Evidence for God | Expert, PK & Newbie Podcast

In the podcast we have two fundamental beliefs, God is real and the bible is God's word to us. In this supplementary episode Lochie discusses and defends these two beliefs, with this episode looking at the "Evidence for God". Join Lochie as he presents two scientific arguments, one philosophical, historical, and personal arguments to prove that God does actually exists.

The Big Bang Theory is the best explanation we have for the current presentation of the known universe. That is not equivalent to the word “beginning” in the way I typically see it used in a religious context.

The most likely explanation is that there was no tomb. Victims of crucifixion were typically buried in unmarked mass graves.

Can I ask what evidence you have for your claim? Because the weight of evidence is that Jesus received a proper burial. Consider the following: Jewish law required burial before sundown on the day the person died (Deut 21:22-23). The Roman legal expert Ulpian (AD 170) wrote in officio proconsulis (Duties of Proconsul) that “The bodies of those who are condemned to death should not be refused their relatives.” He based this on the precedent set by emperor Augustus (who ruled 31 BC - AD 14). Josephus (AD 37) then writes in multiple places that it was common practise during peacetimes for the families and/or followers of someone to bury their dead after they were executed by the Romans (See Jewish Wars Chapter 4 and Against Apion 2.73). All of this would perfectly harmonize with the 5 independent attestations found within the Bible that Jesus was given a proper burial.

Providing information and providing evidence are not synonymous. All evidence is also information, not all information is evidence. You are providing information without evidence. Plus, where is the faith if one needs proof that god exists?

[@lachlanmiller9568]

Every koine greek scholar would tell you that biblical faith overlaps in semantic range with the modern word trust. Trust is something that can totally be improved with knowledge and evidence, as anyone's lived experience would confirm.

Your second and third facts are rejected due to lack of evidence.
