- John Lennox delivers a powerful presentation on the existence of God and the absurdity of Atheism. Best of all, he brings the topic right down to the place where the shadow of the cross falls on an empty tomb. To the mystery of mysteries & the Hope of Glory!
Original media from Oxford Press can be found here: • Professor John Lennox ...

My grandfather was a physicist who didn’t believe in God. He seemingly had a rational scientific explanation for everything. As he got older he shared with me that the more he tried to disprove the existence of God the more evident it became to him that God exists. In his final days he took solace in the fact that through his younger years of trying to disprove or explain away the devine God he actually proved his existence. Once he retired sometimes I would see him sitting for hours upon hours reading and studying the Bible when I would go visit him and my grandmother. He wanted to learn all he could about his creator. He would try to read anything he could get his hands on pertaining to Jesus Christ. His prayers were very important to him.
He was always a kind and funny person, but I noticed over the years after he found God he had this spark of life in him and he appreciated the nuances of life more. The man went to his grave baptized and a firm believer in God and his only begotten son. His life's journey had taken him home back to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All praise be to God the Almighty, through him all things are possible.
I love this ❤
I really like what you wrote, so much so that I felt obliged to say "thank you" and that it pleases me to know that you obviously have learned from your grandfather.
This is such a beautiful expression of a life lived well.
This is an amazing testimony!! Your grandfather and your family (including you) was and is very blessed, God is truly great.
My his soul rest in peace
I'm struggling with life at this moment but what keeps me going is GOD.
Amen, May God continue to give you strength and guidance. 🙏🏼
What really helped me bro is accepting that I can only control things that are within my control, and things that are outside my control, are within God’s control.
We all struggle with life at some point, what is important to remember God will only allow struggles in our lives so far, and only for a season.
Stay strong in The Lord my brother, His redemption draws near.
" the fear keeps me moving but my heart beats so slow"
Which one?
amen
I am an ex Muslim and we blieved Jesus was only a prophet but years ago Jesus appeared to me and He is the living GOD. He was all love and love for His creation is emmerse.He saved me . He is the ONLY way and Truth. He is the only solution for humanbeing misery. Beleive in Him follow Him and He saves you to the eternal life. No religion can save your soul and take you to heaven ONLY JESUS CAN . Amen
Amen brother
God bless
@@mohamadabnasad9963 god bless you brother
Did you ask him to appear before you ? Can you please tell us what he told you ?
Heavy on the NO RELIGION just Jesus Christ
Praise God, what a great testimony you have! Seeing comments like this warms my heart, I was raised in church from a young age and turned away from God and the teachings of Jesus Christ, it was once my life fell apart I went back to Jesus ashamed of my mistakes and he welcomed me back with open arms. God bless brother, I can only pray to share the same grace and forgiveness to others as Jesus has shown unto me
I will never tire of his testimony. Brilliance by the hand of God and through a genuine relationship with Him.
Theology is belief without evidence. I think it’s ridiculous
My husband really liked that piece he heard me listening and wanted to know can he see it and there it is… although he is a Believer, as am I, we are always in love with the word of God pushing through and bend our ear towards it. So keep it coming Brandon!!
What of this was the most convincing to you?
@@lookilookibuthearingtooi what of this was most convincing to you to deny the LORD.
This is what a University should be! The open and unabashed exchange of ideas! This is how we learn and grow as a Peoples!
This is religion and not science. Universities deal with science and not with beliefs and superstitions.
@@giuseppe5397 universities were started by the Catholic Church in the West. The first discoveries in science were done by religious scholars and priest. The BigBang theory was developed by a Catholic priest. Harvard was started as a seminary and religious school. Oxford too!
Your silly superstitious nonsense in no way belongs in the classroom. School is for education, not faith and fables.
@@ShirleyTimple schools in modern times is to indoctrinate children into the liberal atheist mindset. It would be better that they were taught both actual science and Faith. They aren’t incompatible. Science and faith both come from God. Just because you are angry at God and don’t want to come to terms with your sin and be judged for it shouldn’t be the basis for schools.
@@Longinus5555 If you really like the history of science, you should know that every scientist who dared to deny the dogmas of the church through science was persecuted and tortured by the holy enquiry. I'll give you an example, Galileo with the heliocentrism theory
ThankYou. This is the most amazingly beautiful detailed picture of what I believe with all my heart. It be easy to be angry at God but if it weren’t for His presence in my life I would have no hope. My only 2 children have passed away. My youngest daughter was 7 when she passed away from leukemia. My oldest daughter passed away from complications of being a premie in 1967 and needing open heart surgery. My belief has promised that I will be with my Daughters again. Praise to the Lord Jesus Christ my savior.
I'm can't explain why everytime I doubt my beliefs being a Cristian, talks that I need like this comes out from nowhere. And it's like a punch to my face. My heart felt loved and makes me hold on to my faith firmly again. I guess this is how Jesus shows his love for me. My brothers do you feel like I do? I suppose I'm not the only one feeling this. God bless us all!
yeah, you're not the only one who's feeling like that. we're on the same boat, brother 🙏
@TheUselessStone I'm glad to hear that brother. God Bless you! 🙏
I just want you to know that your channel and specifically this video may have just led to me getting saved. I’ve had a lot of personal revelations happen over the past year or two. It’s way too long to type, but I eventually ended up here watching your videos for the past month. This video just rocked me. Haha
Edit: I wanted to share an update for everyone as this comment got a ton of unexpected attention. I gave my life over to Jesus again about a month after I posted this and have been a part of a bible study group since January 1. It’s truly amazing and personally unbelievable how much my life has changed for the better. As a former staunch atheist just months before this original comment, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life ❤️
Glory Be To God!! He loves you so much ❤️
Romans 10:9 - "...that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you WILL be saved."
Godhead
The first article of faith of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints states, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.” These three beings make up the Godhead. They preside over this world and all other creations of our Father in Heaven. Latter-day Saints view the members of the Godhead in a manner that corresponds in a number of ways with the views of others in the Christian world, but with significant differences. Latter-day Saints pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge the Father as the ultimate object of their worship, the Son as Lord and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. But where Latter-day Saints differ from other Christian religions is in their belief that God and Jesus Christ are glorified, physical beings and that each member of the Godhead is a separate being. The true doctrine of the Godhead was lost in the apostasy that followed the Savior’s mortal ministry and the deaths of His Apostles. This doctrine began to be restored when 14-year-old Joseph Smith received his First Vision (see Joseph Smith-History 1:17). From the Prophet’s account of the First Vision and from his other teachings, we know that the members of the Godhead are three separate beings. The Father and the Son have tangible bodies of flesh and bones, and the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit (see Doctrine and Covenants 130:22). Although the members of the Godhead are distinct beings with distinct roles, they are one in purpose and doctrine. They are perfectly united in bringing to pass Heavenly Father’s divine plan of salvation.
