Thank you for making these videos! I was an atheist, lost in every way. My seeking after Christ and admitting my own need for Him has changed everything.
@@philipbarry9209 I don't have enough faith to believe that promise ;) More lives have been immensely changed for the good, and have been revealed purpose, meaning, and fulfillment through Christ than any other secular establishment. Many people have been "lost" as Christians, that's because they're either not practicing, don't care, or don't understand, which then, you can't really be called a Christian if you don't even put in any effort.
Lately I’ve been questioning my position in life… and looking back on the many jobs I’ve had… the answer seems time and time again .. that I am always driven by the same God.. no matter how powerful the evil has become and how openly it walks the planet… my childhood faith has never truly shaken… and I ask Jesus back into my heart often…
So true. As children,we did not question God's existence. We KNEW HIm. We only learned to deny God when we grew up in hubris,anger and disappointment. Denial of God is arrested emotional, psychological, intellectual and spiritual development.
@@paulbeardsley4095 Actually that is not what I was talking about. I was meaning that we are born with a sense of the numinous. The Bible puts it in better context: '“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”' (Revelation 1:8)
@@AnnabelleJARankin So you've gone from the numinous to the God of the Bible. Okay. A sense of the numinous is not in any way evidence than God exists.

What evidence is mounting for the existence of god? I’ve yet to see any evidence for a god. If there is evidence I’d love to know about it so I can believe.
I too was exactly like this man in the video and it took a few years for me to gradually come around. Reading C.S. Lewis "mere christianity"" was a good start where he talks about the innate moral values we have that evolution can not explain. What I found is that you have to open yourself to it. This man opened himself to it, he was curious. I believe if you do this, he will come into your heart but you can't be the one saying "show me proof!" Jesus is not a magic god that will appear to you in some apparition even if you want it so.
@@fredgarv79 if you don’t ask for evidence for god. Then why believe in the abrahamic god? Why none of the Hindu gods? Why not Odin or Zeus? You ABSOLUTELY need evidence. If you don’t look for evidence , you’re the type of person that will believe in anything. I was once a “born again Christian “ a long time ago. I used to be just like you and all other Christian’s on here; completely blind and believed anything the Bible said. It wasn’t until I opened my mind and started questioning everything that I realized it was bullshit.

This is awesome. Many must finally realize that Gods ways and thoughts are higher than ours and surrender to his will, through Jesus Christ. God bless all
I don't like the word "surrender" since it implies giving up who we are. God has made it so our choices are still our own while we are here and doors are made available that we can walk through if we want. Jesus would want us to spread the word of God and live a truly selfless life... not just physically but it needs to be reflected in our thoughts because that's what we bring with us after death. Once we die there can be no lies and our thoughts are available to any soul that wishes to communicate, that's why practicing while we are here is so important.
May God, in His divine grace and mercy, bless you. That you do this for people to find Christ, truly, you are one of those with a crown of gold in heaven. I will keep you in my prayers.
Awesomely phenomenal, intelligent minds who are also not slaves of sin, and who are willing to truly investigate reality are nothing short of a gift from God and were probably born to better help people understand and know God.

Woke up this morning and a voice in my head said read John 3:16, reading it answered so many questions i had, even questions i had from a dream i had the night before and I didn't even know what the scripture was going to be about. Now I'm seeing this video and i had no idea that the ending would end with that scripture in the bible which is John 3:16. I believe God drew me to this video so that everything I had read earlier this morning could be reinforced! PRAISE BE TO GOD IN JESUS' NAME AMEN!

The ancient hebrew word for ascend/rise above, as in: "I will ascend my throne above the stars of God"? עָלָה. Pronounced phonetically as 'alah.' Islam denies the deity of Christ and the events of His death and resurrection, upon which the salvation of all believers hinges. The prophecies of the islamic messiah figure, the 'mahdi' or 'twelfth imam,' match perfectly with the prophecies of the book of Revelation, except they describe the Antichrist, the 'Beast' of Revelation who will set up a false system and require all bend the knee or be beheaded, the favored method of execution for muslims. Just as the Beast will in Revelation, the 'mahdi' is predicted to establish seven years of peace with Israel, then betray them at the 3.5 year mark and begin persecuting them, among many other matching prophecies. What are one of the activities that the followers of the Beast do after the two witnesses of Revelation are murdered? They exchange gifts, a popular form of celebration among muslims when enemies of islam die or are killed. Who will accompany the 'mahdi' and assist him? Why the prophet Jesus of course, and he will 'break the cross' and convert all those foolish Christians to Islam. "And behold, I saw another Beast rise from the earth. It had two horns *like a LAMB* but spoke like a dragon." Jesus is frequently referred to as the Lamb of God. The Jesus of islamic prophecy who comes to aid the 'mahdi' is the False Prophet of Revelation. Islam is not ok. Even more than any other false religion islam is Satan's most insidious counterfeit. He uses prophecies he knows will come to pass but twists them so that when they do come to pass he will be able to deceive most of the world. He did the same when trying to tempt Jesus, using passages of scripture out of context and with twisted interpretations to try and tempt the Savior into sin. If you are trapped in this religion, get out. If you are complacent regarding it, stop. To all who read this, repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ. Place your trust in Him and He will save you from eternal separation from God. Like every other religion, islam preaches a works based salvation. Jesus taught us that He is the only way, that only His finished work on the cross can save us. 'He who has ears, let him hear!' as Jesus said. Please, I beg you, consider this all very carefully. The decision to reject or accept Jesus Christ as you only hope for salvation is the single most important decision you can possibly make. "It is appointed unto man to die once, and then to judgement." If you feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit when you read these words then God is trying to reach you, but in the end the choice is yours. We will either say to Him: "Your will be done." or He will say to us: "Your will be done." I love you. I hope to meet you in God's kingdom someday.
It’s really easy to say we are blessed to be here in a time where human well-being is the highest it has ever been. And all we had to do to get here was suffer immensely. God is a monster.

The absolute worst place atheism could have found its headquarters is science. Because you have all of these brilliant minds now asking logical rational questions and they, not getting the answers to those questions only drives them further to go deeper and ultimately the only thing they are left with that actually makes sense is God. The brilliance of God is amazing and comical in this regard.
For all who say “Christianity is unscientific” Or “Science is unchristian” You are wrong. Knowledge, learning and casting light on the dark. is entirely christian and scientific. Our greatest minds were believers not unbelievers.
Collins colluded with Fauci to push a fabricated narrative of natural covid origins - FOIA emails prove it. That's what he was pushing. Many qualified scientists reject natural origins.
@justingary5322 Its just so weird that since 2021 till now, there have been more deaths among healthy athletes, doctors & airline pilots than in the previous 30 years combined. All unexpected deaths. Its so weird how I don't know of one person who died from covid but personally know of 4 people all seemingly healthy, just die of either a heart attack or stroke. Turns out they all had a minimum of 3 boosters but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it. It must be anecdotal and unrelated. And the many others I know that have been experiencing the same thing with those around them (unvxd being okay and multiple boosters being often sick and some deaths) its just all anecdotal. It has to be because the media told us.
I do not know his heart or where he is at in his relationship with Jesus, but I find it very concerning when those evil and corrupt in character are the ones he surrounds himself with. If a professing Christian has the full approval of Gates, Fauci, and many others in the elite circle, I would really question their devotion to God. These are perhaps the most vile of men that have been given authority to exercise and carry out the globalist agenda.

