Give Me an Answer - God Is the Center of Our World View Or Our World View Is Ultimately Meaningless

Program 0220
Cliffe Knechtle has a great conversation with college students at a campus in the southwest US.
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

[@georgedoyle7971]

@@walterdaems57 ““Jester” “It’s funny that some people take him seriously” Ho the irony!! It’s funny that you take yourself so seriously and “truth” so seriously under relativism!! Is that an absolute truth claim you just made or a subjective “truth” claim? Because the only thing “funny” is your belief that you can make absolute “truth” claims under relativism and live consistently as a moral subjectivist or relativist. “Funny” according to who? A chemical and biological robot? Sorry buddy but under a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism you are nothing more than a accidental by product of a blind, mindless, meaningless process of random atoms and brain chemicals creating the illusion of stable patterns and regularities. There is no such thing as “funny” or “truth” as this is a metaphysical presupposition that can not be proven, justified or grounded in a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism that clearly excludes metaphysical realities. Under your world view “funny” and “truth” is illusory and is nothing more than meaningless neurons firing. Have you actually read Nietzsche? Under your world view you are an “illusion” and nothing more than brain chemicals dude. You are just an overgrown amoeba! You are nothing more than a pointless, meaningless “bag of chemicals”, an evolved ape who shares half their DNA with bananas. A chemical and biological robot! Your world view not mine buddy!! So why “ought” we take your claims to the rational and moral high ground “seriously”? According to Friedrich Nietzsche… “Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions. - Nietzsche, Reference from: On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense” Nietzsche would laugh at your metaphysical presuppositions. Equally, the irony is that a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism basically says that (nobody took no time to turn nothing into everything) a belief that at worst is synonymous with the belief in magic and at best it’s synonymous with the belief in myths and miracles. I don’t need secular myths and secular religion to know what right and wrong is!! I wouldn’t have the arrogance to lecture a bereaved mother during a pandemic who’s only consolation is the hope of being reunited with her child in some kind of afterlife. That’s not “funny” at all. It’s cold and callous and dehumanising. The irony and absurdity is that you don’t even know the implications of your own world view because according to the atheist with probably the highest IQs of all the atheists that ever lived…. “life is an horror and truth is illusory.” (Friedrich Nietzsche) The fact is that we are all on equal footing at the very least under relativism buddy. This is the logical conclusion of a strictly reductive materialism, atheism or philosophical naturalism and it is horrific according to Nietzsche. Equally, your absolute “truth” claims are beyond absurd and make a court Jester erudite in comparison because under your world view “truth is an illusion” (Nietzsche) (Militant Atheism/relativism, materialism, philosophical naturalism): “The belief that there was nothing, and nothing didn’t really mean nothing as there was no such thing as meaning, and then nothing much happened to nothing except nothing and then nothing suddenly magically exploded for no reason, creating everything, and then a bunch of everything suddenly magically rearranged itself -- for no reason whatsoever -- into self replicating bits which then turned into something that meant everything. But it didn’t really mean everything or anything as everything is meaningless.” (Atheism) Yeah perfectly “sane” and makes perfect sense!! About as much sense as your court “Jester” argument! And they mock other peoples beliefs!! ❤️

As a boy growing up my father bought me a dog which he got me as a pup who ended up becoming fiercely loyal to me. We lived on a 7 acre lifestyle block with a creek surrounded by fields and orchards, mostly apples and peaches but also the most delicious apricots. This was our playground which we roamed as 11 year olds with slug guns and dogs in tow. My dog was Mack and the memory of him still lingers on with me today. He was a fond friend. He knew that I was from a superior race of beings that built homes and cars and refrigerators with sausages that he’d woof down in 3 seconds flat. And because he knew we were rocket scientists compared to him with a life that was beyond his comprehension, he wisely elected to become the loyal friend he was to me. Now I am Mack and God is God. I cannot understand how He made the world. It’s beyond my comprehension. The stars and the distant galaxies are a mystery to me. But God did it. He made it. And I am fiercely loyal to Him.