@@GregFessia You just ruined this reply with your demonic religion.
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD .IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR FAITH PRAY READ THE WORD.EVERY DAY.FIND A CHURCH WITH PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE TO BE THE WORD OF GOD.GOD BLESS YOU.
I was born into a Muslim family and it was forced upon me. I never felt a connection to God. Never felt my soul being loved by God. Lost all faith in religion and adopted the mantra "do good be good" and still felt empty. I was beyond discouraged but I still believed there was a God. I believe in him because of how I got my name.
My parents went to get a pregnancy check up on me and it didnt go as planned. They wanted to run some more tests but some tests came back with news that one of three things would happen (I cant remember which one): I would be born with a hole in my heart, I would be born with scoliosis, or I would be born mentality handicapped and would need help my whole life.
Of course my parents where distraught and worried about their future child. My dad left the room to let my mom get some sleep and as she was sleeping, she heard someone call her name. She wakes up and looks around and doesnt see anyone. So she starts to relax and almost falls asleep again. She hears her name being called again. This time she shot up and was like ok maybe im just exhausted and anxious and im hallucinating because no one is here. Once again she starts to relax again and almost falls asleep and she said she heard "Amy. You will have a healthy baby boy and you will name him Jibril." This name has protected me during 9/11 because i was supposed to be named Hussein.
God has lead me to the path of salvation through suffering and even being disowned by them, he was guiding me to live according to his plan. I have never felt so spiritually, physically, and emotionally full until i accepted Jesus Christ this year. God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Then you need to research deeper into Islam because Islam is the only truth.
I think you accept islam. This religión is soo true. God is not person. He is not theory. He is Creator.
And you may search extra infos
So you changed one bias for another
As St Thomas Aquinas said: ‘Those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. Those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible’!
See my earlier comment - I was not aware of this quote but it is spot on. My question therefore is ‘why do so many believers, the speaker in this video included, feel the need to convince non-believers that their deity exists?’
The first part of Aquinas’ statement would imply that believers who do that measure the validity of their religion by the standards of non-believers. The fact that non-believers do not believe in a deity simply should not matter to believers. Period.
And if you think the second part of the statement is true, recurrent attempts by believers to convince non-believers to abandon their world view is even more confounding…
Why is your imaginary god a CNUT!
@@ralphhebgen7067it is not the will of God that anyone should perish but that all men should be reconciled back to Him. That is why Jesus Christ, by the end of His physical sojourn on earth, instructed that believers should go preach the gospel to the entire world. Please see Mark 16:15-16
Shalom!
@@afiblossom5590 sure, Christianity is a proselytising religion. I know. But how does Mark 16:15-16 square with the second part of Aquinas’ statement? If non-believers cannot be taught, why try?
@@jonashassel5404 Have you ever had a wet fart in public? Does this sound like you have been created by an intelligent designer?! If you have had a wet fart then you can kneel down and pray and thank god for the experience!
I absolutely love the way this man delivers this message! What a blessing to the world he is!
Didn't see coming(The Gospel)😮😮😮😮
Wow I’m from Nigeria and I’ve been privileged to travel a little round the world and have interacted with so many people of earth who didn’t believe in God but hearing this from a renowned scientist God is moving and he is still in the business to heal and restore our relationship. If many others would follow this world will be saved. I’m proud of you sir
he honestly didnt prove anything
@@cheat123 certainly he did not. but I don't think science will be able to win over religion as easily as many textbooks scientists think, even though science and religion are really not at odds. science can only disprove CLAIMS of God, angels but God, God cannot be proven or disproven.
😂😂😂
@@cheat123 He doesn't need to prove anything. He doesn't owe you that. Believe whatever you want. Nobody cares. When you die, you would know the real truth. Until then, suit yourself.
For those who do not believe in God, you were just added to one of my proof that our ancestors ate that fruit of the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad, you have the "free will" and for that I thank you! You are another piece of evidence to me that there is God and don't worry we all have a chance of or for salvation. Jesus Christ came to being and resurrect. Which means he will be with us and continue showing us mercy through others means we might always ignore.
For those who do believe in God and of the same, please just continue this Civil discussion and respect each other's claim.
This is from Willy L. of the land now called the Philippines, and we behold, Child Jesus returns to this Garden where the first man, created out of soil was put to dwell. We all know on the sixth days of Creation that human being was created "male and female" right away, according to text, God or Gods mentioned "... and now we will make human beings; they will be like US and resemble US" (proof to me of all the races we have in this very planet), but our ancestors were created first then a Garden of Eden was made for them. Just sad they were disobedient as we are today.
I was an atheist, what brought me to now be a christian is being a professional software engineer and AI researcher. I realized that humans have tried to make AI in their own image, just as God created us in his image. That our universe was created, the same as I created universes containing AI. It's the same paradigm, and unless I reveal myself to the AI, they have no idea I am here and that I crafted their universe.
I just got goosebumps reading this
Wow
Well explained
This is beautifully said❤
You're crazy as a loon!
I love and respect Dr. Lennox so so much!! He is brilliant, intelligent, well spoken and wise!
Almost as brilliant as Dawkins 😂
@@anthonyeaton5153 nooo way
Show any evidence that he spoke about that is evidence for your peculiar supernatural god?
Lectureon youtube of krishnamurti lecture on is god exist
@@BSwitzerland well spoken. Yes.
A person looking for 'god" is like a fish swimming around looking for water.
"Agency does not compete with mechanism and law" is the sentence I've been looking for for years. Bless this man and his message.
Powerful message; and my conclusion is after a long and hard life of studying mechanism and law the inevitable conclusion is that Agency has clear intent...
You mistake 4 Billions years of Evolution for "Agency". I see no divine creation, there is only a web of interactions driving change. Our Universe could be one of infinite Universes, all different from each other, with different governing laws, some having life, some not, none of which has any requirement to have been "created". We can just as easily be an accident, and you have absolutely no proof otherwise. This man and his message have no foundational proof. Actually intelligent critical thinking people can see right through the BS.
where did he say that again exactly?

