I was waiting and wondering when God will be discussed on this platform. Then Brian came on board, I enjoyed this conversation and made me love the fact that I was raised a Christian and later found God for myself and developed a deep relationship with Him. I noticed today it’s cool to say you are not spiritual or you don’t have religion. I am a young woman who has experienced the awesomeness of God. He is faithful all knowing God. From my personal experiences. I make bold to say God is real and He exists and I grateful I found Him for my self. Thank you Steven for awesome guest. Praise God😊

So many gods. They can't all be right, but they can all be wrong.

[@dpactootle2522]

The real religious question is: If there were a God, what good has it been for the world if it cannot resolve fundamental problems, misery, and suffering that have plagued trillions of creatures over billions of years since its creation? for example, if it is all-knowing, why not cure cancer and many other diseases instantly, and why create creatures that are so fragile in the first place, and why create a world of suffering in the first place. Maybe nothing can be all-knowing and the only way to avoid suffering is not to create anything in the first place. Creation with an all-knowing God as an explanation does not make sense, and creation out of nothing does not make sense either. Nothing seems to make sense in any direction.

Hi Steven, I grew up believing - but I when I was young, I asked my pastor how we know that God exists. He told me that, that is the wrong question to ask, as well as to expect science to prove. He said that we should rather ask how we know that the Bible is true. I don't remember what he said further than that but, I deduce that he was talking about archeology, studying prophecies and draw parallels to history. (A great place to start with is with Israel's.) Opposed to expecting an empirical field to answering a question mostly based on ideas. How I started reading more of the Bible - which obviously I hope you will be inspired to do more of is as follows: I started with the last of the Gospels which is John and read sequentially from there, and then moved to the Old Testament. If you read two pages a day you will finish in a year. Also, not sure what other religions say about their savior but if behavior infers anything let me ask you this: People who are silenced - is it usually because they are lying? I hope you find peace about it. I hope its not weird for you but I prayed for you. Keep well. *Edit: There's a video of a debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham on the Answers in Genesis youtube channel that I found interesting. When you have time, I hope you will look at it.

[@JackSmith-x8s]

On the contrary, how do we know that God exists? is the RIGHT question. One your pastor obviously couldn't answer, so he used a diversion. 🤷

[@brianmi40]

"No faith at all." Since "Faith" is literally defined as a synonym for "gullible" in the Bible, why should anyone SANE want it? You are correct though: any atheist that thinks they had an "out of body experience" WAS INDEED the WORST ATHEIST EVER. No, you THINK you had an out of body experience. You can't prove it, nothing happened or was revealed that you could not have known by other means. Out of body experiences were TESTED scientifically in an operating room where hundreds technically died and were brought back. A paper with specific words printed LARGE was placed on top of a cabinet out of sight of anyone in the room, but clearly visible if anyone would have truly "risen up and looked down at themself". NO ONE ever knew what was on the paper. You're so "connected" to a higher power, how about asking for a cure for cancer? Too much? OK< then just ask to NOT have to go BUY A SLAVE: Leviticus 25:44-46 King James Version 44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

Brian’s argument is close to Pascals Wager with some genuine belief and faith. I learned this about my connection with God is more of a heart connection than a mind/thinking connection. We all like to ask questions to find answers which isn’t something we can do in our conversations with God. If you make the make the connection with the heart we’ll find more of our answers.

That's interesting. In my experience, the faculty of reason is a gift from God that saved me from dogmatic black-and-white thinking and emotional turmoil.

[@brianmi40]

A "heart connection" is a bad metaphor that has no real meaning. Your brain is where all your higher order thought processes occur. Your heart simply pumps blood based upon a triggering signal at regular intervals. The only "connection" your heart could have with someone else would either be through an artery, or by getting its timing signal to beat at intervals. There's nothing else there. If you imagine there is a god that actually exists, but cannot be perceived by the MIND and by THINKING rationally justified as existing at a level that normal science would seek in order to warrant any other thing we've learned about ourselves or the universe, then you are truly clueless and delusional.

One common mistake agnostics/atheists make is that before arriving at their stance, they often only listen to one side of the argument-voices like Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Hitchens-without giving much attention to the other perspective, represented by thinkers like John Lennox, Stephen Meyer, Frank Turek, William Lane Craig, James Tour , etc. To make a well-rounded, informed decision about what to believe, it's crucial to consider both sides of the discussion. I personally started with Dawkins and the likes but eventually explored Lennox and others, leading me to realize there was no real reason to drift away from my faith in the first place.

Personal beliefs are exactly that. Regardless of what you believe, you have to admit that formal religions have a problem, especially if all they have to work with are the interpreted meaning of writings from particular book. Religious or not, everyone should support all types of scientific endeavor, as in just about every field of study we continue to reveal layer upon layer of unbelievable beauty and complexity. If you do believe in God or a creator, this information should do nothing more than reinforce that belief.