🍊💐🌹🌺 The Quran , being the final unchangeable message of God , is a very potent challenging book. Apart from its rhyme (in Arabic) & being memorized by heart by millions of muslims , it's also supported by science & maths ! It's a living permanent miracle of prophet Muhammad ! The miracle of mathematical codes hiding behind the text of the Quran is enough to prove its supernatural origin. The Quran is the only book where Yhwh himself speaks directly ! : 1- WATER STRATIFICATION: Existence of barriers which slow & control the mixing between different waters in the seas so that each water keeps its characteristics & species: 🌹Quran 55:19-20💐 ''He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress (each other).'' 🌹Quran 25:53💐 ''He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition.'' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratification_(water) 2- THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX: The prefrontal cortex (the frontal part of the brain) is responsible for making decisions , manipulating , lying ,..etc 💐Quran 96🌹 15- ''Nay, if he(God's enemy) desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead(in the judgement day) 16- A lying, sinful forehead!'' 3- THE MIRACLE OF IRON IN THE QURAN: IRON has meteoric origin in our solar system (sent down to Earth & sunk to the core): 🌹Quran chapter Iron 57:25💐 '' And We sent down iron, in which is great power, and many benefits for humanity " This miracle exists in Quran's copies which consider 'Basmalah' as the 1st verse (Basmala is the sentence 'In the name of God,the mercifull' at the head of each chapter). Thus, the verse 25 becomes 26(Iron's Atomic number). The number of verses 29 becomes 30(iron's neutrons). Chapter 57 is the core of the Quran(114 chapters). 57 is a stable isotope of iron. Iron has the second most tightly bound nuclei(Nuclear binding energy). 4- THE FINGERPRINTS : In The following verses God mentions his ability (in judgement day) to recreate not only the bones/skeleton after decomposition in the grave, but more difficult than that : the tips of fingers (this refers to the complexity of each paerson's fingerprints) : Quran 75 3 - Does man (a disbeliever) thinks that We shall not assemble his bones (in the hereafter)? 4 - Nay, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers. 5- EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE : Quran, 51:47 "And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it. 6- BIG CRUNCH & ANOTHER BIG BANG (Cyclic universe hypothsis): Quran, 21:104 "The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books ,- even as We produced the first creation, so We will also reproduce it : a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it. 39:67 They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth(s) entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him. 14:48 [It will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, and the heavens [as well], and all creatures will come out before Allah , the One, the Prevailing. 7- Embryology: The scientific translation of the verses of embryology: Q22:5 O mankind! if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We (inform you that we ) have created you from a gamete/ovum , then from a zygote , then from an Blastocyst/adherent , then from a disc which is differentiated and not differentiated... ABIOGENESIS (beginning of life) IN CLAY AND EVOLUTION (of man) FROM ANOTHER SPECIES : Q23:12 And indeed We created man out of a species/progeny/life form which originated from clay. (12) Thereafter We made him into a Zygote in a welcoming stable lodging (endometrium). (13) Then We made the zygote into a Blastocyst/adherent , then We made the Blastocyst/adherent into a disc , then We made out of the disc bones (notochord), then We clothed the bones with muscles, and then We made him into another creation. So Blessed is Allâh, the Best of creators ------------------------------------------------ THE SURPRISE: Adam was a modern human who was created from a female like jesus . He was not the first man : Quran 3:59 Truly, the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him from a gamete/ovum , then said He unto him, 'Be,' and he was being" . - Evidence for the existence of other people when Adam was created , when satan refused to prostrate : Quran 38 He (God) said (to satan) : Go forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast, (77) And lo! My curse is on thee till the Day of Judgment. (78) He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the Day when they are raised. (79) He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved (80) Until the Day of the time appointed. (81) He said: Then, by Thy might, I surely will beguile them every one, (82) Save Thy single-minded slaves among them. (83) He said: The Truth is, and the Truth I speak, (84) That I shall fill hell with thee and with such of them as follow thee, together.

The reflecting function of earth's atmosphere : [I swear] by the sky which has returning/feedback properties . (Qur'an, 86:11) 9 - PULSAR NEUTRON STARS : "( I swear ) by Heaven and The Knocker ! And what will convey to you what The Knocker is? It is The Piercing Star ! (Qur'an, 86:1-3) " 10- HYPOXIA (suffocation) IN OUTER SPACE Quran 6:125 So who God wants that He guides him, He expands his chest to the Islam/submission (to God); And who He wants that He misguides him, He makes his chest narrow/tight , constricted , embarrassed as if (he) ascends in the sky. 11- PHOTOSYNTHESIS: Plants begin to produce oxygen at down. Quran 81:18 And (i swear ) by the dawn when it breathes/sighs 12 - EGYPTOLOGY EXCLUSIVELY IN THE QURAN Why the pyramids were built?: The pyramids were alligned with some stars because Pharaoh of the exodus somehow wanted to watch the god of Moses ( The pyramids were used as electricity generators to project light up to the sky ): Quran 40:36 And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways - 40:37 The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin. How the pyramids were built ? : It is first discovered by Joseph Davidovits(material scientist) then supported by Michel Barsoum(materials science researcher) that the blocks of the pyramids are not natural . but they are just moulded concrete bricks of clay ,lime & water then heated. Quran 28:38 And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses.

