[@tonygoodkind7858]

Why do you believe that? They're arguing against a straw man, _"can science explain everything?"_ which requires they ignore known limits which _science itself_ tells us about the limit of knowledge -- you know, like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? That's a limit to knowledge: we can't know both the exact location and speed of a particle simultaneously. What's the sensible takeaway? Well science tries to step us closer to truth (the set of facts about reality) by relying on evidence (detections of reality), because evidence is our only reliable way of knowing anything. So the correct way of phrasing it isn't that science can know everything (we just saw it can't). The correct statement would be _science will allow us to know everything which can be known._ It's impossible for that to be untrue. By that I mean if you can show some new method science doesn't know which reliably indicates truth -- if you could do that then by definition science would expand to include that method as "evidence", because you'd have shown you were detecting reality accurately! Note the focus of theist conversations around this question is *NEVER* them proving they (a) have some alternative demonstrably-reliable method of knowing things science doesn't know and (b) proving their ideas using that alternate method. That's what tells us it's snake oil they're selling you.

These are two of my favourite Christ following scientists. Both brilliant people. In my opinion we, humans, can only become complete at the moment we step into a holy union with the one true God. To any young person doubting God, I can tell you one thing after having walked 40 years around looking into everything else but the word of God..There is nothing like Him. Nothing compares, and I've literally looked everywhere from Egypt to Nepal..From scientism to gnosticism, but nothing..No buddha, no shiva..nothing comes close to God of the bible. God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said: 'If you have seen Me you have seen the Father'. I can honestly say that I have seen God and it was His mercy alone which gave me true life, life unlike anything I have known before. And time upon time I see others testifying of this same life giving spirit of the one and only true God of the bible. How I wish I hadn't wasted so much time with all that other nonsense, which is why I am writing this comment to younger people. So spare yourself the time and just start with Lord Christ and the living word of God.

It is quite telling that these awestruck admirers of Brother Lennox and Tour are quick to praise them as "Christian scientists" but done of the repliers has called them Saints, or Men of GOD. The Truth be told, any Bible expositor, no matter his highly acclaimed scholastic credentials, who at this elderly stage of their "Christian walk"are still avowed infernalists, neither know The Scripture of Truth, nor the Power of The Holy Trinity to be The SAVIOUR OF the world. It one does not yet Know Christ Jesus as the Light of the world, the Way, the Truth and The Life Who hath abolished sin, guilt, condemnation, death, hell-fire and the grave, then they don't Know Him and He doesn't know them. But they SHALL for every knee Will bow and every tongue confess That JESUS Christ is The Lord of Life!!! Amen.

[@chrispark2698]

In all fairness to the first question that Dr. Tour answered, scientists do say, "We don't know." The problem is they have to add an addendum to that which is to say, "We don't know, but we do know it wasn't God." But the reality is that the more scientific discoveries we make, the more evidence piles up in favor of the conclusion that an intelligent designer is necessary to make sense of it all. God exists, science proves it.

[@alanmcnaughton3628]

I love the words of Chuck Missler on this. "The bible is an integrated message system from outside of our time domain" Man cannot possibly even write a 700 to 800 word essay that complies with the pattern of sevens found throughout the bible. Dr Ivan Pannin wrote 43,000 pages of information that proves the bible to be that integrated message system, which Chuck left no doubt with his video "sevens in the bible"

[@leonardschrock4987]

Though for John Lennox on the question that came three times. I have heard it said that the Bible is its own best interpreter. Genesis one and two tell of creation. Exodus 20:11 (KJV) Says "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." Exodus 31:17b "for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." Sounds like normal days to me. Thanks

[@danieliebenberg1194]

Yup. You're right.

[@mare_sheep9724]

It says God rested on the 7th day. But for the sabbath it does not say evening and morning and declare the 'day' ended. So do we become too ridged in defining 'day' in all cases as 24 hours?

[@hankjnsn35]

Yes, I love hearing about their love for Jesus but Lennox sidesteps the creation story. It was undoubtedly 6 literal days and he talks about interpreting Genesis wrong but not the deep timers interpreting anything wrong or their assumptions.

[@ngatatan2597]

Problem with that narrative is humanity trying to fit the supernatural God on human terms based on human experience and knowledge. Try to understand this - 1. Modern scientific cosmology and astrophysics concluded that Space, Time and Matter did not exist before the Big Bang 130 billion years ago. 2. Stephen Hawking, after failing to disprove singularity (ie the entire Universe was created out of nothing and before the Big Bang, there existed nothing), was forced to conclude that the initial Power that caused the Big Bang must have existed outside the universe we know. Because He was a committed Atheist, he proposed the idea of a “multiverse” instead of the most obvious - God. 3. When God created the heavens and the earth, He also created Time, Space and Matter. 4. God exists in Heaven (not the heavens) outside Space, Time and Matter. Space, Time and Matter - especially Time - does not limit God so that a Thousand years is like a day to God and a day is like a thousand years. The past, the present and the future is nothing to God so He is omniscient - He sees and knows everything before it happens, when it happens and after it happens. Space does not limit God so that He is everywhere at the same time all the time - His Omnipresence. Matter does not limit God so He can command the elements, multiply bread and fish, make Wine out of water, cause oil to flow from a jug without ending, raise the dead, heal the sick... Become a human being to enter the world He created... That is Jesus Christ, the Lamb slain from the creation of the world. Revelation 13:8 So what kind of day are we talking about. Being inspired by the Holy Spirit, the ancients came up with the Genesis narrative and Moses out down on paper. For God unlimited by the constraints of time, a day is not what His created universe understand it to be and certainly not what the earthly human know it to be. Therefore to take the creation story at literal face value would be a mistake because while it is possible for God to create everything in 7 Earth days, what He chose to do remains a mystery.