@@rubencastellani56581:59
I just love that while this is (inexplicably) a contentious subject, this room of gentlemen allowed him respectfully to say his piece without interruption. The world has overwhelmingly lost this gift.
I suppose the contentiousness is derived from people living side by sude evrry day fundementally disagreeing on how the universe came into being. Further disagreements include those of what laws should apply. I, quite honestly, aleays fail to take true believers seriously as the notion that God should have come into being spontaniously is no more likely than that the universe did. Furthermore that His principles have not stood the test of time (gender roles for example) must surely disproves his omnipitence, as he must surely have been aware those millenia ago that the world wood change. But the bible does not account for this.
Equally, you might argue this to be a point of contwntion with the church not God, to which i would reply that, if everyone is worshiping god wrong for fault of the church's misinterperetation, then even devoted christians must be doomed for hell.
Idk tho.

@@DraikuleVanight que?
I suspect that the room privately believed in what he was saying! Why the 'c' word - Christianity - has now become unmentionable is one of the most stupidly dangerous and destructive beliefs in the modern world. As if mankind had all the answers and had no need of God. Well just take a look at the world around you and see what happens when you leave mankind in charge!
The others are waiting their turn, you should them all.
This video captured my attention because I found out that John Lennox is Kristyn Getty’s uncle. Kristyn and her husband are phenomenal hymn writers, one of the hymns being “In Christ Alone.” Thank you, Jesus for those who are not ashamed of your gospel ❤
Really? Cool
Awesome! I didn't know this before
imaginary creature called jeSUS🎅🏿
That's an interesting fact! You're not quite correct about the writers of "In Christ Alone" though. The music was written by Keith Getty and the lyrics by Stuart Townend. 😀
he was just well paid by either christians or muslims to keep the herd believing in a personal god that gives orders
That was fantastic! Truly a great and uplifting speach by John Lennox. Thanks for showing it. ✝️
"God has not remain distant from our human suffering but has become part of it." Amazingly powerful observation.
Shouldn't God end our suffering instead? Why become part of it so that it continues?
@@SimonBarsinister As long as there is free will and humans will do what they see fit in their own wisdom, there will be suffering.
@@SimonBarsinister God is the most useful being to believe in(not just merely useful but also active and intelligent) as when you merit belief through true effort (not some carrot and stick like many atheists and agnostics criticize religions for which I do as well) so for merely suffering 80-90 odd years we get maximum access to God's love, sleep, life, etc. Hence it is called "heaven" thus rendering any capacity of suffering on us to help our fellow man and woman out through God..
@@SimonBarsinistersee Bernardo Castrup..
Pretty interesting guy....he isn't a Traditional Christian or Bible Basher..
Hes a computer Scientist and philosopher actually and his views on suffering are actually pretty interesting..
He sees the genesis account as a birth of META cognition in humans over instinct......and we are in the dimension/matrix simulation of good and evil..
And when we have the correct balance of meta cognition with instinct, THEN we will be truly "worthy"..