@@jerrylong6238 with a little search on youtube, you can gather all the free information you could hope for, you just have to ask the right questions, and follow truth and discernment! 🙏🧐
@@jerrylong6238 Answers to Some Questions Individuals May Have 1) Why would God need blood sacrifices as an answer for sins which he already knew would happen? Answer: As God knows the end from the beginning The Son was going to come down and become a man born from a VIRGIN woman that would be implanted with the SEED from THE HOLY GHOST. When Jesus Christ was born - not only was he born for the sake of the Adam race, but as an answer to the Angels - especially the Fallen Angels. The idea of 'sacrifice' and 'sacrifices' are not just animals getting slaughtered, but when the individual would cause the animal to be slaughtered - it would be felt by the one allowing his beast to be sacrificed. The beast is slaughtered, and the one who is having his beast sacrificed feels the 'pain' of 'sacrificing' one of his best beasts. It comes with a price to the one doing the sacrifice. When the people would sacrifice to God they were to put their heart into it. And there were/are many different sacrifices that were done. So God knew beforehand that man would sin; and he knew that there would be Fallen Angels as well. With the sacrifices, the innocent beasts that were sacrificed paid the price of the one sacrificing them. When they would sacrifice many of the sacrifices required, the one sacrificing the beast would put his hand on the head of the beast as if he were transferring himself to the beast. The beast was then sacrificed. All these animal sacrifices were a 'Type' of what was going to eventually occur in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which was going to occur. When Jesus Christ was sacrificed he did it as not only as a man, but as a servant. As a Burnt Offering he wholly gave himself to his FATHER. As the TRESPASS and SIN OFFERINGS he was the ONE in which represented the Adam race: he paid the price. When he was in the process of his earthly ministry he was in complete obedience to The Father and was led by The Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself 'ALONE' on that cross - and therefore he cried out Psalm 22:1 "My God, My God Why hast Thou Forsaken Me?" The Angels nor the Prophets understood what was taking place on that cross. The Devil himself did not understand. If the Devil would have known that the Death of Jesus Christ was going to be a victory, then the Devil would have done his part in trying to influence the people to keep him alive. When Jesus Christ died, he offered himself up to God as the Burnt Offering, the Atonement Sacrifice, and all of the Sin and Trespass Offerings that were required by men. He conquered DEATH, the DEVIL, and HELL when he died, was buried, and resurrected from the dead as he foretold his disciples - and as he told the people. God was pleased with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God accepted what Jesus Christ offered for himself to God; and what Jesus Christ offered for the Adam race to God. God was pleased. The Angels, good and bad saw this. They did not know that God was going to use the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ be an answer of salvation to the Adam race of all that have been, are, and will be saved. This was God's plan unbeknownst to the Angels and unbeknownst to the Prophets foretelling of the sacrifice. The Blood Sacrifices came with a price for all that had sacrificed to God - and God also FELT the sacrifice. Now this act by the Godhead was for Angels and Man to see; and possibly any other creature that God created as well. 2) Why punish the Adam race for Adam's sin? Answer: Adam had free will just like the Angels, but fell. Unlike many Scholars and Theologians saying that we all have 'Free Will' - I have to disagree. The Children of Adam all started off with 'Sin' in their genealogy. Adam did not suffer that, but his descendants did. With The Lake of Fire and Brimstone that was prepared for The Devil and his Angels was/is also used for the unsaved individuals of the Adam race. Adam tried to cover his nakedness with palm leaves, but The Lord replaced it with 'coats of skin' - animal sacrifice, God clothed them (The Man and the Woman). With Adam's answer for his nakedness he used palm leaves to hide his nakedness. This is a kind of answer that Man may use for his actions - and it might be called, 'religion'. God's answer was 'Sacrifice'. When Man sins, it does affect God. Man's answers for his own sins does not please God, but God's answer... is the answer. In the Western World 'especially' in this day, people don't care to be 'told' or 'instructed' what to do - and to 'obey authority'. God wants obedience. The Fallen Angels with their 'Free Will' did not want to 'Obey' - and they have their destination. The Adam race does not have the 'free will', but they have the 'Sacrifice' that is accepted by God. There is a final destination with The Fallen Angels... or to be saved. To us, the 'time element' might be long - but to God - 'time' has no power over him. The people 'before' the cross had to have 'Animal Sacrifices' until Jesus Christ - and God did and does the accepting. So obedience and responsibility was/is required by the Adam race. People may not be happy about this, but God is The Creator - and he decides. 3) If Jesus is God why would he have to die, but if he really can't die? Answer: He did not die as GOD, he died as a man. As a man, he represented the Adam Race... he often referred to himself as the Son of Man (Adam). Refer to Psalm 22:1) My God, My God...why hast thou forsaken me? Before he died, he told his disciples and he even told the people that he would raise again from the dead. He did. I also believe that God cannot die. Just as Mary is the mother of the Man Jesus Christ and NOT the Mother of God - God does not have a mother. In that same thought, God cannot die, and neither The Angels. 4) Why would God act shocked that humans are going to sin even though he knew they would anyway? Even though God knew that Man would sin with and without help from The Enemy, he still felt the unpleasantness. 5) How could God be all-loving if he's going to send 75% or so of all mankind to hell? Answer: Yes, God is the one that decides. He is the one that will either Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for those that are saved or he will Not Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for their sins that are not saved. It is up to God. He knows Man better than Man knows himself. Also, God is Loving - but God is also Holy and Righteous. 6) Also, why would many of these people suffer to be born in a wrong country and/or a wrong time? Answer: Again, everything is in God's plan. In the capsule of time that God has set - every thing has its part to play. With everything that has and will occur God has a reason - and part of the reason is to be acknowledged by Angels both good and bad, and by the Adam race: saved and unsaved. This is a long answer for your questions, but hopefully you understand my answers.
I pray that Francis Collins has genuinely found Jesus. He has many amends to make, starting with his role at the NIH over some critical, recent years. Perhaps his revelation of the moral law will manifest in whistle-blower testimony that will finally reveal the truth behind the pharma complex.
I agree with your comment! The way that he handled himself under Covid is despicable in my opinion. He is a scientist that sold himself out to Big Pharma and lied to the American public about so many things. Destroying other reputable scientists and making attempts to smear them .. and to muzzle them is evil! I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who pointed out how he failed to live out his faith… at a time when it really mattered.
God warned: 1. "Apart from me there is no savior." 2. "You shall have no other gods other than me". 3. "God is not a man." 4. "The LORD is one." Jesus cannot be the messiah- God specifically warned against worshiping false saviors such as Jesus! "Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior." Isaiah 43:10 "Thou shalt know no God but me, for there is no savior other than me." Hosea 13:4 "I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." Isaiah 45:5 “You shall have no other gods other than me". Exodus 20:2 and Deuteronomy 5:6 "I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God." Isaiah 44:6 "God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind." Numbers 23:19 "For I am God and not a man." Hosea 11:9

First cause argument/Unmoved mover/prime mover argument. And why it fails Syllogistically it goes - everything that exists is in motion - everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else - something must have existed without a cause - we call this prime mover/ first cause/ unmoved mover God - Therefore God exists Firstly it an argument from special pleading - - It tries to say something must have existed without a cause Which is just special pleading. It violates it's own premise (premise 2) which says - Everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else. It's also an equivocation fallacy - We have no way to confirm a beginning of the universe and it comes down to what definition of the word "universe" we're talking about. If we're using the scientific definition that being "all matter, space and time" then YES it's accurate to say the universe began at the big bang, but.... If we're using the colloquial definition of "universe" that being "everything that exists, has existed and will exist" then NO it is inaccurate to say the big bang was the beginning of the universe And here's why Because the understanding that there was a beginning (in the colloquial sense) is based on general relativity and we know general relativity is not right because it's not compatible with quantum mechanics, so we have a prediction that the universe "began" based of a theory we can't trust. So we also have a false premise.

I've always also been very curious, and very much into science. Let me assure you, there is plenty of evidence to confidently place your faith in God. Not only that, but I would argue against some of the things this Dr. Collins has said, because there is building evidence for a young earth/universe, as per Genesis, rather than an ancient earth/universe which sounds like what Dr. Collins espouses, which would not only fly in the face of Genesis, but would really tear at the fabric of the theology of the Bible.