@ Not all philosophical concepts are physical. For example mathematics is not physical but abstract. Philosophers generally do agree on the existence of abstract objects. The mind can conceive of objects that clearly have no physical counterpart. Such objects include concepts such as numbers, mathematical sets and functions, and philosophical relations and properties. If such objects are indeed entities, they are entities that exist only in the mind itself, not within space and time. For an example, an abstract property such as redness has no presence in space-time.[2][3] To make a distinction between metaphysics and epistemology, such objects, if they are to be considered entities, are categorized as logical entities to distinguish them from physical entities. The study of non-physical entities can be summarized by the question, "Is imagination real?"

It is good to be a GOOD person. One does not have to be religious for that. It is GOOD to do good to others and to nature - one does not have to be religious for that. NO - there is no God. God is only an excuse for not knowing. and yes - we are limited with our capacity and ability to understand all. We (me + earth and you) are only a tiny tiny dot in the universe and universes so let us all be humble. We have no importance what so ever. I know, reader, that you do not like it - but it is a fact. I am Jewish Israeli and not a believer.

Religious rules are not Christian. Jesus gave the rules and they are super simple. Love God with all you have and love your neighbour as yourself. Everything else you will do because it flows out of those 2 principles.

[@mattfrenden1000]

Yes, there's about 4000 known religions, they all claim to be the one and only true religion, and they all have different rules you have to follow. I believe there might be something we could call God. Somewhere out there, in another dimension or whatever. But it sure as hell ain't no God from the Bible or Quran. That shit is evil, preposterous, insanely stupid and defying common sense. It's not a coincidence that countries which have separated state and religion are doing better than countries ruled by religion. These "normal" religions suck. All of them. They suck and they're poorly written. They create chaos and have definitely caused more harm than good, they may help individuals by making them feel safe, but that's it. I don't believe it's "God's" work. He would've done better. He created the Universe in 6 days and then he f**ked us by "speaking" to certain chosen "holy" individuals? I don't believe it... You seriously have to be extremely ignorant to believe that. God would've known people like us would be skeptical.

The advanced astronomical ideas of ancient Indian scholars influenced a range of other cultures, particularly through their transmission to the Islamic world and later to Europe. Here’s how this knowledge traveled and shaped other civilizations: 1. Influence on the Islamic World: • Transmission of Indian Texts: Indian texts such as the Aryabhatiya and Surya Siddhanta were translated into Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age (8th-13th centuries CE), particularly at the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. • Scholars like Al-Fazari and Al-Khwarizmi translated Indian works into Arabic, incorporating their mathematical and astronomical methods into Islamic science. • The Sanskrit term “Sindhind” (from Surya Siddhanta) was often used to refer to Indian astronomical texts in Arabic. • Adoption and Development: Islamic astronomers such as Al-Battani, Al-Zarqali, and Ibn al-Shatir adopted Indian methods of calculation, planetary models, and eclipse prediction techniques. They combined these with Greek and Persian knowledge to create more comprehensive astronomical models. • Innovations Inspired by Indian Knowledge: The decimal system and trigonometric functions, both heavily utilized in Indian astronomy, were key tools for Islamic astronomers. Indian mathematical astronomy influenced the Zij tables (astronomical data tables) that guided Islamic star charts and calendars. 2. Influence on Europe: • Via Islamic Spain: The knowledge preserved and expanded by Islamic scholars made its way to Europe during the 12th century through translations of Arabic texts into Latin. • Works of Indian origin, indirectly transmitted through Arabic translations, influenced European scholars such as Gerard of Cremona and Adelard of Bath. • Concepts from Indian astronomy and mathematics, like trigonometry and precise planetary models, were incorporated into European thought. • Impact on Copernican Revolution: Some historians suggest that Copernicus (1473-1543), the father of the heliocentric model, may have indirectly benefited from the mathematical tools and planetary data passed down from Indian scholars via Islamic intermediaries. 3. Influence on Chinese Astronomy: • Indian astronomy also influenced Chinese science during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE). • Indian astronomers traveled to China, where they introduced methods of calculating eclipses, calendar systems, and planetary positions. • The Indian monk Xuanzang documented the exchange of astronomical knowledge during his travels, and Chinese translations of Indian astronomical texts (like the Navagraha system) were studied alongside native models. 4. Influence on Southeast Asia: • Indian astronomy and cosmology had a profound impact on the cultures of Southeast Asia, particularly in Cambodia, Thailand, and Java. • These ideas were often transmitted through Hindu and Buddhist texts, influencing temple architecture, such as Angkor Wat, which aligns with celestial movements. • Calendrical systems in these regions also adopted Indian astronomical principles. Key Ideas Transmitted: 1. Mathematical Techniques: • Trigonometry, including sine and cosine functions. • Calculation methods for eclipses, planetary positions, and the length of the solar year. 2. Planetary Models: • Concepts of elliptical orbits and periodic motion. • Advanced tables for predicting celestial events. 3. Calendrical Systems: • Indian lunar-solar calendars influenced Islamic, Chinese, and Southeast Asian timekeeping. Conclusion: Indian astronomical and mathematical knowledge spread widely, influencing the Islamic world, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia. The transmission of these ideas helped shape medieval and early modern scientific thought, forming a bridge between ancient and modern understandings of the cosmos. This cultural exchange underscores the global interconnectedness of scientific progress throughout history.

