if someone lied to YOU? Well then, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Therein lies the dilemma. BUT, Christ said "If you don't believe what the prophets wrote, How then can you believe what I'm saying?" So we have three things that need to be addressed. 1. Do you believe what the prophets wrote? 2. Do you understand and admit you are immoral (Sinful) 3. Do you understand the provision given to you by which you must be saved? (Messiah). As for Satan. Satan will remain as long as he is useful to Almighty God. The second he is no longer useful his end will come.
"useful"? Satan is "useful"?
@@statutesofthelord To God of course. ALL things are useful to God. Especially Satan. Pharaoh was pretty useful. Without evil how could God possibly show us his good?
@@blueeyedsoulmanblueeyed, you serve a different God than the God of the Holy Bible.
God made everything "good". Please go back to reading and believing your Holy Bible.
@@statutesofthelord I serve the true and living God. He made it good, humans handed it over to Satan. Jesus did not argue with Satan that he could not give Jesus these things when Jesus was being tempted. He beat Satan at his own game when he was crucified. If Satan new what was happening he never would have allowed it. The whole world is subject to Satan at this time (Although God has him on a leash. He can't, for example, destroy the world or Israel.) If you think the world in its present state is "good" I'd hate to see your idea of evil. It's a fallen world ruled by Satan. Temporarily of course, when Satan and his followers are no longer useful in the Lords plan he will destroy all of them in the lake of fire. Everything I'm paraphrasing is directly from scripture.
@@blueeyedsoulman"Satan never would have allowed it". That is ridiculous speculation.
Your continued insistence that evil people are "useful" for God is either an indication that you don't know the English language very well, or else you are trying to put down the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
I think it is not wise for an evangelical Christian to emphasize ways how people fall from faith. As much as you dislike the theory of evolution, I would rather people believe in the gospel but not young earth rather than them leaving Christianity.
YEC usually leads Christian’s into atheism.
acd, it is not possible to truly be Christian and disbelieve parts of the Bible you don't like.
@@statutesofthelord
You mean like not agreeing with slavery, rape or stoning children to death like the bible commands?
@@statutesofthelord Do you do doubt that there are Christians who do not believe in young earth? You might not accept them as Christians, but Jesus might.
@@acd1235acd, this applies to those who do not believe what the Holy Bible says about those who disbelieve the Holy Bible: 2Corinthians 11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Please repent of your rebellion against Jesus today, and start believing and following his holy words.
Yeah, when you believe in fairy tales you can explain anything🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why would you look to Richard Dawkins - a man you vehemently disagree with - on the compatibility of evolution and Christian belief, rather than getting quotes from some of the millions of Christians who have no problem believing in evolution. When you have to turn to Richard Dawkins to support your belief, there’s a very good chance your belief is wrong.
Quoting a hostile witness who is consistent is far better at proving your point than others who are completely inconsistent in their beliefs, even if they are professing believers...
@@calvinsmith7575 There’s nothing inconsistent about a Christian believing in evolution.
@@billcook4768bill, a "Christian" believing in Evolution is calling Jesus a "liar".
@@statutesofthelord Lol. I’ve read through the gospels many times. Don’t recall Jesus ever saying anything about evolution.
@@billcook4768 bill, I'm not sure what version of the Holy Bible you are reading, but this clearly shows that Jesus refuted Evolution:
Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
Are you sure you've never read that until just now?
How do you pick which God to believe in? That alone should be enough to see all religions for what they are, no more real than santa claus.
Ah you pick the one and only God who makes this claim , In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And in Job 1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
2“Who is this who obscures My counsel
by words without knowledge?a
3Now brace yourselfb like a man;
I will question you, and you shall inform Me.c
4Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know!
Or who stretched a measuring line across it?
6On what were its foundations set,
or who laid its cornerstone,d
7while the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
That's like saying 'Which dollar bill should I believe in?' One is real and there are counterfeits. But the fact that there are variable options does not conclude there is no real one or there is no God.
@timmos184 says: *How do you pick which God to believe in? That alone should be enough to see all religions for what they are, no more real than santa claus.*
It was God himself that convinced me that he was the God of the bible after my relationship was established with him after I believed (trusted) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) because I didn't believe in the God of the bible when I first believed (trusted) the gospel (1 Corinthains 15:1-4) because I didn't believe in the existence of Adam, Eve, or creation as stated in the bible.
I believed in the existence of a creator in general that used the big bang to form the universe and then used evolution to mold and shape all life to how it is today to be the father of Jesus and that version of God was definitely NOT the father of Jesus, but I got saved anyway despite believing such a thing.
After my relationship was established with God, he corrected me in regards to what I believed to be wrong about who he really was when I believed in the existence of a creator in general.
I really don't think it matters what god you believe in because it's all about Jesus dying for our sins and his resurrection that saves us and establishes our relationship with God.
Once one's relationship is established with God through believing (trusting) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) he will correct you so that you will know who he truly is instead of what you believe him to be.
So...in a way...God picks himself for you to believe in and you don't have to do the picking at all, you just have to believe that Jesus is the son of a creator being and then believe (trust) the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

Sorry but you can't have morality without God man's ideal morality includes their own selfishness and greed then it's not morality it's just man's opinion
Christians do horrible and harmful things all the time and use god to justify their actions. Is harassing a trans person to the point of suicide moral? Christians will say yes. I'm an atheist and I say they is evil. Is it moral to forcing a person to give birth even if the mother's life is threatened? Is voting against a bill that would fund school lunches to all children wrong?