Like most ppl actively ignore things like them (their awarness point) being outside of the body. Sometimes it takes years of simple explanations, when the finakly accept and say: "yes, i think i´ve been outside of the body". Next thing. This who have psychic abilities are silent (for a good reason), Those (evil ones) who currently control this reality talk about this left-and-right (lightworkers), injecting somuch crap, that slowly waking up soul will not have time to see the real truth. And he is probably incarnating back to here out of stupidity/deception. Those who can stand current level of EM-noise taht is used to dumb us down and still have some psychic abilities either join dark side or become targeted,trtred...
I walked away from Catholicism for personal reasons but I've always respected Dr. Francis Collins. I think he represents the ultimate harmony between science and Christianity. When Christians deny science, and non-Christians deny Christianity, and both say are incompatible, I point to Dr. Collins as an example that these two things are not in conflict.
Answers to Some Questions Individuals May Have 1) Why would God need blood sacrifices as an answer for sins which he already knew would happen? Answer: As God knows the end from the beginning The Son was going to come down and become a man born from a VIRGIN woman that would be implanted with the SEED from THE HOLY GHOST. When Jesus Christ was born - not only was he born for the sake of the Adam race, but as an answer to the Angels - especially the Fallen Angels. The idea of 'sacrifice' and 'sacrifices' are not just animals getting slaughtered, but when the individual would cause the animal to be slaughtered - it would be felt by the one allowing his beast to be sacrificed. The beast is slaughtered, and the one who is having his beast sacrificed feels the 'pain' of 'sacrificing' one of his best beasts. It comes with a price to the one doing the sacrifice. When the people would sacrifice to God they were to put their heart into it. And there were/are many different sacrifices that were done. So God knew beforehand that man would sin; and he knew that there would be Fallen Angels as well. With the sacrifices, the innocent beasts that were sacrificed paid the price of the one sacrificing them. When they would sacrifice many of the sacrifices required, the one sacrificing the beast would put his hand on the head of the beast as if he were transferring himself to the beast. The beast was then sacrificed. All these animal sacrifices were a 'Type' of what was going to eventually occur in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which was going to occur. When Jesus Christ was sacrificed he did it as not only as a man, but as a servant. As a Burnt Offering he wholly gave himself to his FATHER. As the TRESPASS and SIN OFFERINGS he was the ONE in which represented the Adam race: he paid the price. When he was in the process of his earthly ministry he was in complete obedience to The Father and was led by The Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself 'ALONE' on that cross - and therefore he cried out Psalm 22:1 "My God, My God Why hast Thou Forsaken Me?" The Angels nor the Prophets understood what was taking place on that cross. The Devil himself did not understand. If the Devil would have known that the Death of Jesus Christ was going to be a victory, then the Devil would have done his part in trying to influence the people to keep him alive. When Jesus Christ died, he offered himself up to God as the Burnt Offering, the Atonement Sacrifice, and all of the Sin and Trespass Offerings that were required by men. He conquered DEATH, the DEVIL, and HELL when he died, was buried, and resurrected from the dead as he foretold his disciples - and as he told the people. God was pleased with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God accepted what Jesus Christ offered for himself to God; and what Jesus Christ offered for the Adam race to God. God was pleased. The Angels, good and bad saw this. They did not know that God was going to use the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ be an answer of salvation to the Adam race of all that have been, are, and will be saved. This was God's plan unbeknownst to the Angels and unbeknownst to the Prophets foretelling of the sacrifice. The Blood Sacrifices came with a price for all that had sacrificed to God - and God also FELT the sacrifice. Now this act by the Godhead was for Angels and Man to see; and possibly any other creature that God created as well. 2) Why punish the Adam race for Adam's sin? Answer: Adam had free will just like the Angels, but fell. Unlike many Scholars and Theologians saying that we all have 'Free Will' - I have to disagree. The Children of Adam all started off with 'Sin' in their genealogy. Adam did not suffer that, but his descendants did. With The Lake of Fire and Brimstone that was prepared for The Devil and his Angels was/is also used for the unsaved individuals of the Adam race. Adam tried to cover his nakedness with palm leaves, but The Lord replaced it with 'coats of skin' - animal sacrifice, God clothed them (The Man and the Woman). With Adam's answer for his nakedness he used palm leaves to hide his nakedness. This is a kind of answer that Man may use for his actions - and it might be called, 'religion'. God's answer was 'Sacrifice'. When Man sins, it does affect God. Man's answers for his own sins does not please God, but God's answer... is the answer. In the Western World 'especially' in this day, people don't care to be 'told' or 'instructed' what to do - and to 'obey authority'. God wants obedience. The Fallen Angels with their 'Free Will' did not want to 'Obey' - and they have their destination. The Adam race does not have the 'free will', but they have the 'Sacrifice' that is accepted by God. There is a final destination with The Fallen Angels... or to be saved. To us, the 'time element' might be long - but to God - 'time' has no power over him. The people 'before' the cross had to have 'Animal Sacrifices' until Jesus Christ - and God did and does the accepting. So obedience and responsibility was/is required by the Adam race. People may not be happy about this, but God is The Creator - and he decides. 3) If Jesus is God why would he have to die, but if he really can't die? Answer: He did not die as GOD, he died as a man. As a man, he represented the Adam Race... he often referred to himself as the Son of Man (Adam). Refer to Psalm 22:1) My God, My God...why hast thou forsaken me? Before he died, he told his disciples and he even told the people that he would raise again from the dead. He did. I also believe that God cannot die. Just as Mary is the mother of the Man Jesus Christ and NOT the Mother of God - God does not have a mother. In that same thought, God cannot die, and neither The Angels. 4) Why would God act shocked that humans are going to sin even though he knew they would anyway? Even though God knew that Man would sin with and without help from The Enemy, he still felt the unpleasantness. 5) How could God be all-loving if he's going to send 75% or so of all mankind to hell? Answer: Yes, God is the one that decides. He is the one that will either Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for those that are saved or he will Not Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for their sins that are not saved. It is up to God. He knows Man better than Man knows himself. Also, God is Loving - but God is also Holy and Righteous. 6) Also, why would many of these people suffer to be born in a wrong country and/or a wrong time? Answer: Again, everything is in God's plan. In the capsule of time that God has set - every thing has its part to play. With everything that has and will occur God has a reason - and part of the reason is to be acknowledged by Angels both good and bad, and by the Adam race: saved and unsaved. This is a long answer for your questions, but hopefully you understand my answers.

This is wonderful . Praying I can articulate the beginning of creation to humanity’s existence to our need for a savior to God sending Himself , as concise and gracefully as he does !
First cause argument/Unmoved mover/prime mover argument. And why it fails Syllogistically it goes - everything that exists is in motion - everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else - something must have existed without a cause - we call this prime mover/ first cause/ unmoved mover God - Therefore God exists Firstly it's an argument from special pleading - - It tries to say something must have existed without a cause Which is just special pleading. It violates it's own premise (premise 2) which says - Everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else. It's also an equivocation fallacy - We have no way to confirm a beginning of the universe and it comes down to what definition of the word "universe" we're talking about. If we're using the scientific definition that being "all matter, space and time" then YES it's accurate to say the universe began at the big bang, but.... If we're using the colloquial definition of "universe" that being "everything that exists, has existed and will exist" then NO it is inaccurate to say the big bang was the beginning of the universe And here's why Because the understanding that there was a beginning (in the colloquial sense) is based on general relativity and we know general relativity is not right because it's not compatible with quantum mechanics, so we have a prediction that the universe "began" based of a theory we can't trust. So we also have a false premise

I respected Collins until I saw how he handled covid. It became apparent from Fauci's emails that he and Fauci were not exactly forthcoming about the pandemic.
this is what i thought, i'm sorry, that guy has a lot to answer for...i dont care about his conversion, here in the the UK we have had Iranians "convert" and go on to try and murder an ex-partner and her children, God knows the heart but this guy and his work with the dreadful Dr Fauci caused many deaths.
It's easy to make mistakes when one has insufficient information, but one must make important decisions based on the limited data one has. Fauci has been prominent in covering up, not sure about Collins. But being wrong about one thing doesn't make one wrong about others.
I’ve had a very hard time respecting Francis Collin’s since he made caveats for abortion and tried to coerce Christian leaders to push c0vid vaccines in and among the church 😔…. I am so glad he’s come to this scientific decision about God, but my heart grieves about other ways he’s used his influence..
I love how, when faced with overwhelming evidence against it, humanism has changed from "God isn't real" To "Maybe God is real but we can't know for sure" To "Ok, ok, God is real, but he's a tyrant and and a despot". Sounds like they're running out of excuses and are dropping the facade as to why they DON'T want to believe.
I trust Francis Collins is a genuine Christian. But I have to admit I lost a lot of respect for him after how he handled the pandemic as Anthony Fauci's boss. Anyone can google to see how Collins handled things if they don't already know. But I make another point. Sometimes even sincere Christians can intentionally or unintentionally behave worse than they should. We all still struggle with sin after all. It's just that Christians serving at the highest echelons of power have their sins witnessed by a lot more people and also what they do affects a lot more people than a nobody Christian like me where only the people I know are aware of my sins or weaknesses or deficiencies or failings and the effects of my sins are more limited, though they're still sinful of course. Nevertheless that's partly why the Bible says in James 3:1: "Not many of you should become teachers [or similarly high positions], my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness."
Not sure what he did to mishandle the pandemic? Maybe I missed it? I do think President Trump mishandled it by ignoring the pandemic for more than a month after he was told to take it serious!
Exactly. He knowingly censored data and contrary opinions to mainstream C0v1D measures, and was essentially Fauci's lapdog. Christian or not, he needs to be held responsible.
@@unclejessiesrodshop8432 I completely agree. Christian or not, he needs to answer for the part he played in not only the extremely poor government reaction to the pandemic, but potentially his role in creating it.
@@cryptojihadi265 he was head of the NIH at the time (which governs over NIAID, which Fauci was head of). He worked with Fauci to suppress the voices of those doctors and experts who opposed the measures the US took to fight Covid, namely risks of mRNA vaccines and lockdowns, which we now know more about now. It is one thing to be wrong and say "hindsight is 20/20", but another to completely dismiss valid viewpoints in an important situational response.
@@cryptojihadi265 part of it, from emails that were released, was that he and Fauci lied about and tried to silence doctors during covid to promote their own narrative, which has been shown to be false.