I was an atheist before I hit a car with a motorcycle on September 11, 2002. There was no logical reason I am currently alive today. They called me a miracle. I went into a six week coma as one person and awoke as someone totally different. In the last 22 years I have experienced God in so many different ways. To keep this short, I will tell of the most significant experience. I had been on a long drive, and about 20 miles from home, I had a deep feeling someone else was in the truck I was driving. The feeling cannot be described using the American language as it was far too intense to do so. It was so pure and yet so raw, a love which permeated every cell of my body. I cried as one would expect, and I never wanted this drive to end. If I could bottle this feeling and just give you a small sample, there would be no such thing as an atheist. I am now a speaker on this subject and would love to share my story. If ever you wonder what heaven will feel like, I know. Give God a chance.
That is an old story told a million times.
Paul of Tarsus talked about his hallucinations in the same way on the road to Damascus.
The fact you believe there is an American language is enough to make me doubt your beliefs.
@@mrdeafa25 facts of history are not a "belief".
there are no facts here pal just beliefs and delusions. there is no god.@@maylingng4107
@@maylingng4107why be an asshole.? You're speaking to a human, with emotions. He shared his story, not to convince you, or anybody, but to share the happiness and love he felt. I can't think of any good reason to ridicule him, even if you didn't believe him, other than you're a sadistic psychopathic pos. Would you speak to your mother or child that way? It gives him joy, and has no negative affect on you, so why not let him have his moment of happiness? Why must you knock someone down the moment they rise, or seem happier, or better than you? You need to take a good long look in the mirror buddy! You must be very miserable, to get off pulling others back down.

I appreciate the spirit of wisdom in Mr. Lennox. He makes the message easy to understand and relate to while not overstepping his bounds as to dictate HOW we must relate to God.
Great wisdom, indeed! I have studied the Bible as a pastor for over 50 years. This was great wisdom for a personal God!
"If your daughter gets raped, sell her to her attacker" (Deut 22: 28-29). Yep, great wisdom from a personal God.
AMEN
Wowza that was incredible
We are truly lucky to be loved by god so much
Have you ever _directly observed_ this 'personal God'?
The Resurrection is the proof . . . . but the Bible says that on that day the graves "gave up their dead" - - there were hundreds, at least, of resurrected people walking around Jerusalem. These hundreds of people would need food, a place to sleep, jobs, a change of clothes . . . . there's no real mention of what happened to the hundreds, if not thousands of newly homeless people walking around Jerusalem.
I hope in those 50 years you've learned how to use faith to help people. You don't need to pick up that idiot argument that your faith is the truth when there is no evidence that it is. Faith doesn't have to be true to be helpful.
I listened to the end.
So worthy of sharing!

It's amazing to see an intelligent man talking. God bless him
Ver intelligent yes .but he is using big words to try and confuse people to believe in the supernatural. Problem is he is lying. And is only in it for the money he makes doing speeches. He should be ashamed of himself.
This verse struck me in the morning John 1:3-4 "Through him all things were made and without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind! "
Jesus is a fictional figure; no evidence that it ever existed.
Yes

I’ve studied physics, in particular quantum mechanics, astrophysics, astronomy and cosmology but I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I have never had a problem believing and trusting in God. My scientific knowledge and reasoning is in sync with my Christian beliefs. Thank God for Professor John Lennox who expertly argued the case for the existence and reality of God!
you have no idea what you are talking about
Show one instance when Lennox gave any evidence of his god, all he ever does is appeals to authority even the authority from history, he may as well just read out biblical scripture, after all he always says 'I believe', which is not evidence for any god.
hahaha she studied Gospel:))) not even that. a woman that is so biased by GOd cannot read not even the first line of a paragraph. Wht a lyer.
Similar here, ai researcher and professional software engineer of 20+ years, past long time atheist as well. Pay no attention to the haters and trolls here lol
🤣 Seems like you even didn't finish kindergarten.
As my children grew older I had explained to them that I could not choose their path. I couldn’t choose Christianity FOR them but that they would have to find Him in their own way. They’ve strayed so far as adults that I have repeatedly questioned myself and what I told them but hearing others say the same thing, that a relationship with Him is very personal and must be found by you and ONLY you, I find that I have more faith in God to find them where they are and make Himself known to them. Thank you.
I will pray for you and your children
May they find a personal revelation of their Lord, as was delivered to us. Amen.
@@random_panda089 I am in that same position and pray daily for my adult children’s salvation
I’ve said this before, but both my parents are scientists and have always said that nothing makes sense without God, everything points to Him.
I became a believer after looking for truth for a time and that is a LONG story itself. I went to bible college for a time and left after meeting my wife, getting married, and having kids. Then, I decided to get a science degree in petroleum and everything pointed to God and a creator, order from chaos. After graduating with that it was decided to go back to bible college and graduate with a biblical studies degree. I feel they go hand in hand and only streghtened my belief in God and everything in the scriptures. I've had some amazing experiances with God and have met some phenominal people through the years.

