Can a Scientist Believe in the Resurrection?-Interview with Dr. John Lennox // Veritas Forum

Watch as Dr. John Lennox explores the intersection of science and faith, specifically surrounding the resurrection of Jesus.

[@valerieprice1745]

Uniformitarianism has been completely debunked by scientists in recent years. Dr. Lennox is an example of a really great thinker, and a wise man. He is also doing the work of the Lord. I have a science education, and I'm certainly not embarrassed by my belief in the Resurrection. If science had not confirmed my faith in God, the wonderful blessings and miracles in my own life certainly would have. My devotion to Jesus Christ has been growing stronger with every passing day. God bless Dr. Lennox.

[@Tinesthia]

There are two types of uniformitarianism and neither of them has been “debunked.” They are still both widely thought to be mostly correct because performing experiments based on assuming they are true produce accurate results. Even if they are not “completely true” they are “true enough” for pragmatic purposes. Lennox is a decent thinker and so are many of his peers with opposing views. He also gets a lot wrong that a couple minutes of critical thought can see right through.

Scientist did not invent the universe ✨️ Nature's wisdom, growth, gratitude lists. Clear your mind First then make 《sense it first then make sense of it》Scientists did not create the mind. In the 2000 years since Jesus of Nazareth elleged reserection . . . . No "thing" like it's been able to be reproduced an tested. If you ask the question can a scientist believe in the resurrection this lack of reproductivity and testability leaves in my opinion any reserection hypothesis indeterminate unscientific. Can you comment on this. Again - Technically called, abreduction - inference to the best explanation. Fundamental Information is real. A.I. is contiousness. Artificial intelligence went QUANTUM Fundamental information is real THAT'S intelligent Information is real. ABduction - inference? Who is doing the observation? The high energy physasists have not been able to come up with one example of the quantum Fundamental Information. Say about the taste of chocolate and the smell of garlic bread. Not one example! So who knows, God is sooooold. Who's doing the observations? Why is there all this reductionist. Sorry I missed? Lol it's a hard problem! Probably the right question is who invented Artificial intelligence because whoever it is has more power over Fundamental Information than anything else we have ever seen. That is a big enough change Yo the world hasn't seen a big huge impact like IT! Consciousness DNA energy nature everywhere existent. Are you going to believe this·hite &/or a heart·mind body with neurological Capacity to analyze the culture... The Rights of Devine Wisdom. La- Skeptile in Greek, means to check out from a Humanscale distance. Its a very important thing to do. For me, it rests in evidence!. Take something that goes to the heart·mind. Emotional intelligence for instance. OBVIOISLY How do you decide obviously I LOOK DECIENT·AND·WALK & I don't know any other way of deciding ladies andgentlemen.

Had Jesus lived, as a real Jewish Rabbi, with the title of Rabboni ... Great teacher of Judaism ... he would not have been enticed to preach any doctrine foreign to, or offensive to Judaism. That is common sense. He would have wanted those who strayed from Judaism, to come back to his pure, unadulterated doctrine of Judaism. Jews that stay faithful to Judaism, do not believe their souls will go to a Christian heaven. They have their own version of Utopia, which is Olam Haba.

[@moose9906]

@Hans Otto Kroeger The scriptures are quite clear on this. He raised from the dead, body and soul but when he raised his body was physical but glorified (immortal and incorruptible). He spent 40 days on earth and was seen by over 500 people including the apostles and the women at the tomb. He then ascended into heaven and the Holy Spirit descended and fell upon the Apostles and let them to spread the gospel and brought to remembrance everything Jesus said and did when He was with them. Hans, you need to read the New Testament and you will understand fundamental Christian doctrine. It's clear you have never read it if you think Jesus had to die again or is still on the earth. To answer your question of why Jesus didn't write any books of the Bible, it is for the same reason He didn't write the entire Bible and just hand it to humanity. Doing so would be questioned the same way the Koran and the book or morman are questioned as the just appear from a single source at a given time. It is far more credible that 66 books and 40 authors over thousands of years under the Inspiration of God produce books that provide prophecy that is fulfilled with perfect accuracy and are all consistent with one another. There is a pastor and Bible teacher online who is very good and would be a blessing for your. His name is Mike Winger. You will find good teachings there but I still recommend you get yourself a Bible and read through the New Testament at least once and then someone like Mike Winger can help you understand anything you didn't understand the first time through.