He promoted giving shots to healthy children before thorough testing was completed. Also, he received 14 royalty payments from pharma companies. That's a conflict of interest, it's considered unethical. I genuinely hope he is a saved soul but I can't consider him a person of integrity.
The covid vaccine is so much more effective that no vaccine at all. The over 2 to 1 deaths of the non vaccinated to the vaccinated shows clearly with factual data that the vaccine is indeed much more effective than no vaccine at all. You are as wrong as you can be about the testing and research that went in to the vaccine, there was over a decade of serious study that allowed medical science to come up with the covid vaccine in such a short time.
@@RC6790Agreed. Without covid vaccines the death toll could well have been 20 million maybe more. Plus the lockdowns prevented even more deaths. My neighbour died before the vaccines were available. I think he could well have been alive if he lived longer enough to receive a covid vaccine. Vaccinnes work.
@@RC6790 Respectfully, I am aware of the data you speak of. Also, I'm aware of the depth of corruption in the pharmaceutical industry (of which I've personally experienced the result of). My comment wasn't about the data, it was about Collins' integrity. All that aside, I did appreciate this presentation.
Dr. Collins' presentation was excellent. A couple of things that intrigued me: I have not heard many cosmologists say that the universe came from nothing. They talk about different models; most say we still need to learn. Some believe the universe is past eternal and the Big Bang is just the beginning of a local universe. Hence, the claim that the universe came out of nothing understood as literal nothing, is on shaky grounds. For the same reason, we cannot say for sure what the cause was or why they supposed it was a God and not a natural phenomenon, as some cosmologists have argued. Collins just asserted this. Saying God is the first cause introduces some strange elements of the nature of this being, presumably conscious, with no physical structure, and with intentions and desires. God would have to massively improve our understanding of all to outweigh naturalistic explanations. For fine-tuning, we have heard of a math that proposes to show how unlikely it is for us to exist. One could argue that asking this is like asking; what are the odds of me winning the lottery? After winning the lottery. This could mean that chance might be a good explanation. But what if the possibilities are unreasonably small? Can the multiverse solve this? Do the people who postulate such an "unparsimonious" theory want to eliminate god from the picture at all costs from sinful or biased desires?. I must admit I do not know the background of the idea; I know that it is controversial among working cosmologists, but some say that the multiverse is something predicted by the theory that has been successful in explaining other phenomena, not imposed or built onto the theory; if this is right, then the multiverse is a reasonable postulate. But again, I have to claim ignorance on this. Then, there is the possibility of life being more adaptable to a wide range of different constants than we think of; we still need to understand how life on Earth began in the first place.
@@valerieshaver2404 It demonstrates the intelligence of human beings to derive a language that maps to *some* aspects of reality. I don't see how you can get anything else from it.

@@josephbenne3798- Collins was involved with Fauci in promoting the lockdowns and forcing vaccination. But that mistake doesn't reduce his credibility in all things.
Collins doesn't find science and religion to be at odds because he carefully compartmentalises them in his mind. He switches from one mode of thinking to another, just as it suits him. Problem is, nothing in science actually demonstrates his god is real. Science is perfectly compatible with his god being a figment of his imagination.
I think it's refreshing to see that even the so called intellectuals of the world can see the beauty of God. His creation shows his qualities so that they are undeniable.

Whenever "God" plays a role in any science you actually left the realm of reason and science and already passed through the pearly gates of pseudoscience.
@@linusloth4145 I do not operate on "blind belief" the natural constants are just what they are, a part of nature. I don't even know why I should have a problenm with that. On the other hand, the believers assumtion that some some ill-defined entity/ supernatural God which apparently is not subject to the known laws of physics, that supposingly interacts with the fabric of our reality in ways that have thus far eluded every controlled experiment ever performed in the history of science...has anything to do with anything regarding nature...THAT my friend is based on sheer blind faith.

@@derhafi Are physical constants invariable in nature? All of science is relying on that. You assume it without evidence on blind faith.

@@linusloth4145 "Are physical constants invariable in nature?" How should I know...what I know id that whatever the answer...no god proposal is playing any role here, it's physics not making stuff up..aka theology. " All of science is relying on that." does it? Science operstes on some axioms...but those are just takes as nature presents them. "You assume it without evidence on blind faith." Which part of "as nature presents them" is it that you have problems with? We obseve, we measure and we constantly get the same results....nothig is taken on faith in science, it would not be science if we did....what we have to assume (as constants in nature) is at least backes up by realty and starting from that science is done...it would change the moment we found a reason not to operate on those axioms, so far nothing of that kind has come up. They are called constan for a reason. Your God fantasy does have as much impact as any other unfounded delusion with no demonstrtable correaltion with reality. "Science cannot even predict or explain the stock market" That is not that science is there for....what next, are you going to complain that football can't predict the tides? THat would be an simular nonsensical comparison.

Those are the best arguments. I'd go one step further--never having heard him before--that language has a precise meaning, and similar paths converge to similar structures of thought and behavior that are universal among humans. Because these are all arguments my dad and I came to on our own.
The *best* arguments? Really? They're crazy bad. This makes zero sense: Although the speaker says atheism is irrational the first thing they say is that they have no conclusive evidence of a god? Isn't believe in something with no evidence irrational?? Having a spiritual hunger for something does not make it true. *"There is something instead of nothing"* - - if there was nothing we wouldn't be having this conversation. This immediately nullifies the speaker's point. The only possible state of the universe we could be having this conversation is in a universe *with* something. "The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics".... It's effective because mathematics is merely a tool we invented to describe the reality of the universe that we observed. It's accuracy is because we based it on observable properties of a numeric system that we invented. The Big Bang - The apologist in this video really needs to check their facts beyond the over simplistic misrepresentation of what science says. The way they speak about it is in the manner of an apologist, not a scientist. Although the speaker says they agree with the science, literally no scientist who supports the big bang theory says that the universe "came from nothing". What's the reality of the situation?: The "singularity" that existed, the thing that rapidly inflated to finally, after millions and millions of years, resolve into the universe we know today, was not *nothing* it was *literally everything*; An unimaginable boiling mass of pure energy that contained every particle in existence today - *not* nothing, *literally everything* - albeit in a different more energetic form. It would take millennia to slow and cool into anything that would be recognisable today. Science shows it took 380,000 years for even the first Helium and Hydrogen atoms to form. "The only plausible explanation..." - This is what's known as " an argument from ignorance/, incredulity " - it's a gigantic red-flag logical fallacy. Just because something is outside of your understanding doesn't mean you get to insert your pretty theory. You could just add simply insert " aliens" or the Simulation Hypothesis into your reasoning here. "The scientific consensus seems unlikely.... Therefore it must be a god/aliens. " Furthermore: the "laws" that govern the universe are not "laws" in the sense that the speaker is using them. They are not "rules decided on" - the phrase "law of the universe" as is used in science means "observable recordable fact". The "laws" that scientists describe are really statements of observation. The "law" of gravity is just a description of it's observable properties, the effects it has on matter, as caused by the recently discovered Higgs-Boson. Now, I'm less than 4 minutes into this video, and the speaker hasn't made one truly rational/logical point - I simply don't have the time or energy to continue to debunk his every point. That said, I'd welcome any discussion of any point I've made. Life long and prosper 🖖xx
Atheism is irrational. Even if you believe in the big bang like you do you have to admit a miracle occurred because the big bang theory in itself is a miracle. So if you admit that a miracle started the earth why do you act like god is a far fetched argument for the beginning of everything? you also didn’t speak on the fine tuning of the universe theory. Most atheist even admit that’s one of the best arguments for god. Have you ever genuinely tried to pray and seek out god? Jeremiah 29:13, the Lord says, "You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Most atheists don’t want to believe in god therefore they don’t even try to seek him.

@@idealmodernsystems Just because you don't understand something, doesn't make it bad. You just don't understand it. If you did, you'd be a Christian. For sure. Because the argument is perfectly logical and consistent. Like a lot of what you said are equivocations, or don't grasp the root. Some of it is outright false. Like, what you said about mathematics. But, you'd have to study geometric proofs to understand why that is, and also why what he said about Physics makes sense. Like the thing about math, specifically, shows a woeful ability to grasp it. You're caught up in the numbers--as in the language--but not the Logos--as in what the maths describe. He's not talking about Base systems, but rather the underlying principles that are universal, and do describe real phenomena. If they didn't, we wouldn't be having this conversation, as you said. Pythagoras, interestingly said, the only real thing were numbers. But, what he meant was the thing which the number was. Which the principles of mathematics work according to how numbers interact with each other in the physical universe through their operations--which is what mathematics is, is a logic that describes and produces real results from it. That's not invented, it just is. It describes an actual phenomena. How we forgot that in ten years, is crazy. Which, is interesting because sets work according to the same logic as lines or even more complex shapes and patterns. Which, if there wasn't an inherent design in the universe, that wouldn't be.

Lewis "mere christianity"" was a good start where he talks about the innate moral values we have that evolution can not explain. What I found is that you have to open yourself to it. This man opened himself to it, he was curious. I believe if you do this, he will come into your heart but you can't be the one saying "show me proof!" Jesus is not a magic god that will appear to you in some apparition even if you want it so.
@@fredgarv79 if you don’t ask for evidence for god. Then why believe in the abrahamic god? Why none of the Hindu gods? Why not Odin or Zeus? You ABSOLUTELY need evidence. If you don’t look for evidence , you’re the type of person that will believe in anything. I was once a “born again Christian “ a long time ago. I used to be just like you and all other Christian’s on here; completely blind and believed anything the Bible said. It wasn’t until I opened my mind and started questioning everything that I realized it was bullshit.