Atheist: yes Christian: you don’t believe that Atheist: yes I do Christian: no you don’t Atheist: YES I DO! Christian: well then, your belief that ALL LIFE arose from dead inanimate particles through evolution would have to be in your opinion just as impossible and absurd if you believe that the miracle of Jesus coming back to life in full resurrection is impossible and absurd. Not only that, but Christians give a cause for the resurrection as it was on the account of Jesus being God and having the authority to do so, whereas your belief of all life arising from dead inanimate particles is without any cause or guidance and thus making the Atheistic belief truly impossible and absurd.

Like many other Christians, you have committed the logical fallacy of appealing to ignorance and the fallacy of shifting the burden of proof.

@@Sacrifice-Paid I could apply the same logic to you. It doesn't matter how much evidence there is that the bible is inconsistent and immoral (which is supposed to be God's word), in the end Christians just either rationalize or dismiss the evidence. Just like the creation story, once it was disproved, Christians turn to "well it was only a metaphor." Anything in the bible that is obviously false or immoral is either a bad translation, a metaphor, or "well that was the old testament" (well was it the old god?). In fact Christians stand at an even more dangerous position according to your argument because Christians must ignore all the evidence when it conflicts with faith.

You don’t believe in the Bible first. Someone preaches the gospel to you. And you will sense or feel something happen in your heart and/or mind.

[@danweaver4304]

No sir. You don’t come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ by feeling something happen in response to someone preaching. If you think that’s correct, then you are liable to fall for any false prophet who comes along teaching a false version of Christianity. You must read the Bible, question it, seek evidence to determine its veracity, and do the same tests of other religions. Faith is not blind. We are called to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. I interpret this to mean we are to know God with our spirit, mind, and body. Feelings are your body’s way of experiencing the reality of God’s presence, but they are unreliable. That’s why you must also examine claims of truth with your mind. Liars can fool you with clever speech, designed to make you feel a certain way. Liars cannot fool the person who has questioned everything, and tested it, and held fast to that which is good and true. Loving God in spirit and in truth can only occur after one invites God into one’s life, into one’s heart, where the spirit resides... the core of your being. God’s Holy Spirit then gives peace, comfort, and joy - even in the middle of sorrow, pain, and grief. Read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and ask yourself whether or not Jesus is who he said he was.

🍊💐🌹🌺 The Quran , being the final unchangeable message of God , is a very potent challenging book. Apart from its rhyme (in Arabic) & being memorized by heart by millions of muslims , it's also supported by science & maths ! It's a living permanent miracle of prophet Muhammad ! The miracle of mathematical codes hiding behind the text of the Quran is enough to prove its supernatural origin. The Quran is the only book where Yhwh himself speaks directly ! : 1- WATER STRATIFICATION: Existence of barriers which slow & control the mixing between different waters in the seas so that each water keeps its characteristics & species: 🌹Quran 55:19-20💐 ''He has set free the two seas meeting together. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress (each other).'' 🌹Quran 25:53💐 ''He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition.'' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratification_(water) 2- THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX: The prefrontal cortex (the frontal part of the brain) is responsible for making decisions , manipulating , lying ,..etc 💐Quran 96🌹 15- ''Nay, if he(God's enemy) desist not, We shall most surely drag him down upon his forehead(in the judgement day) 16- A lying, sinful forehead!'' 3- THE MIRACLE OF IRON IN THE QURAN: IRON has meteoric origin in our solar system (sent down to Earth & sunk to the core): 🌹Quran chapter Iron 57:25💐 '' And We sent down iron, in which is great power, and many benefits for humanity " This miracle exists in Quran's copies which consider 'Basmalah' as the 1st verse (Basmala is the sentence 'In the name of God,the mercifull' at the head of each chapter). Thus, the verse 25 becomes 26(Iron's Atomic number). The number of verses 29 becomes 30(iron's neutrons). Chapter 57 is the core of the Quran(114 chapters). 57 is a stable isotope of iron. Iron has the second most tightly bound nuclei(Nuclear binding energy). 4- THE FINGERPRINTS : In The following verses God mentions his ability (in judgement day) to recreate not only the bones/skeleton after decomposition in the grave, but more difficult than that : the tips of fingers (this refers to the complexity of each paerson's fingerprints) : Quran 75 3 - Does man (a disbeliever) thinks that We shall not assemble his bones (in the hereafter)? 4 - Nay, We are Able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers. 5- EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE : Quran, 51:47 "And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it. 6- BIG CRUNCH & ANOTHER BIG BANG (Cyclic universe hypothsis): Quran, 21:104 "The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books ,- even as We produced the first creation, so We will also reproduce it : a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfill it. 39:67 They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal, while the earth(s) entirely will be [within] His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand. Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him. 14:48 [It will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, and the heavens [as well], and all creatures will come out before Allah , the One, the Prevailing. 7- Embryology: The scientific translation of the verses of embryology: Q22:5 O mankind! if you are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We (inform you that we ) have created you from a gamete/ovum , then from a zygote , then from an Blastocyst/adherent , then from a disc which is differentiated and not differentiated... ABIOGENESIS (beginning of life) IN CLAY AND EVOLUTION (of man) FROM ANOTHER SPECIES : Q23:12 And indeed We created man out of a species/progeny/life form which originated from clay. (12) Thereafter We made him into a Zygote in a welcoming stable lodging (endometrium). (13) Then We made the zygote into a Blastocyst/adherent , then We made the Blastocyst/adherent into a disc , then We made out of the disc bones (notochord), then We clothed the bones with muscles, and then We made him into another creation. So Blessed is Allâh, the Best of creators ------------------------------------------------ THE SURPRISE: Adam was a modern human who was created from a female like jesus . He was not the first man : Quran 3:59 Truly, the likeness of Jesus, in God's sight, is as Adam's likeness; He created him from a gamete/ovum , then said He unto him, 'Be,' and he was being" . - Evidence for the existence of other people when Adam was created , when satan refused to prostrate : Quran 38 He (God) said (to satan) : Go forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast, (77) And lo! My curse is on thee till the Day of Judgment. (78) He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the Day when they are raised. (79) He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved (80) Until the Day of the time appointed. (81) He said: Then, by Thy might, I surely will beguile them every one, (82) Save Thy single-minded slaves among them. (83) He said: The Truth is, and the Truth I speak, (84) That I shall fill hell with thee and with such of them as follow thee, together.