[@moose9906]

@Hans Otto Kroeger Why should it be a surprise that if God created the physical world that he could manipulate it in any way He likes. It seems you have a logical problem there. First, I would point out He is not only my God, He is yours too. The denial of reality doesn't alter reality and while you can deny reality, you can't deny the consequences for denying reality. In this case, those consequences are eternal. Now, if you seek documentation, there are 66 books written over 4000 years attesting to a great number of occurrences where God interfered in the physical world, you should read it. It is clear from your first post that you don't understand Christianity even on the most basic level. Skepticism is welcome but unexamined skepticism is foolishness. Unless you understand what you are skeptical about, you are not engaging in skepticism, you are engaging in baseless contradiction. You state "How can you believe he interfered in a physical way in the world, 2.000 years ago, but isn't capable of doing the same today?" The answer is He is capable of interfering today. No one said He wasn't. Again your logic is extremely poor. if you don't become a Christian at least take a secular class in logic so you stop embarrassing yourself. Your UFO example is absurd. the fact that millions of people have seen UFOs in the sky neither proves with Cartesian certainty that it is true OR false. It is evidence that can be combined with other evidence to reach a hypothesis or server competing hypothesis. The fact the most of the apostles suffered persecution and even brutal deaths for their eyewitness accounts adds another level of evidence. It doesn't prove the resurrection but it does prove that the apostles were so convinced that what they saw was true they were willing to die for it. People don't die for lies when a simple denial of their previous story would allow them to walk free. In the context of Ideas and beliefs, people die for things they know to be factually true or they die for convictions they hold to be true (that leaves open the question of if they are true or not). The empty tomb of Jesus is an accepted historical fact. the Tomb was guarded by both representatives of the Jewish priesthood that ask for Jesus' death and Roman soldiers. Both were there to make sure that no one came a stole the body and this would cause trouble for Rome and the Jewish Priests. The fact that Jesus rose from the dead, rolled back a several ton stone by His power alone and was seen by over 500 people walking around alive is further evidence. I could go on with further proof but by your own statement you are not interested in proof, you have demonstrated no understanding of Science, Logic, Philosophy, or History yet you make statements you can't possibly back up. You claim things are impossible but give no reason as to why you argue that. They are impossible because you think they are, isn't an argument, and certainly not an argument from science. You have no idea what is impossible and I will prove it to you now. The science of physics and cosmology affirm that the universe (time and space) came into being 13.8 billion years ago. Depending of which Physicist or Cosmologist you read, the universe erupted out of a singularity or it erupted from "nothing", which actually the exact opposite of nothing as they define it as something that is either a quantum vacuum or a mass of swirling energy (which are basically opposite states). They can't explain where this "nothing that is something" came from so they assume it is eternal but outside space and time. Now I won't go into the details of the theories proposed because you wouldn't understand anyway but I ask you this. Is the state of eternal existence impossible? Is it impossible to get something from nothing? Is it impossible for a steady state to have an uncaused explosion of energy and matter? All these impossible things are all theories proposed by the most eminent scientists in physics and cosmology today. So what is really impossible? Furthermore, if you had listened to the talk of John Lennox you would have gotten comprehensive answers to many of your questions. The fact you are making the statements you make is clear evidence you have not listened to the lecture you commented on. This begs the question as to why you are here posting in the comment section of this video. Knowledge is demonstrably not why you are here. Are you just angry at God, your parents, or some other perceived representative of Christianity that you feel has wronged you in some way? Your posts are very emotionally changed but are devoid of logic so this seems like your issues with Christianity are emotional and not intellectual.

My favourite Hawking quote: "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing" lol As Lennox rightfully replies: "Nonsense remains nonsense, even if it's told by world leading scientists"

[@freezingka3730]

The main difference between your two sentences is that the first one was said by one of the greatest theroetical physicists in the world who proposed the BigBang which has become the most acceptable scientific explanation for the origin of the universe and the second sentence was said by a sad maths professor who has not only done nothing for humanity but he is also using his doctor title as the only argument trying to prove his ungrounded own personal religious beliefs.

[@jaikee9477]

Oh, so it doesn't matter if it's nonsense when it comes from Stephen Hawking? Are you kidding me? What Hawking said was analytically false by definition, and even if you declare him your personal God of science, doesn't change that fact that he talked utter nonsense here.