This is awesome. Many must finally realize that Gods ways and thoughts are higher than ours and surrender to his will, through Jesus Christ. God bless all
Yes, surrender to the will of Zeus.
@@gweilospur5877 typical athiest mocking Christians because he's so offended by the existence of one true God
I don't like the word "surrender" since it implies giving up who we are. God has made it so our choices are still our own while we are here and doors are made available that we can walk through if we want. Jesus would want us to spread the word of God and live a truly selfless life... not just physically but it needs to be reflected in our thoughts because that's what we bring with us after death. Once we die there can be no lies and our thoughts are available to any soul that wishes to communicate, that's why practicing while we are here is so important.
May God, in His divine grace and mercy, bless you. That you do this for people to find Christ, truly, you are one of those with a crown of gold in heaven. I will keep you in my prayers.
Awesomely phenomenal, intelligent minds who are also not slaves of sin, and who are willing to truly investigate reality are nothing short of a gift from God and were probably born to better help people understand and know God.

Woke up this morning and a voice in my head said read John 3:16, reading it answered so many questions i had, even questions i had from a dream i had the night before and I didn't even know what the scripture was going to be about. Now I'm seeing this video and i had no idea that the ending would end with that scripture in the bible which is John 3:16. I believe God drew me to this video so that everything I had read earlier this morning could be reinforced! PRAISE BE TO GOD IN JESUS' NAME AMEN!

Yeah the lord Allah is amazing for creating the world!!!
The ancient hebrew word for ascend/rise above, as in: "I will ascend my throne above the stars of God"? עָלָה. Pronounced phonetically as 'alah.' Islam denies the deity of Christ and the events of His death and resurrection, upon which the salvation of all believers hinges. The prophecies of the islamic messiah figure, the 'mahdi' or 'twelfth imam,' match perfectly with the prophecies of the book of Revelation, except they describe the Antichrist, the 'Beast' of Revelation who will set up a false system and require all bend the knee or be beheaded, the favored method of execution for muslims. Just as the Beast will in Revelation, the 'mahdi' is predicted to establish seven years of peace with Israel, then betray them at the 3.5 year mark and begin persecuting them, among many other matching prophecies. What are one of the activities that the followers of the Beast do after the two witnesses of Revelation are murdered? They exchange gifts, a popular form of celebration among muslims when enemies of islam die or are killed. Who will accompany the 'mahdi' and assist him? Why the prophet Jesus of course, and he will 'break the cross' and convert all those foolish Christians to Islam. "And behold, I saw another Beast rise from the earth. It had two horns *like a LAMB* but spoke like a dragon." Jesus is frequently referred to as the Lamb of God. The Jesus of islamic prophecy who comes to aid the 'mahdi' is the False Prophet of Revelation.
Islam is not ok. Even more than any other false religion islam is Satan's most insidious counterfeit. He uses prophecies he knows will come to pass but twists them so that when they do come to pass he will be able to deceive most of the world. He did the same when trying to tempt Jesus, using passages of scripture out of context and with twisted interpretations to try and tempt the Savior into sin. If you are trapped in this religion, get out. If you are complacent regarding it, stop. To all who read this, repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ. Place your trust in Him and He will save you from eternal separation from God. Like every other religion, islam preaches a works based salvation. Jesus taught us that He is the only way, that only His finished work on the cross can save us. 'He who has ears, let him hear!' as Jesus said. Please, I beg you, consider this all very carefully. The decision to reject or accept Jesus Christ as you only hope for salvation is the single most important decision you can possibly make. "It is appointed unto man to die once, and then to judgement." If you feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit when you read these words then God is trying to reach you, but in the end the choice is yours. We will either say to Him: "Your will be done." or He will say to us: "Your will be done." I love you. I hope to meet you in God's kingdom someday.

The absolute worst place atheism could have found its headquarters is science. Because you have all of these brilliant minds now asking logical rational questions and they, not getting the answers to those questions only drives them further to go deeper and ultimately the only thing they are left with that actually makes sense is God. The brilliance of God is amazing and comical in this regard.

Francis Collins pushed the vax so hard, I feel he lost his way. Thank God He forgives us all.
@justingary5322 you actually think those vaccines saved lives?? Wow. I can't believe some still buy that lie.
Collins colluded with Fauci to push a fabricated narrative of natural covid origins - FOIA emails prove it. That's what he was pushing. Many qualified scientists reject natural origins.
@justingary5322 Its just so weird that since 2021 till now, there have been more deaths among healthy athletes, doctors & airline pilots than in the previous 30 years combined. All unexpected deaths. Its so weird how I don't know of one person who died from covid but personally know of 4 people all seemingly healthy, just die of either a heart attack or stroke. Turns out they all had a minimum of 3 boosters but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it. It must be anecdotal and unrelated. And the many others I know that have been experiencing the same thing with those around them (unvxd being okay and multiple boosters being often sick and some deaths) its just all anecdotal. It has to be because the media told us.
I do not know his heart or where he is at in his relationship with Jesus, but I find it very concerning when those evil and corrupt in character are the ones he surrounds himself with. If a professing Christian has the full approval of Gates, Fauci, and many others in the elite circle, I would really question their devotion to God. These are perhaps the most vile of men that have been given authority to exercise and carry out the globalist agenda.

@@jerrylong6238 Answers to Some Questions Individuals May Have
1) Why would God need blood sacrifices as an answer for sins which he already knew would happen?
Answer: As God knows the end from the beginning The Son was going to come down and become a man born from a VIRGIN woman that would be implanted with the SEED from THE HOLY GHOST.
When Jesus Christ was born - not only was he born for the sake of the Adam race, but as an answer to the Angels - especially the Fallen Angels.
The idea of 'sacrifice' and 'sacrifices' are not just animals getting slaughtered, but when the individual would cause the animal to be slaughtered - it would be felt by the one allowing his beast to be sacrificed. The beast is slaughtered, and the one who is having his beast sacrificed feels the 'pain' of 'sacrificing' one of his best beasts. It comes with a price to the one doing the sacrifice.
When the people would sacrifice to God they were to put their heart into it. And there were/are many different sacrifices that were done.
So God knew beforehand that man would sin; and he knew that there would be Fallen Angels as well. With the sacrifices, the innocent beasts that were sacrificed paid the price of the one sacrificing them. When they would sacrifice many of the sacrifices required, the one sacrificing the beast would put his hand on the head of the beast as if he were transferring himself to the beast. The beast was then sacrificed.
All these animal sacrifices were a 'Type' of what was going to eventually occur in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which was going to occur.
When Jesus Christ was sacrificed he did it as not only as a man, but as a servant. As a Burnt Offering he wholly gave himself to his FATHER. As the TRESPASS and SIN OFFERINGS he was the ONE in which represented the Adam race: he paid the price.
When he was in the process of his earthly ministry he was in complete obedience to The Father and was led by The Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself 'ALONE' on that cross - and therefore he cried out Psalm 22:1 "My God, My God Why hast Thou Forsaken Me?"
The Angels nor the Prophets understood what was taking place on that cross. The Devil himself did not understand. If the Devil would have known that the Death of Jesus Christ was going to be a victory, then the Devil would have done his part in trying to influence the people to keep him alive.
When Jesus Christ died, he offered himself up to God as the Burnt Offering, the Atonement Sacrifice, and all of the Sin and Trespass Offerings that were required by men.
He conquered DEATH, the DEVIL, and HELL when he died, was buried, and resurrected from the dead as he foretold his disciples - and as he told the people.
God was pleased with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God accepted what Jesus Christ offered for himself to God; and what Jesus Christ offered for the Adam race to God. God was pleased.
The Angels, good and bad saw this. They did not know that God was going to use the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ be an answer of salvation to the Adam race of all that have been, are, and will be saved. This was God's plan unbeknownst to the Angels and unbeknownst to the Prophets foretelling of the sacrifice.
The Blood Sacrifices came with a price for all that had sacrificed to God - and God also FELT the sacrifice.
Now this act by the Godhead was for Angels and Man to see; and possibly any other creature that God created as well.
2) Why punish the Adam race for Adam's sin?
Answer: Adam had free will just like the Angels, but fell. Unlike many Scholars and Theologians saying that we all have 'Free Will' - I have to disagree. The Children of Adam all started off with 'Sin' in their genealogy. Adam did not suffer that, but his descendants did.
With The Lake of Fire and Brimstone that was prepared for The Devil and his Angels was/is also used for the unsaved individuals of the Adam race.
Adam tried to cover his nakedness with palm leaves, but The Lord replaced it with 'coats of skin' - animal sacrifice, God clothed them (The Man and the Woman).
With Adam's answer for his nakedness he used palm leaves to hide his nakedness. This is a kind of answer that Man may use for his actions - and it might be called, 'religion'.
God's answer was 'Sacrifice'.
When Man sins, it does affect God. Man's answers for his own sins does not please God, but God's answer... is the answer.
In the Western World 'especially' in this day, people don't care to be 'told' or 'instructed' what to do - and to 'obey authority'. God wants obedience.
The Fallen Angels with their 'Free Will' did not want to 'Obey' - and they have their destination.
The Adam race does not have the 'free will', but they have the 'Sacrifice' that is accepted by God. There is a final destination with The Fallen Angels... or to be saved.
To us, the 'time element' might be long - but to God - 'time' has no power over him.
The people 'before' the cross had to have 'Animal Sacrifices' until Jesus Christ - and God did and does the accepting.
So obedience and responsibility was/is required by the Adam race. People may not be happy about this, but God is The Creator - and he decides.
3) If Jesus is God why would he have to die, but if he really can't die?
Answer: He did not die as GOD, he died as a man. As a man, he represented the Adam Race... he often referred to himself as the Son of Man (Adam). Refer to Psalm 22:1) My God, My God...why hast thou forsaken me?
Before he died, he told his disciples and he even told the people that he would raise again from the dead. He did.
I also believe that God cannot die. Just as Mary is the mother of the Man Jesus Christ and NOT the Mother of God - God does not have a mother. In that same thought, God cannot die, and neither The Angels.
4) Why would God act shocked that humans are going to sin even though he knew they would anyway?
Even though God knew that Man would sin with and without help from The Enemy, he still felt the unpleasantness.
5) How could God be all-loving if he's going to send 75% or so of all mankind to hell?
Answer: Yes, God is the one that decides. He is the one that will either Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for those that are saved or he will Not Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for their sins that are not saved.
It is up to God. He knows Man better than Man knows himself. Also, God is Loving - but God is also Holy and Righteous.
6) Also, why would many of these people suffer to be born in a wrong country and/or a wrong time?
Answer: Again, everything is in God's plan. In the capsule of time that God has set - every thing has its part to play.
With everything that has and will occur God has a reason - and part of the reason is to be acknowledged by Angels both good and bad, and by the Adam race: saved and unsaved.
This is a long answer for your questions, but hopefully you understand my answers.
I pray that Francis Collins has genuinely found Jesus. He has many amends to make, starting with his role at the NIH over some critical, recent years. Perhaps his revelation of the moral law will manifest in whistle-blower testimony that will finally reveal the truth behind the pharma complex.