@@MamaMama-sv3b muslims are allowed to compare with science but if it goes against it then they have to reject it until the science in quran is proven like the orbit part, Many said quran was wrong until 1990 where it got proven to be true what quran said

What a presentation. All I can add is that the Word states that if you are ashamed to confess the Lord in public then He will not be in a position to confess your name in front of God, (my words).

I don’t think you can “destroy” another’s belief by saying you believe to the contrary, in place of “I know to the contrary”.
Then you haven't listened to the points the mathematician made in the video or the video itself in general
@@eRRoR____- You have some serious reconsidering to do if you believe that Lennox presented any tough arguments for atheism.
Literally in his first argument, he paints up a false dichotomy saying that either the universe must come from nothing, or God must have created it.
The whole idea that a universe comes from "nothing" is not what science claims. Science only claims that there is a point beyond which we don't know what happened. In fact, Nothingness as a state might not even exist. We can't create a "nothing". We've never observed a "nothing."
Now, I will grant that scientists like Krauss throw the word "nothing" around rather freely, probably because it makes a catchy book title, but it is not reflecting any scientific consensus.

Marvellous speech. This is what should be shared on the internet and to the whole wide world, for us to be inspired and toughen our faith in the One Who has always been and Is, the Eternal One, the Source of Love Creation, Love & Justice. Humanity is degrading not by chance , but because most of us have forgotten the wonderful relationship we can have with the One Who created us and everything. It is the only way to find peace, joy, love and fullfillment. To live by God, to walk with Him as good as we can. There has never been, there isn't and there will never be another way.
Are you saying atheist don't experience joy or love?

I am so grateful that I came to know Him and surrendered my life at a young age (late teen). I am 60 years old next month and I can't imagine how I would have made it without the comfort of knowing Him. The only thing that kept me sane was to know that He was with me.
Almost the same to me 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Me, too; I'm 63, and as far back as I can remember as a little kid. It wasn't 'upbringing', or 'culture', either; I knew I was among God's elect in that same wordless voice that tell you when you need a specific salad, or that someone you meet is bad company. Before I ever started reading the Instruction Book, or getting exposed to scientism ~or~ the actual Laws of Physics.....