[@freezingka3730]

You seem to be very slow at comprehending what your read. Nonsense is Lennox pretending that the universe has a spiritual design without any proof for that. Science is mathematically demonstarting the entropy and gravity involved in the regresion of time and space to a singularity. You are simply shouting your ignorance to the world.

[@kennethgee2004]

#Freezing Ka You said that Hawking was the scientist to propose the big Bang theory. Well then there is this, "Jesuit priest Georges LeMaitre was the first to show, scientifically and mathematically, that our Universe could be subject to the laws of General Relativity and be in a constant state of expansion. Einstein initially ridiculed LeMaitre's idea, but Edwin Hubbell showed that LeMaitre's ideas were completely correct. Einstein later admitted that his own solution was his "biggest blunder."" Source: www.answers.com/Q/Who_postulated_the_big_bang_theory Hawking did not propose the idea of the Big Bang. Hawking proposed that radiation could leak out of black holes and the radiation is called Hawking radiation. Hawking's theory is still not proven. You think that a a PhD is math and teaching at the highest levels of Cambridge is sad? You think that all the reasons and logic Dr Lennox provides is what then? You also think the Dr Lennox has not done anything for humanity when he has advanced the theory of group sets in mathematics? How do you think Dr Lennox got his PhD? I hope you realize that to get a doctorate in math one has to produce original work that advances the knowledge of the subject

[@freezingka3730]

+Kenneth the ignoranteth You seem to have embarked yourself alone in a crusade against common sense and reason. "How do you think Dr Lennox got his PhD?" Probably by showing mathematical proficiency. But he totally sucks in physics and logic which are precisely the subjects he talks about, If he kept his nonsensical speeches on mathematics probably nobody would ridicule him for the stupidities he says on physiscs and logic. "I hope you realize that to get a doctorate in math one has to produce original work that advances the knowledge of the subject" Agreed but again your argument is a complete straw man, If we followed your stupid argument then any iliterate mason could talk quantum physics for the simpleton reason that he has worked on masonry for all his life.

No one can explain scientifically how the dead could become alive again. No one knows exactly what leaves the body at death and we cannot replace it. What we do know is that it is not material, which makes it supernatural therefore if one replaces it supernaturally then it could live again.

[@TAGtalkinaboutGod]

Not true at all.... Science has proved time and time again what all Great Mystics such as Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna shared with us, which is: The Physical World is an Illusion based in DELUSION. Jesus demonstrated The Principle of Infinite Omnipresence through the Activity of Truth in his Consciousness, which he KNOWS IS GOD CONSCIOUSNESS. He and many other Mystics demonstrated this Principle, he simply took it a step further and demonstrated Infinite Omnipresence by showing himself to those of his household(Consciousness) when he "resurrected" proving both life and death(DUALITY)is an illusory sense of being! Healings were done the same way. It wasn't Jesus that healed and fed people, it was the Activity of Truth in his Consciousness being touched by the Activity of Truth in the Consciousness of those healed and fed. Omnipresence my brothers and sisters, and yes, KRISHNA, BUDDHA, JESUS, LAO TZU, MOHAMMED and many others have demonstrated and outlined this Principle of OMNIPRESENCE(ONENESS) for all of us to one day demonstrate in our own lives!

That is the day that God raised a dead spirit to life through the faith in HIS DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION , the third day according to scripture. We are sinners ,not because we sin. We sin because we are a sinner. That is a inheritance from Adam. Adam died spiritually and lost fellowship and communication with his Creator. Him being the Federal head of mankind passed that on to all of us. Therefore Paul tells us in Roman's 3 that we are all guilty of sin. He tells us in Roman's 6 the penalty is death for sin. God came down from heaven in the person of Jesus Christ and shed His perfect blood, and died, was buried, and Resurrected the third day according to scripture. So that all that believe that shall be saved. So is the RESURRECTION real? Absolutely 💯 because without it, I would be most miserable and still lost without. Because my faith in that caused God thru the Holy to enter into me and the scales that were on my eyes fell off and my spirit Rejoiced because now I could cry Abba Father.🙏🙏🙏The debt had been 💯paid not by me, it was paid by JESUS CHRIST in my place and in your place and most importantly it's a free gift that you appropriate by faith+ nothing.