1. "Apart from me there is no savior."
2. "You shall have no other gods other than me".
3. "God is not a man."
4. "The LORD is one."
Jesus cannot be the messiah-
God specifically warned against worshiping false saviors such as Jesus!
"Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior."
Isaiah 43:10
"Thou shalt know no God but me, for there is no savior other than me."
Hosea 13:4
"I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God."
Isaiah 45:5
“You shall have no other gods other than me".
Exodus 20:2 and Deuteronomy 5:6
"I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God."
Isaiah 44:6
"God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind."
Numbers 23:19
"For I am God and not a man."
Hosea 11:9
Interesting story I was hired for a bluegrass type of family event and I pieced together the musicians and went down to DC for a party on a farm and it turned out Francis Collins was there and we all jammed folk songs together.

If you want to, no one should say otherwise. See Romans 14, especially verses 5 and 6
First cause argument/Unmoved mover/prime mover argument.
And why it fails
Syllogistically it goes
- everything that exists is in motion
- everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else
- something must have existed without a cause
- we call this prime mover/ first cause/ unmoved mover God
- Therefore God exists
Firstly it an argument from special pleading -
- It tries to say something must have existed without a cause
Which is just special pleading.
It violates it's own premise (premise 2) which says
- Everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else.
It's also an equivocation fallacy -
We have no way to confirm a beginning of the universe and it comes down to what definition of the word "universe" we're talking about.
If we're using the scientific definition that being "all matter, space and time" then YES it's accurate to say the universe began at the big bang, but....
If we're using the colloquial definition of "universe" that being "everything that exists, has existed and will exist" then NO it is inaccurate to say the big bang was the beginning of the universe
And here's why
Because the understanding that there was a beginning (in the colloquial sense) is based on general relativity and we know general relativity is not right because it's not compatible with quantum mechanics, so we have a prediction that the universe "began" based of a theory we can't trust.
So we also have a false premise.
No we can't celebrate hannukah.

I love to see men that tend to be very practical and fact based, accept the truth of Jesus !!! It’s like they come to life!
there was not a single fact here. just assumptions from an ex-scientist. My advice, think for your self, dont be a sheep.
@@pinkiethesniper6630 an ex- scientist? Pretty sure he still is. Science and belief are not mutually exclusive. Lots of early scientists believed that Jesus was who he says he is (God). I think you're talking about creationist vs. Darwinian evolution. Not science and belief in a creator.
@@SavedByGrace1987 Take, for example, beliefs from centuries ago-some thought thunder and lightning were the wrath of an angry god. If we hadn't questioned this and relied solely on religious beliefs, we might still think that today. It was through scientific inquiry that we learned about the natural causes behind these phenomena, science seeking fact-based evidence, there's no room in science for "god of the gaps" arguments. No scientist in the history of mankind has made notable changes based on religion.
"Fact based"

Thank you for this video. This is an area of Christianity I really struggle with because I’m naturally a curious person. It has answer quite a few of my questions. 😅
biblical christianity is judaism, mindwash, controll. you have to go before judaism distorted eveything. go inside.
Love that!! It would also be helpful to bring those questions to God, the church, and other members of the faith so you’re not count up in incorrect doctrine or left feeling unanswered. God is happy to hear and answer our questions, bring your curiosity to Him and let Him show you more!
I've always also been very curious, and very much into science. Let me assure you, there is plenty of evidence to confidently place your faith in God. Not only that, but I would argue against some of the things this Dr. Collins has said, because there is building evidence for a young earth/universe, as per Genesis, rather than an ancient earth/universe which sounds like what Dr. Collins espouses, which would not only fly in the face of Genesis, but would really tear at the fabric of the theology of the Bible.

This argument may also be satisfied with simulation theory, but at that point you are still admiting the universe was created by some higher being.
Do YOU even understand the weak anthropic argument? You cannot deduce from it that the universe was created. I could be pure chance, it could be infinite universe, it could be whatever...

"Fine tuning" is a post-hoc rationalization. It's the puddle saying "How amazing that God made the hole to fit me so perfectly!"
there is nothing fine-tuned. it is just math. there is just one constant - ONE. Everything else is an illusion. Just symmetries playing out, interract. Everything is code. human language was crated to make ppl dumb, it has locked ppls brains in "labels". If we are in simulation - it still fillows the rules of universe. Plus: what one says "constant" is just "current environment". Math is very cyclical. Ppl are so locked into thier mindsets. Like most ppl actively ignore things like them (their awarness point) being outside of the body. Sometimes it takes years of simple explanations, when the finakly accept and say: "yes, i think i´ve been outside of the body". Next thing. This who have psychic abilities are silent (for a good reason), Those (evil ones) who currently control this reality talk about this left-and-right (lightworkers), injecting somuch crap, that slowly waking up soul will not have time to see the real truth.

I walked away from Catholicism for personal reasons but I've always respected Dr. Francis Collins. I think he represents the ultimate harmony between science and Christianity.