People talk about "meeting God ". Interested to know, How did this happen?
I was in a middle of a miracle when I was 10, my dad was a drinker, smoker and never went to chuch, but when he listened to Kent Hovind. He later studied everything if the evolution theory is wrong, went to buy more books about evolution and creation. He gave his heart to the Lord after that. He also started to read the Bible(KJV), he always said that it is the most accurate and was written out of the dead sea scrolls. I saw a miracle again, there was a trail of fire on the mountains it grew longer, visible to the naked eye. It almost burned our houses when it came closer everyday and night. I cried and prayed because my mom did the same thing. They said on the weather news that there won't be any rain after two weeks. There was just smoke all around us. I prayed and prayed and then i felt a drop of water, the smoke became rain clouds. The trail of Fire started to extinguished, there was also one fireman helicopter in our town and it couldn't just be that for that size of fire. It rained. It was in my home country, South Africa that it happened. My dad geve up everything to believe in God, and you told me he isn't real. I saw a lot of miracles, maybe atheist never saw a miracle or blame God of something in the past. I don't want to argue so I rather pray for them than fight. I also chose a hard path like being a Conservationist yet other people like me try to prove He doesn't exist, God works in mysterious ways, I don't even understand it but I feel he saved me a bunch of times and I didn't even thanked him enough. He save everybody even my grandpa who gave is heart to the Lord and past away the week after, I know where he is now and I know where I go at least in the afterlife.
It's better to believe than not believe
Brilliant. Makes me proud to be a Chrisian. God bless this great intellectual man. We need more like him.
N, we don't.
Why would we want more absurd things that he cannot demonstrate are true?
He did not (because he cannot)demonstrate that any 'god' thing has ever existed using the sort of valid and verified evidence I have for the existence of my dog and car.
He is actually a professional apologist who is happy to misrepresent the concensus of scientific opinion to appeal to believers. Not really a very skilled position. We need people who will actually debate properly.
Nazis were Christian still proud?
And THAT is how you do it! That is how you speak for God putting in action the gift of intelligence he blessed this man with. Nobody can claim this gentleman is ignorant, uneducated or hallucinating as they call many believers nowadays. The Truth is the only thing that will set us all free. Question is are we willing to face it?!
I heard nothing but childish arguments.
If he is actually a scientist, he should be ashamed.
Genuine question (I am completely uneducated on Christianity):
God created the universe. His explanation is that the universe couldn't have created the universe because that just doesn't make sense (correct me if I'm wrong), so it must have been some higher entity, aka God.
But did something create God? Was there something before God? Why was God there? Why is God here?
Can someone educated please answer these questions for me? Like I said, I am genuinely curious to know if there is an answer for this.
The biggest question all atheists typically ask is this: who created God? The simple answer is: God was not created, simply because God is the Creator not the creation and he is out of time-space continuum. It is like looking for Leonardo da Vinci in the Mona Lisa painting. You can admire his painting and understand his genius through his painting strokes but cannot look for the painter in the painting itself. So is with God. He created the Universe to perfection. We can admire it, study it through sciences but we cannot look for God in the Universe. All we can see is his strokes. He is out of it and out of time and space dimensions and the laws of Universe which he created in order for the Universe to run in equilibrium. @@machammer7454
And that is proof that people hear only what they want to hear unfortunately. So if you came to watch this debate only for the fun of it but without intention to learning something new than you have wasted your time and I am not surprised you have not learnt anything. I can say from personal experience that Jesus Christ is alive and has revealed himself to me through miracles that are tangible and non-disputable. Yet I know for sure that even that will not be enough and you will still not believe me. So do not waste your time if your modus operandi is to simply mock believers and call them childish. They may see you as childish too even though they at least have the delicacy to not say it to your face. Have you thought about that?! Hope one day you will realize how wrong you are. Probably not today...but someday when you need God in your life. @@salserokorsou
@@machammer7454My 2cents. Nobody created God. He is self existent and self sufficient . He created time, space, and matter. So He cannot be limited and confined by time, space, and matter.

@sandponics IF He IS the 'cause' of it; it is ONLY because #1.

We are going through something that; IF we go through it with a RIGHT and not SNOTTY attitude; we will find...maybe not right away...that there WAS or IS a purpose in it. ATTITUDE will determine MUCH of what we go through. WE can make this EASIER (Not easy; but easier); OR; we can make things unnecessarily MUCH HARDER. The choice is OURS. God is holy; He CANNOT do wrong; we are sinners; and can do very little BUT sin. The balance, or INBALANCE; between us...whose hearts are FILLED with anger; lust; perversion; addictions; murder; etc.. and a just, good; and holy God; who has no sin, couldn't be any clearer.
Let's not TRY HARDER to do and BE wrong; but to do and be more right. The FIRST step is NOT rebelling against God. God loves you; He truly does; but if you treat Him as though He's bad or wrong; then THAT WILL BE what you EXPERIENCE. It's not what really is; but it's what you will create for yourself....what WE all create for ourselves.

Prof John Lennox.
It was far from honest. No scientist of today has said the universe came from nothing. It has been maintained for a long time that the universe is theorised to have originated from a singularity. Professor Lennox has deliberately misquoted science to show his silly equation about nonsense.
"Have you studied Objectivism? Do you really think it's just a list of facts about reality? It's a philosophy, a comprehensive view of existence, a theory of knowledge, a guide to moral action and an inspiration to achieve the highest possible to you.

Imagine an experienced homicide Detective seeing multiple dead bodies face down, bound, and gagged, and there is a man standing with a smoking gun in his hand, yet this Detective concludes that these people died from suicide. Any rational thinking person would immediately recognize the absurdity of such a conclusion. Yet, atheists are just like this "experienced" Detective so-called.