Quoting one verse from Quran: And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

What's amazing about Christianity is that it's based on a historical event. The accounts of the Quran, of Buddha and other religions (whose earliest writings come several hundred years after any witnesses would've died) could be told relative to any time or place and function the same. Not so with Christ. If the resurrection didn't happen, we Christians are fools to be pitied over anyone else. Yet as Lennox pointed out, the entire field of scholarship on the Bible agrees to several key facts as a matter of historical record based on the attestation of the scriptures, even the atheist scholars agree: Jesus lived. He died on a cross. He was buried. He left behind an empty tomb. Most of them agree there's also enough evidence in the gospels that his disciples and over five hundred eye witnesses believed to have seen the risen Christ. All but one of the apostles willingly faced brutal executions, rather than recanting their testimony that they had personally seen the risen Jesus.

*The remaining Apostle (John) lived out his days in peace, farther afield, dying of old age on the Aisle of Patmos, thus escaping martyrdom.

I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation... until they both made this saying true: "The Bible isn't a science textbook, but many treat science textbooks as if they're the Bible." Never does the Bible depict earth as evolving, moving, spinning, orbiting, or ball-like, in any context or genre. When Moses wrote "evening and morning, day ___", he couldn't have been any clearer that he was talking about normal days, not long ages. Even the 4th Commandment about the Sabbath day is based on creation week. And there was no sun for earth to orbit the first few days So neither earth age or earth construction match mainstream "science". Gen. 1 is historical narrative, and the burden of proof that these are just figures of speech lies with old- and ball-earth proponents. If we reject the Bible's depictions of earth shape and age, we must also reject its miracles--- including the Resurrection--- since they too clash with "scientific fact".

Time as we know it did not exist before the fourth day when the constellations, stars, great and lesser lights were placed in the firmament. On the seventh day God preceded to rest from his creative works. The seventh day has never ended. We are still in the seventh day. After Israel left Egypt and they were in the wilderness some of the people, due to lack of faith, were told they would not enter into YHWH’s rest.

Lennox and Tour failing miserably to make their beliefs sound credible. I challenge anyone capable of critical thought to step back and take a serious look at what they are being asked to believe in order to claim to be a Christian.

[@AtamMardes]

One of the oldest evil scams is to tell people they're born in sin and there's a better place after death, but to be saved a spot they must repent and make some donations while at it.

[@bettytigers]

I'm glad Dr. Tour has got such a good supporter in professor Lennox, I hope it helps make up for his unforgiving critics!

[@regg32457]

Thank you John Lennox and Jim Tour for this excellent discussion.

[@Ronin-Cross]

The Bible absolutely does tell the age of the Earth; death came into the world after Adam, there can be no death before and a universe billions of years old with life, death, and evolution would mean death and suffering existed before the fall of Man.

[@Robandje1]

Answers in Genesis explains this as well as any ministry of Scientists who believe the Bible. It's very disappointing how many great people , academically speaking, have been duped by the enemy in this area. If adopted to logical thinking....it destroys not only Genesis 1-11....but in fact the whole Bible and of course the Gospel. If Sin and death did not come through one man as the Bible clearly claims...then Sin does not exist and therefore no saviour of mankind is required or could even be conceived of. This is very dangerous theory.

The Bible is pretty good at explaining the importance of self-control. Proverbs 25:28 says - "Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control." The people whose primary focus in life is to go out and party would do well heeding that verse.

No, it's more than possible. Lennox is a dishonest arrogant old fool at this stage. I don't share his religion and I don't share his appetite for lying about science.

[@firmamental4900]

These are amazing scholars and I love listening to them. I just wish they would honestly discuss the biblical cosmology of our enclosed, immovable world found in Genesis.

[@TboneWTF]

Of course not, but that doesn't mean they will stop trying to. Science is a field that uses logic and fact to find an answer. What can't be explained presently with science can be reasonably and logically explained with commonsense and feasibility.

[@JacobStar91041]

That was absolutely amazing, I have high respect for James Tour and John Lennox. Such a pleasure as a young man to be able to sit here and have listened to something that will stick with me for a lifetime.

[@waynesumner1829]

If the King James Translation authors had not failed to Capitalize the pronouns of Deity in their otherwise faultless Translation, They would have written the "after His Kind" and Their Kind and Us and Our Image and Likeness phrased in Genesis One in the Upper Case, and that would have dramatically revolutionized the interpretation of The True Creation! His and Their Kind , referring to GOD and or The Holy Trinity and the plural Us and Our of verse 26 are Spirits. So the only Things He or They could have possibly created would have been Eternal Spirit Beings, not transitory, corruptible perishable mortal physical bodies of flesh, blood and bone! And how can THAT Which and They Whom That had Always Been, have "a beginning"? If one tries to make reasonable, sane sense of Genesis as Moses supposedly wrote it, he will be as confused as a termite in a yoyo! LOL 😂😆
