[@bigboy21123]

@@da324 god might be invisible but he left evidence of his existence. For example if god flooded the world there would be evidence of it. If an animal dies then chances are that it would decay or become dinner for other living organisms before it slowly got covered by dirt to become fossilized and if a mature tree gets petrified in the upright position if it was slowly covered you would think that it would die and fall over before it had a chance to petrify yet these things can be found all over the world . Or there could have been a world wide flood that buried these things rapidly. If you need more scientific examples of why we live in a young world that is about 6,000 years old like the bible explains as opposed to billions of years old as evolution says then you can look up kent hovind creation seminars here on KZbin. He has a theory as to what the earth was like before the flood and why people lived to be 900 years old, dinosaurs in bible and what happened to them and why some might still be alive , and all kinds of other interesting stuff

[@JonTrott]

I've really been enjoying your channel. And re "Jesus Is Just Alright With Me"... it started off as a gospel song in 1966 by a black gospel group! Then the Byrds covered it. But the Doobies took it to a whole new level, adding that slow breakdown in the middle that you enjoyed so much (so do I!). The intersection of black spirituals and gospel w/ rock and roll is well documented... of course, Led Zep covered Blind Willie Johnson's "Nobody's Fault But Mine." Rollings Stones hit the gospel vibe numerous times (!!), including "Salt of the Earth" (a prayer/praise of "hardworking people"), the classic "You Got to Move," and the astonishingly beautiful "I Just Want to See His Face." The latter begins w/ a slow, almost aimless jam, and resolves into a cry to God. O Mick, we dinna know you had it in ya! Want something totally weird from 1967? Try a song that ended up in the movie "Easy Rider." "Gloria," by the Electric Prunes. I can really go on this topic if more is desired...

[@ga0425]

I may not be a Christian, but watching Brother Jamel’s reaction today, reminded me of what I thought all those decades ago when I first heard this great tune-Jesus Is Just Alright By Me too!

Being a believer myself, I love how they weren't ashamed to proclaim their faith in such a public way. Don't know if they were all Christians, but at least three of them were for sure. Saw them on a documentary a few years back, and this song, and subject came up. Very cool song.

The fact that the word "Christian" triggers people is no surprise. It has done so for over 2,000 years. It is also fact that good acts can be done - or not done - by believer and non-believer alike. So the question that arises is, whom does your "good act" exalt? Yourself, or another? In any event, let's encourage doing good.

YES our church did this at our church!! They are all on this recording. DID WE NOT TELL YOU THIS WAS GREAT!?!?!?

Good news is that as a follower of Jesus I have had church with this song since it was released. There is a huge number of bands and songs that are surely gospel as any hymnal.

I saw The Doobie Brothers at Alpine Valley in 1980. I was 16 years old. We were in the parking lot partying before the show, when one of them came up and asked if he could hit our joint. So we partied with him for about a half hour and didn’t know he was in the band, until later when we saw him on stage. Good times.

Before Michael. I saw them live where they went from the second act to headliners. Their Wnterland show was stunningly electric. Steve Miller (the headliner) called the 2 guitarists from the Doobies for a final , end of the show, jam. Outstanding! After that show, they were always headlining.

As a side note, the Doobie Brothers were finally inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame last May 2, 2020 after being first eligible way back in 1996. I just hope it went through despite the pandemic. Congratulations!! This was long overdue!