Answers found to be facts can be questioned, but that doesn’t change if they’re true or not. The Bible is a historical document that covers real events that actually happened, and it is studied as such by many Bible scholars who read the oldest found versions of the Bible in Hebrew and Greek to understand the original meaning. The Bible can be studied as a science, and it is, because people take the faith seriously. The whole “answers that can’t be questioned” thing is invalid in my opinion. If I ask the color of the sky and you say blue, I can question if it’s actually blue all day long but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s blue. Science gives us answers that can’t be questioned, like how it’s just objectively true that the circumference of a circle is 2pir. I can question that all day long but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s real. With God, what He says is true because He says it. He created the world with His words, if He said the sky is purple, it would be purple. His word can be questioned, but nothing comes of it. What He says is just what reality becomes, His promises are woven into creation. They can be questioned, as you are clearly questioning them, but you don’t gain anything. You act as though questions that can’t be answered are better, but it isn’t just black and white. That’s like saying, if you saw someone get resurrected instantly before your eyes, that “well just cause I can’t explain what happened doesn’t mean God is real. Id rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned!” Would you watch the laws of physics be broken right in front of you and still say there’s nothing supernatural and no creator? Normally you hear “well if God showed himself to me I would believe him” but you admit that you don’t know how the universe created itself from nothing, then you’ve seen his miracle with your own eyes. What’s more unbelievable, the whole world being created on its own with perfect conditions for life and conscious beings, or one man rising from the dead? The creation of the universe breaks the laws of conservation of energy and the of conservation of mass, so I’d say the universe being created is more unbelievable, but I’m sure if you saw a dead man walk you would believe in God. You see the result of a much bigger miracle every day. You are living in a bigger miracle than the one you’re looking for.
I am a ex witch. I now am in the deliverance ministry and cast out demons. Jesus is a way maker. 🙏
Stay on the meds.
@@donthesitatebegin9283my people perish for lack of knowledge. Meaning your ignorant information is present and you choose to ignore it, the Bible. Something you seem to be ignorant on is a verbal curse when you verbally curse somebody that is armored by the holy sprit, telling them to stay on the meds chances are you will end up on medication yourself. Those demons can’t penetrate me, but they can come right on back to you so I would armor yourself in the Lord now and call that curse off of yourself.
@@donthesitatebegin9283 I know you can’t believe it, but this is a real matter. 🙏In the Bible regular people casted out demons because Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to help us do so in his name if there is a demonic spirit. Her ministry she mentioned above simply specializes in this. 😌 And many ppl convert from witch craft to Christianity when they see how darkness is real after messing with it…. Please continue to pray and ask God to show you he’s real and demons and angels are real… he will show you. I promise that. :-)
You don’t have to fear any of it. Your body has a soul and it either chooses the light or chooses darkness. God gave us free will and he also gave those who have faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit, to guide and direct our hearts and minds all the days of our lives. My life before believing and accepting all of God’s truth was a life that basically relied on my own selfish truth and I was not truly living a fulfilled and purposeful life that truly loved ppl unconditionally …. So it wasn’t until God really saved me from some crazy situations and spoke to me in different ways so clearly while I was at my end/breaking point etc . My life really changed , and the trajectory of my belief system. I’ll never forget he was very much there when one of my children died ….. and so I’m here to tell you there’s an evil that exists and “leads this world” but there’s a good God that gives us a way out by giving us the chance to accept him freely and willingly so we can one day be in our eternal home with him forever. He will show you he’s real, Incase you’ve been wondering ….. something told me to say this. I hope you take this as an encouragement from a stranger , that’s all. Have a good day. 🙏
I encourage you to really have open mind and heart to hear testimonies and read the New Testament :)
@@Jenniferortizcutshall TLDR. Was it all about how "special" you are and how your magical Sky-Daddy "won't let you die" - because you are so very, very "special"?
@@eticketdream is this based on scripture?
"If Aunt Matilda doesn't tell us why she baked the cake, we may never know". We are the cake and God is Aunt Matilda! This man is brilliant!
But would Aunt Matilda say that unless you believe that she made the cake she will torture you forever ?

As long as I can eat the cake, the maker is not significant to me....

I finally subbed dear brother!!! Im so thankful for John lennox.. Hes like a sheep amongst wolves.. Hes against the world FOR THE WORLD.. I love it!! I used to be critical on him because of some of his historical and scientific views. However as Christ has grown in me a love for his people Ive become so thankful for this brother! Thanks for the work you do!! as a fellow content creator I praise God for your work brother!!
Thank so much! And I agree - Lennox is a legend! A great balance of beauty and Truth.
The world that John Lennox considered to be something, Jesus Christ considered to be nothing.