It has already been demonstrated that the Abrahamic god of the bible was not the creator but you ignore the evidence and carry on I can only assume it;s for the money
It’s funny how all the things you said has been refuted and showed to be false arguments. God bless you man hope you study the Bible before you make false claims.
It has been demonstrated? Really? What repeatable, observable experiment has demonstrated that?
@@calvinsmith7575prayer lol. Belief in the Christ. In my life... I can assure you that it is so. I say as an absolute truth Jesus works in my life in exactly the way He describes in the Bible. Day after day.

The overwhelming evidence from archeological records that show yahweh, el Shadai, el Elohim, jeshua and so on we’re all different gods from surrounding territories.
They act in different ways.
Are you familiar with the documentary hypothesis?
How was this proven... please share
"Root of disbelief"? That statement is so idiotic, what is the root of not believing in green men on the moon? Or fairies at the end of rainbows? That is the wrong way of looking at reality, you need a reason to belief, THAT NEEDS A ROOT, you DO NOT NEED A REASON NOT TO BELIEVE.
Starting out with a fallacy and going from there is unfortunately not the dumbest thing in this video.
If there was clear evidence for a single God, why are there so many different religions all believing things that are not compatible with each other.
There's no need for God in any of this, it's adding an extra layer of supernatural intervention where it is not needed.
The idea of the supernatural started from people trying to understand the universe and lacking the abilities to do so picked the only thing they could, THEY MADE SHIT UP.
Now, there's more we don't know then we do know, but in everything we have found, there's no sign of God. Those that see one, all see something different and believe in different Gods that did different things for different reasons.
Natural things can't regress infinitely into the past, so how is supernatural intervention not needed?
Supernatural intervention is needed because what is natural needs a starting point so that it can progress beyond that starting point.
If something natural does NOT have a starting point it can't exist to begin with.
@@danielblair4413you don’t know that. There is many possibilities. The universe could be eternal/recycle
Why so angry? Why so many religions? Religion is man's attempt to reconcile himself with the LORD God Almighty. Fallen man is rebellious in nature. Men will do what is right in their own eyes instead of submitting to the Creator. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, everything else leads to destruction.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9, KJV)
As for all the religions, read on;
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (Romans 1:18-32, KJV)
@@Legend-mg2ry says: *you don’t know that.*
I do know that because it's a logical paradox to believe otherwise.
*There is many possibilities.*
All possibilities must be limited to what logic dictates and the universe being eternal when it has a beginning is NOT logical.
Something that has a beginning is NOT eternal.

No...logically it can't, sorry.

You're right on point, atheism is a catastrophic way of thinking.
Would you vote against a bill that would fund school lunches for all children? Are you pro union? Do you want Medicare 4 all? I'm an atheist and I want the best for the people. Am I evil?
@@--..-...-..-.--.... the point I'm making is that atheism destroys the very meaning of some values. For example, did you know that if all the world leaders decides to clear half of the population (poor masses as the main target), it might be beneficial for the planet; less pollution, less heat, the less we hear about war, food would be abundant and the land space would be doubled, animal and plant life would increase, etc. Imagine that scene, why would it be bad to do that?
If you're a literal atheist you'll see that it really doesn't matter who the heck you help and why. And I'm not trying to say that atheists are bad or anything of that nature, what I'm saying is that the world won't be a Zootopia if everyone literally adopts that idea.
Question: do you seriously believe that the BigBang and everything up until this point is all based on dice rolls
@@ikemiracle4841 I don't know about the rest of the world leaders but in the US you literally have Republicans(which have the highest number of Christian voters including the KKK) advocating to "clear out"(wink, wink) homeless people. People know the different between right and wrong but Christians have a motive to use the bible to push their agendas and believers are taught not to question anything and to blindly follow. I think that is more harmful than people understanding people need to be treated fairly. I'm mean just look at Trump supporters and qanon! They are full blown Christians and they are pure evil! The root of people acting like criminals is the corruption which leads to unaccountability and a rise is crime to due money moving up for the already rich elite instead of for building the up the middle and working class
My answer to your question: nobody knows where we can from. God or Gods or no god(s). I personally don't believe in a creator. If you do that's fine because again nobody has the answer. I do think it's disgusting when people. Believe in one religion especially when nothing can be proven to be real. Also, how can a believer disagree with a big bang? Why can't that be created by a god? It's because the church doesn't want people to listen to science and to keep the money rolling in. It's not difficult to understand if you are being honest
You're right on point, atheism is a catastrophic way of thinking.