Answers to Some Questions Individuals May Have
1) Why would God need blood sacrifices as an answer for sins which he already knew would happen?
Answer: As God knows the end from the beginning The Son was going to come down and become a man born from a VIRGIN woman that would be implanted with the SEED from THE HOLY GHOST.
When Jesus Christ was born - not only was he born for the sake of the Adam race, but as an answer to the Angels - especially the Fallen Angels.
The idea of 'sacrifice' and 'sacrifices' are not just animals getting slaughtered, but when the individual would cause the animal to be slaughtered - it would be felt by the one allowing his beast to be sacrificed. The beast is slaughtered, and the one who is having his beast sacrificed feels the 'pain' of 'sacrificing' one of his best beasts. It comes with a price to the one doing the sacrifice.
When the people would sacrifice to God they were to put their heart into it. And there were/are many different sacrifices that were done.
So God knew beforehand that man would sin; and he knew that there would be Fallen Angels as well. With the sacrifices, the innocent beasts that were sacrificed paid the price of the one sacrificing them. When they would sacrifice many of the sacrifices required, the one sacrificing the beast would put his hand on the head of the beast as if he were transferring himself to the beast. The beast was then sacrificed.
All these animal sacrifices were a 'Type' of what was going to eventually occur in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ which was going to occur.
When Jesus Christ was sacrificed he did it as not only as a man, but as a servant. As a Burnt Offering he wholly gave himself to his FATHER. As the TRESPASS and SIN OFFERINGS he was the ONE in which represented the Adam race: he paid the price.
When he was in the process of his earthly ministry he was in complete obedience to The Father and was led by The Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ sacrificed himself 'ALONE' on that cross - and therefore he cried out Psalm 22:1 "My God, My God Why hast Thou Forsaken Me?"
The Angels nor the Prophets understood what was taking place on that cross. The Devil himself did not understand. If the Devil would have known that the Death of Jesus Christ was going to be a victory, then the Devil would have done his part in trying to influence the people to keep him alive.
When Jesus Christ died, he offered himself up to God as the Burnt Offering, the Atonement Sacrifice, and all of the Sin and Trespass Offerings that were required by men.
He conquered DEATH, the DEVIL, and HELL when he died, was buried, and resurrected from the dead as he foretold his disciples - and as he told the people.
God was pleased with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God accepted what Jesus Christ offered for himself to God; and what Jesus Christ offered for the Adam race to God. God was pleased.
The Angels, good and bad saw this. They did not know that God was going to use the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ be an answer of salvation to the Adam race of all that have been, are, and will be saved. This was God's plan unbeknownst to the Angels and unbeknownst to the Prophets foretelling of the sacrifice.
The Blood Sacrifices came with a price for all that had sacrificed to God - and God also FELT the sacrifice.
Now this act by the Godhead was for Angels and Man to see; and possibly any other creature that God created as well.
2) Why punish the Adam race for Adam's sin?
Answer: Adam had free will just like the Angels, but fell. Unlike many Scholars and Theologians saying that we all have 'Free Will' - I have to disagree. The Children of Adam all started off with 'Sin' in their genealogy. Adam did not suffer that, but his descendants did.
With The Lake of Fire and Brimstone that was prepared for The Devil and his Angels was/is also used for the unsaved individuals of the Adam race.
Adam tried to cover his nakedness with palm leaves, but The Lord replaced it with 'coats of skin' - animal sacrifice, God clothed them (The Man and the Woman).
With Adam's answer for his nakedness he used palm leaves to hide his nakedness. This is a kind of answer that Man may use for his actions - and it might be called, 'religion'.
God's answer was 'Sacrifice'.
When Man sins, it does affect God. Man's answers for his own sins does not please God, but God's answer... is the answer.
In the Western World 'especially' in this day, people don't care to be 'told' or 'instructed' what to do - and to 'obey authority'. God wants obedience.
The Fallen Angels with their 'Free Will' did not want to 'Obey' - and they have their destination.
The Adam race does not have the 'free will', but they have the 'Sacrifice' that is accepted by God. There is a final destination with The Fallen Angels... or to be saved.
To us, the 'time element' might be long - but to God - 'time' has no power over him.
The people 'before' the cross had to have 'Animal Sacrifices' until Jesus Christ - and God did and does the accepting.
So obedience and responsibility was/is required by the Adam race. People may not be happy about this, but God is The Creator - and he decides.
3) If Jesus is God why would he have to die, but if he really can't die?
Answer: He did not die as GOD, he died as a man. As a man, he represented the Adam Race... he often referred to himself as the Son of Man (Adam). Refer to Psalm 22:1) My God, My God...why hast thou forsaken me?
Before he died, he told his disciples and he even told the people that he would raise again from the dead. He did.
I also believe that God cannot die. Just as Mary is the mother of the Man Jesus Christ and NOT the Mother of God - God does not have a mother. In that same thought, God cannot die, and neither The Angels.
4) Why would God act shocked that humans are going to sin even though he knew they would anyway?
Even though God knew that Man would sin with and without help from The Enemy, he still felt the unpleasantness.
5) How could God be all-loving if he's going to send 75% or so of all mankind to hell?
Answer: Yes, God is the one that decides. He is the one that will either Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for those that are saved or he will Not Accept the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for their sins that are not saved.
It is up to God. He knows Man better than Man knows himself. Also, God is Loving - but God is also Holy and Righteous.
6) Also, why would many of these people suffer to be born in a wrong country and/or a wrong time?
Answer: Again, everything is in God's plan. In the capsule of time that God has set - every thing has its part to play.
With everything that has and will occur God has a reason - and part of the reason is to be acknowledged by Angels both good and bad, and by the Adam race: saved and unsaved.

This is wonderful . Praying I can articulate the beginning of creation to humanity’s existence to our need for a savior to God sending Himself , as concise and gracefully as he does !
First cause argument/Unmoved mover/prime mover argument.
And why it fails
Syllogistically it goes
- everything that exists is in motion
- everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else
- something must have existed without a cause
- we call this prime mover/ first cause/ unmoved mover God
- Therefore God exists
Firstly it's an argument from special pleading -
- It tries to say something must have existed without a cause
Which is just special pleading.
It violates it's own premise (premise 2) which says
- Everything in motion is caused to be in motion by something else.
It's also an equivocation fallacy -
We have no way to confirm a beginning of the universe and it comes down to what definition of the word "universe" we're talking about.
If we're using the scientific definition that being "all matter, space and time" then YES it's accurate to say the universe began at the big bang, but....
If we're using the colloquial definition of "universe" that being "everything that exists, has existed and will exist" then NO it is inaccurate to say the big bang was the beginning of the universe
And here's why
Because the understanding that there was a beginning (in the colloquial sense) is based on general relativity and we know general relativity is not right because it's not compatible with quantum mechanics, so we have a prediction that the universe "began" based of a theory we can't trust.
So we also have a false premise

@@jimhughes1070 This is more than falling short. He committed crimes against humanity with his lockdowns and vaccine recommendations. Much worse.
It's easy to make mistakes when one has insufficient information, but one must make important decisions based on the limited data one has. Fauci has been prominent in covering up, not sure about Collins. But being wrong about one thing doesn't make one wrong about others.
He's a human just like the rest of us. It sucks that the flaws were so major, but the flaws were gonna be there

I wish he had been more of a believer and even a scientist through the pandemic..
you dont want to be brainwashed. But you might enjoy metaphysics...since its 50/50...and 100% truth...
I trust Francis Collins is a genuine Christian. But I have to admit I lost a lot of respect for him after how he handled the pandemic as Anthony Fauci's boss. Anyone can google to see how Collins handled things if they don't already know. But I make another point. Sometimes even sincere Christians can intentionally or unintentionally behave worse than they should. We all still struggle with sin after all. It's just that Christians serving at the highest echelons of power have their sins witnessed by a lot more people and also what they do affects a lot more people than a nobody Christian like me where only the people I know are aware of my sins or weaknesses or deficiencies or failings and the effects of my sins are more limited, though they're still sinful of course. Nevertheless that's partly why the Bible says in James 3:1: "Not many of you should become teachers [or similarly high positions], my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness."
He should be on trial with his life on the line.
Not sure what he did to mishandle the pandemic? Maybe I missed it? I do think President Trump mishandled it by ignoring the pandemic for more than a month after he was told to take it serious!
Exactly. He knowingly censored data and contrary opinions to mainstream C0v1D measures, and was essentially Fauci's lapdog. Christian or not, he needs to be held responsible.
@@unclejessiesrodshop8432 I completely agree. Christian or not, he needs to answer for the part he played in not only the extremely poor government reaction to the pandemic, but potentially his role in creating it.

He promoted giving shots to healthy children before thorough testing was completed. Also, he received 14 royalty payments from pharma companies. That's a conflict of interest, it's considered unethical. I genuinely hope he is a saved soul but I can't consider him a person of integrity.
Collins is NOT a Christian. His views on Creation are at complete odds with what Jesus said.
The covid vaccine is so much more effective that no vaccine at all. The over 2 to 1 deaths of the non vaccinated to the vaccinated shows clearly with factual data that the vaccine is indeed much more effective than no vaccine at all. You are as wrong as you can be about the testing and research that went in to the vaccine, there was over a decade of serious study that allowed medical science to come up with the covid vaccine in such a short time.
@@RC6790 Collins colluded with Fauci to cover up covid origins.
@@RC6790Agreed. Without covid vaccines the death toll could well have been 20 million maybe more. Plus the lockdowns prevented even more deaths. My neighbour died before the vaccines were available.