John Lennox is a brain washed creationist loon. He is an expert in mathematics, but knows nothing (willfully) about science. He is getting senile in his old age, but that does not stop him from preaching the creationist propaganda.
Con artistry is called that precisely because it works to pull you in the direction of the notions it is presenting as the truth, but without disclosing the catch: the severely toxic and divisive nature of its applications.
Praise God for this man. Yes! 🙋🤗🤗💞🙏🧎😃😁😇👍
"Personally, I think the biggest damage religion inflicts is on how a person thinks. The notion that someone is watching over you at all times has vast implications on inner thought -- problem solving, value choices, assigned importance on different life events, perceived self-efficacy, etc. etc. etc."
-Anonymous-from an Objectivist forum
The most dangerous affliction is human pride, believing your thoughts are the source of truth.
One of God's BEST in His arsenal - Prof. John Lennox. Brilliant 🥰
If he is one was one of your best,it is no wonder your cult is all but dead! 🤔
Yes. His books are amazing! God is using him enormously in the scientific world. The fact he can answer scientifically is God's gift to these doubters.
Even though he lies and promotes fallacies, one of the best . . .
He really is a great speaker and debater (underrated of course😏).
And you were able to grope God's crotch and can personally confirm God has a nutsack and therefore is a "he" and not a she or an it. Even though God existed billions of years before organisms with male and female sex, you know God is sporting penis and balls. Explain your evidence for this assumption.
As a Catholic, it is awesome listening to John Lennox evangelizing to Athiest thru maths and science and how they work hand in hand. What a humble man he is and a faithful son to his faith... 🙏🙏
Is he Roman Catholic?
@@dnzswithwombats no he's not, but me as a Catholic likes the way he's evangelizing.
Explaining how someone died and then came back to life three days later..... *can't WAIT for that scientific explanation!!*
@@thedude0000 you can ask the man himself when you are at Judgment with the rest of us.
@@wendyjansen2272 I beg you to please in all due respect to please tell me where in the Bible it tells you to pray to Mary and saints to intercede on your behalf?
I loved how he used common sense and mentioned Jesus is part of our pain. So true! ❤️
He used lies and misrepresentation.
@@MrBsteersThere's no denying Jesus Christ
Jesus was probly just some con artist that new some slight of hand you got to realize people were really gullible back then
@thelmathomas9399 Outside of the highly fictionalised Bible there is only a brief mention of someone by Roman historian Tacitus. Your claim is tenuous.
jesus ...he's not "son of GD" or messiah@niky5223
I like content without commentary, or stop-start play by play analysis. Thank you for the content.❤
Then why do you not just watch the original oxford debate. Doesn't it seem a bit low effort to just take other people's words, add nothing of value and give it a title like "opponent DESTROYED" and call it a day?
He shared the gospel!!! ❤ In the most academic slant I've ever heard. ❤
God bless you joung lady 💙💙💙
Academic, sure, but it's still just so much hot air.
If this is the most academic slant you’ve ever heard, you probably didn’t study a STEM subject 😅
let's see, choose between god and science?? it sure looks like science works just fine,
here I am on a laptop! now for an imaginary psychopath, the "god of the bible"
why would you choose such a spitful monster to worship?
He also ignores a huge amount of the Gospel!
I no longer have a problem with God, I now have a problem with Me! I feel like I know the truth but are struggling with my sinful nature
Stop it if you believe you will.
God loves you and all sinners. Look at john 4 parable on the Samaritan woman who were a a pagan and an adulterer. Jesus offered her a drink AND asked her for a drink. This drink represents prayer, the spiritual water that lead us to eternal life. Holy Spirit is the master of prayer and He is often symbolized as a water. He invites you to pray! He literally thirsts for your soul, just like when He was on the cross saying "I thirst"
Don’t believe the lie that we are capable to struggle with our sinful nature and prevail.
We need Christ because by his righteousness we are granted access to God’s presence once more but also it is his victory on the cross that destroys the sinful nature in our life.
Our faith in Christ doesn’t mean we wont struggle with sin as we still live in a world corrupted by sin, but because of our new nature in Christ we can be empowered by the presence of God (Holy Spirit) to overcome, we must find peace in him.
We remain on this earth after coming to know the truth by the very same mercy of God.
It is by his mercy that he withholds judgement of the world to give all an opportunity to come to Him.
He is unwilling that any would be lost.
As Paul says it is our honor to suffer for the glory of God that in following the command of Christ we as the body can do our part in bringing the lost to know hope in him.
I say these things with love!
I struggled many years with what you are describing.
There is hope, don’t stop pursuing God’s presence and truth, he will be made known to you in the depth of your being.
Once that occurs nothing can rock you or remove you from his presence, only by his will and strength not your own.
Don’t beat yourself up, we are all in the same boat.
I pray for you today to see, hear, and feel the Holy Spirit and get in the Book and study it. I pray for your salvation and look forward to meeting you in heaven.
John Lennox explains in a rational and logical way what so many have said in the past.
I love his quote from GK Chesterton.
God bless this man. Thank you.
You really should educate yourself to what the definitions of rational & logical actually are,because your usage of them are objectively incorrect,there is nothing rational or logical about cult ideologies,only a cultist would think otherwise! 🤔
Every 'concept of god' is a concept created by humans.
It is literally a fantasy you believe as fact.
Everything John Lennox says, no everything a fkn christian says can be used to convert someone into Islam.
Your religion isn't anything special. Fuck, these explanations of religious folk give proof that a monotheism cannot exist. If God exists then how many more 'Gods' exist ?
Had to rewind here and there, which is usually a good sign. Brilliant!
Raised atheist, turned agnostic through my teens/20's... transitioning (dare i say) to Christian. The world is unravelling in a crazy way and seems so distopian, increasingly so each day and I'm following the breadcrumbs to the truth. In my heart God is GOOD and I believe in the good of the world, and hoping and having faith that it will prevail.
I am praying for you! Keep learning who Jesus was, not just facts but a relationship with Him. Spend time talking to Him and listening and reading Matthew mark luke John and the rest of the gospels. There will be trials in this world. Jesus live d a perfect life and was killed! He rose again so we may have a perfect eternity with Him and know Him. and now Until the day we are reunited with Him in heaven He promises to be with us. Read John 14:26-27 and John 16:33 ❤️
You were never atheist, just a little kid scared of the dark just like everyone else in here.
i doubt you even know what the word atheist means... @@gou0630
I would encourage you to talk to your local Catholic Church-the church founded by Jesus Christ.