I think in this video when you started to go down the rabbit hole of who to thank and why should I thank when I have it good and others don't led me to another revelation. That revelation was that if you go back in time every generation has had struggles at different times in their lives some are poor their whole lives and some find success. But those that we see as poor and struggling, may someday use that struggle to share with a future generation that is then successful and appreciative because of their struggle. So when you think you have it better it is only because another generation struggled at a different point in time that allowed you to be in the place you are. So if you follow that train of thought infinitely it infinitely leads you to being thankful to a higher power or God to be thankful to if you believe He is the Creator.

OMG…I am a very new subscriber. I almost did not listen to this interview because I feel like I have found my “truth”, but I’ve listened to some of your podcasts about health, and thought, “What the heck, let’s see what this guest has to say”. Re: God…I was raised Catholic by immigrant parents who were doing their best and stayed together until death. They were not super church-going but believed in God and were spiritually aware to an extent. I tried using what I learned in Catholicism to help my family become better and happier. Frankly, it did not help much. My Dad drank too much and my mother was miserable as a result. I went off the rails for about 2 years. I managed to pull out of that catastrophe on my own, and started going back uphill. Then when I was almost 18, I discovered a religious group that showed promise. I felt like it gave me “tools” to help and to improve myself and others. I was looking for GOD. Then I listened to one of the usual naysayers, who was telling me that GOD was somewhere else… So, I decided to move on, and I told one of the “counselors” in the group about my decision. She understood, and suggested a counseling session before I left to make sure everything was okay-no upsets…I said, sure, as I had already seen some impressive results in this group. So, I received a counseling session, except that the counselor was not “telling me” things-he was asking me questions, and directing my attention to different areas. At one point we hit on something, and he directed my attention earlier and earlier. Every time, I explained my truth, and we went earlier. Finally we got to an experience that was not of this life. It was a death and I re-experienced the pain, and the emotions, etc of what happened to me. I came through it, and at the end, I felt really bright and was just being me. At that point, I realized from what I had seen and experienced, that if GOD was anywhere, he was here. Here I could get to the “truth” of my existence and eventually fully understand GOD. That was many years ago. I am still part of this group and feel blessed that I found out about it, and that I did not allow myself to be swayed by an uninformed naysayer at that time, and any others since. (By the way, before that counseling session, I was inexplicably experiencing some chest pains once in a while. After that I have never experienced them again. And I KNOW it is because of what I confronted that day.) So, if you are interested in experiencing your “truth” and gaining a greater understanding of life and GOD, reach out to me. I’m in the LA area. Happy holidays!❤

Such as "I don't cheat on my wife because I FEAR GOD and he is always watching".... To live a good life, Be a kind, giving, empathetic, person because we CHOOSE to, because that feels RIGHT to us is a wonderful thing imo. Keep living your best you, you are a blessing to us all :) God indeed knows us, and church or not, He sees us. btw, to those who may think we don't believe in GOD, that's not so.

Living on a world where simple SUNLIGHT makes cells go crazy and cause them to be cancerous.

Does "god" love DOLPHINS more than men? he must, because he designed THEM so that they can NEVER CHOKE TO DEATH because they have a separate path for food versus air. Why did your All Knowing designer put a BLINDSPOT in our eyes? Other animals do not have one. These are but a few of THOUSANDS of examples that could be given. The ignorance you have to put on display to imagine this world, this universe "intelligently created" is simply ASTOUNDING.

Mr Brian Keating, you are incredibly knowledgeable on current religions, but, how much research have you done on long past beliefs, namely occult knowledge and the seven principles?

[@janine-theeternalwannabe]

Not enough perhaps. He's not studied astrology enough to understand its basics, which is of course ok, but it could be acknowledged, instead of just being negative.

"The food people eat impacts their health and the health of the environment. Unhealthy diets, overconsumption, and hunger are leading to nutritional deficiencies and diet-related chronic diseases around the world. The food system is also a major cause for climate change, freshwater depletion, deforestation, and pollution of ecosystems, for example through over-application of fertilizers,' says Dr Marco Springmann of the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food and the Centre on Population Approaches for Non-Communicable Disease Prevention at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford

Climate change has nothing to do with overpopulation? Urban heat island effect?

What a waste of $200 M if it’s true. Feed the millions of people in Africa or the other underdeveloped nations, which would have better use of $200M. Even if you don’t believe there’s a value in practice. Are you kidding me?

[@devastator2773]

200mollion can’t feed millions of people. The government spent trillions to give every America a paycheck during COVID. And that didn’t even help. Come on man.