@@RC6790 Respectfully, I am aware of the data you speak of. Also, I'm aware of the depth of corruption in the pharmaceutical industry (of which I've personally experienced the result of). My comment wasn't about the data, it was about Collins' integrity. All that aside, I did appreciate this presentation.
Hello Magnun, I really like your channel! Top content, thanks for sharing it with us!
Dr. Collins' presentation was excellent. A couple of things that intrigued me:
I have not heard many cosmologists say that the universe came from nothing. They talk about different models; most say we still need to learn. Some believe the universe is past eternal and the Big Bang is just the beginning of a local universe. Hence, the claim that the universe came out of nothing understood as literal nothing, is on shaky grounds. For the same reason, we cannot say for sure what the cause was or why they supposed it was a God and not a natural phenomenon, as some cosmologists have argued. Collins just asserted this. Saying God is the first cause introduces some strange elements of the nature of this being, presumably conscious, with no physical structure, and with intentions and desires. God would have to massively improve our understanding of all to outweigh naturalistic explanations.
For fine-tuning, we have heard of a math that proposes to show how unlikely it is for us to exist. One could argue that asking this is like asking; what are the odds of me winning the lottery? After winning the lottery. This could mean that chance might be a good explanation. But what if the possibilities are unreasonably small? Can the multiverse solve this? Do the people who postulate such an "unparsimonious" theory want to eliminate god from the picture at all costs from sinful or biased desires?. I must admit I do not know the background of the idea; I know that it is controversial among working cosmologists, but some say that the multiverse is something predicted by the theory that has been successful in explaining other phenomena, not imposed or built onto the theory; if this is right, then the multiverse is a reasonable postulate. But again, I have to claim ignorance on this. Then, there is the possibility of life being more adaptable to a wide range of different constants than we think of; we still need to understand how life on Earth began in the first place.
Ain't that just fantastic when you find God...thank you for the video. 🙏
What you are saying sounds good, but I would say, rather, we do not find Christ; Christ calls us toward Him an innumerable ways via His love.

Collins doesn't find science and religion to be at odds because he carefully compartmentalises them in his mind. He switches from one mode of thinking to another, just as it suits him. Problem is, nothing in science actually demonstrates his god is real. Science is perfectly compatible with his god being a figment of his imagination.

@@linusloth4145 I do not operate on "blind belief" the natural constants are just what they are, a part of nature. I don't even know why I should have a problenm with that.
On the other hand, the believers assumtion that some some ill-defined entity/ supernatural God which apparently is not subject to the known laws of physics, that supposingly interacts with the fabric of our reality in ways that have thus far eluded every controlled experiment ever performed in the history of science...has anything to do with anything regarding nature...THAT my friend is based on sheer blind faith.
I can see why you wish for some substance for your convictions but....not like this, it's just not going to happen with wishful thinking, wils assumtions and faith.
@@derhafi Are physical constants invariable in nature? All of science is relying on that. You assume it without evidence on blind faith.
Science cannot even predict or explain the stock market which is not a supernatural thing. If science is even limited in its explanatory power on physical human things who can you ascribe explanatory power to science about non-physical things?
@@linusloth4145 "Are physical constants invariable in nature?" How should I know...what I know id that whatever the answer...no god proposal is playing any role here, it's physics not making stuff up..aka theology.
" All of science is relying on that." does it? Science operstes on some axioms...but those are just takes as nature presents them.
"You assume it without evidence on blind faith." Which part of "as nature presents them" is it that you have problems with? We obseve, we measure and we constantly get the same results....nothig is taken on faith in science, it would not be science if we did....what we have to assume (as constants in nature) is at least backes up by realty and starting from that science is done...it would change the moment we found a reason not to operate on those axioms, so far nothing of that kind has come up. They are called constan for a reason.
Your God fantasy does have as much impact as any other unfounded delusion with no demonstrtable correaltion with reality.
"Science cannot even predict or explain the stock market" That is not that science is there for....what next, are you going to complain that football can't predict the tides? THat would be an simular nonsensical comparison.
" If science is even limited in its explanatory power on physical human things who can you ascribe explanatory power to science about non-physical things?" psychology and all kinds of behavioral scientist do a great job. Amongst others they perfectly explain why so many peole have this adherence toward ancient mythology, as displayed by you here.
So, in conclusion...you seem to have no point to make.
Those are the best arguments. I'd go one step further--never having heard him before--that language has a precise meaning, and similar paths converge to similar structures of thought and behavior that are universal among humans. Because these are all arguments my dad and I came to on our own.
The *best* arguments? Really? They're crazy bad.
This makes zero sense: Although the speaker says atheism is irrational the first thing they say is that they have no conclusive evidence of a god? Isn't believe in something with no evidence irrational??
Having a spiritual hunger for something does not make it true.
*"There is something instead of nothing"* - - if there was nothing we wouldn't be having this conversation. This immediately nullifies the speaker's point. The only possible state of the universe we could be having this conversation is in a universe *with* something.
"The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics".... It's effective because mathematics is merely a tool we invented to describe the reality of the universe that we observed. It's accuracy is because we based it on observable properties of a numeric system that we invented.
The Big Bang - The apologist in this video really needs to check their facts beyond the over simplistic misrepresentation of what science says. The way they speak about it is in the manner of an apologist, not a scientist. Although the speaker says they agree with the science, literally no scientist who supports the big bang theory says that the universe "came from nothing".
What's the reality of the situation?: The "singularity" that existed, the thing that rapidly inflated to finally, after millions and millions of years, resolve into the universe we know today, was not *nothing* it was *literally everything*; An unimaginable boiling mass of pure energy that contained every particle in existence today - *not* nothing, *literally everything* - albeit in a different more energetic form. It would take millennia to slow and cool into anything that would be recognisable today. Science shows it took 380,000 years for even the first Helium and Hydrogen atoms to form.
"The only plausible explanation..." - This is what's known as " an argument from ignorance/, incredulity " - it's a gigantic red-flag logical fallacy. Just because something is outside of your understanding doesn't mean you get to insert your pretty theory. You could just add simply insert " aliens" or the Simulation Hypothesis into your reasoning here. "The scientific consensus seems unlikely.... Therefore it must be a god/aliens. "
Furthermore: the "laws" that govern the universe are not "laws" in the sense that the speaker is using them. They are not "rules decided on" - the phrase "law of the universe" as is used in science means "observable recordable fact".
The "laws" that scientists describe are really statements of observation. The "law" of gravity is just a description of it's observable properties, the effects it has on matter, as caused by the recently discovered Higgs-Boson.
Now, I'm less than 4 minutes into this video, and the speaker hasn't made one truly rational/logical point - I simply don't have the time or energy to continue to debunk his every point.
That said, I'd welcome any discussion of any point I've made.
Life long and prosper 🖖xx
Atheism is irrational. Even if you believe in the big bang like you do you have to admit a miracle occurred because the big bang theory in itself is a miracle. So if you admit that a miracle started the earth why do you act like god is a far fetched argument for the beginning of everything? you also didn’t speak on the fine tuning of the universe theory. Most atheist even admit that’s one of the best arguments for god.
Have you ever genuinely tried to pray and seek out god?
Jeremiah 29:13, the Lord says, "You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart."
Matthew 7:7-8
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Most atheists don’t want to believe in god therefore they don’t even try to seek him.
@@idealmodernsystems And I don't have the time or energy to debunk your points. But I will pray for God to give you a new heart and a new spirit so you can know him. God bless you.
@@idealmodernsystems Just because you don't understand something, doesn't make it bad. You just don't understand it. If you did, you'd be a Christian. For sure. Because the argument is perfectly logical and consistent.
Like a lot of what you said are equivocations, or don't grasp the root. Some of it is outright false. Like, what you said about mathematics. But, you'd have to study geometric proofs to understand why that is, and also why what he said about Physics makes sense.
Like the thing about math, specifically, shows a woeful ability to grasp it. You're caught up in the numbers--as in the language--but not the Logos--as in what the maths describe. He's not talking about Base systems, but rather the underlying principles that are universal, and do describe real phenomena. If they didn't, we wouldn't be having this conversation, as you said.
Pythagoras, interestingly said, the only real thing were numbers. But, what he meant was the thing which the number was. Which the principles of mathematics work according to how numbers interact with each other in the physical universe through their operations--which is what mathematics is, is a logic that describes and produces real results from it. That's not invented, it just is. It describes an actual phenomena. How we forgot that in ten years, is crazy. Which, is interesting because sets work according to the same logic as lines or even more complex shapes and patterns. Which, if there wasn't an inherent design in the universe, that wouldn't be.
@@idealmodernsystems,
Where are you published?
Thanks for playing.
Thank you so much for making this video. God bless
Hallelujah Praise Jesus the Great Physician Amen
It’s such a shame that he betrayed the church on COVID lockdowns.
Such a shame that the Christians bowed to the almighty government and Satan and forsaked going to church during that time.
@@warrennyDr. Collins used his clout amongst Christians to convince many pastors to close their doors. The pastor of my own church cited the advice of Dr. Collins as trustworthy and reliable on the topic of COVID. My pastor closed down in person services based on this advice.
Betrayed the church? Bowed to satan? Sounds like whining.
@ae9545eyes wide shut I see.
The best Evidence for God is water always being level
Excellent scriptures you mentioned . Very powerful !
Amazing! Thank you. 🙏