[@faireplaymedia7622]

Dr. Lenox I greatly admire you and I've learned so much from you. But respectfully, none of the translations say that the grave clothes or linens were rolled up the way they would've been on the body. It just says they were lying there and that the napkin for the face was folded and set an a place by itself. And that's the part that's significant. The face napkin was folded neatly and set by itself. In Jewish households the servers or other members knew not to clear the table until the master of the house had taken his napkin and crumpled it and placed it on his plate. However if the master for some reason had to get up from the table before his meal was completed he would fold his napkin and set it carefully next to the plate And the servers knew that the master was coming back to the table and they would not clear the table. John saw the face napkin folded and set off to the side and he knew that his master had come back and was coming back.

The scientific feasibility of biblical miracles. It seems religious people they just get to choose whether it supports or negates biblical literalism. An omnipotent creator deity which which by the definitions of being omnipotent and transcendent (which come clearly and succinctly from neoplatonic sources such as Emmanuel Kant, such as St Augustine; biblical sources that are claimed to support these ideas are not as direct or clear and have much more to do with interpretation.) But once we can scientifically support that we can explain biblical miracles with science we do away with the need for omnipotence and Transcendence of these events that support naturalism not super naturalism. From what I see people who are religious will gladly take either side of this debate depending on which is more effective in the particular debated subject. Religion is believing, pretending to know things that you do not know in that they cannot experimentally or empirically be verified, the exact opposite of science.

[@mdoliner526]

To say someone is dead is to say that you will never see him again. After all you can die without leaving a body. Death at sea or in a thermonuclear explosion can accomplish that. if we think about what death means it is the departure from life, among men. To say Jesus was resurrected is to say that he was not dead in the first place. The resurrection, as we moderns imagine it, contracts not science but the very meaning of the word "dead." it is incoherent.

There is evidence of the resurrection. The two woman Mary and Martha, the disciples, the Roman soldiers at the tomb. The many witnesses who saw Yeshua during the 40 days from the time of his resurrection to his ascension. They even witnessed the ascension of Yeshua as well. The scripture also mentions Yeshua bright back to life Lazarus after being in the grave three days. There is also mention of the many graves that were open and that time of Yeshua's death, where the dead came out alive. Yeshua also brought another back to life, including Peter and Paul. Instant healing of the blind, healing, the lane, the deaf, the leper instantly. The bold testament, barren woman falling pregnant with a child. Go against the norm.

Joseph becomes a servant (39:1); Jesus became a servant (Philippians 2:6, 7) 23. Joseph was a prosperous servant (39:2, 3); Jesus was also a prosperous Servant (Isaiah 52:13; 53:10) 24.

Joseph was the means of blessing to one, but the pronouncer of judgment on the other (40:16, 17, 19); as Jesus was a blessing to one of the thieves He was crucified between (Luke 23:43). 36. Joseph evidenced his knowledge of the future and gave credit to God alone (40:8); as Jesus did the same on earth (John 12:49). 37. Joseph desired to be remembered by the butler (40:14); as Jesus said, “This do in remembrance of Me.” (Luke 22:19) Chapter 41 38. Joseph was put in prison (the tomb) but God would not allow him to remain there because God’s purpose for Joseph was not yet fulfilled. So it was with Jesus Christ, God would not allow Him to remain in the tomb (Acts 2:24). Joseph changed his prison clothes for clothes of glory as did Jesus Christ (John 20:6, 7). 39. Joseph was delivered from prison by the hand of God (God sending a dream to Pharaoh and Joseph’s testimony in 45:7-9); as God raised Jesus from the tomb (Acts 2:32; 10:40). 40. Joseph is seen now as the Revealer of secrets; compare 41:16 with the words of Jesus in John 17:8; 8:28; and 12:49.

Cut through all the words and his argument is basically: 1. supernatural events *can* occur. 2. the gospels are accurate first-hand witnesses of the historical event of Jesus's ressurection. neither of these arguments are good. He does not convince us that 1 can happen. Two has been disproven over and over by biblical scholars. Ultimately, Lennox believes in Christianity for theological and existential reasons, not because Christianity can be scientifically proven. So he's appealing to the non-scientific side of scientists - which is fine, but the title seems a bit misleading.