The reflecting function of earth's atmosphere : [I swear] by the sky which has returning/feedback properties . (Qur'an, 86:11) 9 - PULSAR NEUTRON STARS : "( I swear ) by Heaven and The Knocker !

Quran 81:18 And (i swear ) by the dawn when it breathes/sighs 12 - EGYPTOLOGY EXCLUSIVELY IN THE QURAN Why the pyramids were built?: The pyramids were alligned with some stars because Pharaoh of the exodus somehow wanted to watch the god of Moses ( The pyramids were used as electricity generators to project light up to the sky ): Quran 40:36 And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways - 40:37 The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin. How the pyramids were built ? : It is first discovered by Joseph Davidovits(material scientist) then supported by Michel Barsoum(materials science researcher) that the blocks of the pyramids are not natural . but they are just moulded concrete bricks of clay ,lime & water then heated. Quran 28:38 And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses.

Paul speaking in 1 Corinthians 15 says " If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised." This doesn't sound like a myth. It sounds like Paul even in his day convincing those who have come to put their faith in Jesus to understand the authenticity of the gospel.

That’s evidence. With god there is no evidence, it’s all believed or imagined. You can’t produce anything close to the evidence I just provided you. That’s why you don’t “know”. I respect your “beliefs” but it’s not knowledge.

Life coming from non-life is direct evidence of some kind of higher power or thought. Absolute truth is evidence that there is a moral law thus a moral law giver, once again, evidence of some kind of higher power. The intricate complexity of not only the human mind and body, but every living thing that has ever been or will be is evidence that there was design behind all forms of life. You can choose to reject the evidence, but to claim there is no evidence of some sort of higher power/mind/deity is naive.

@@JeezyF these examples you give are like having a hammer and everything looking like a nail: they are a huge leap without any backing. You could insert pretty much anything else in place of God, naturally any other higher power that some other religion believes in, and it would make the same amount of sense. As we learn more about the natural world, religions hiding places shrink more and more.

That’s because they are all very proven to be beliefs. Christ is a DMT trip, anyone who has done dmt, or even mushrooms would agree that if you had no explanation for why you are tripping (burning bush smoke or eating mushrooms they didn’t know contained psilocybin), you would not be be able to explain what else it is.

@@Kimkong2 It's certainly one of the main reasons Fred, yes. Fred, what do you think the chances are if you sincerely prayed for someone with an incurable disease to get better?, I'd say they'd be slim to zero, .. but doesn't it say in the New Testament in various gospels, words to the effect of "whatever you ask for in prayer, you shall receive" .. now of course, I'm pretty sure that whoever wrote that didn't mean, if you prayed for a million dollars you'd receive it. But what if you genuinely and sincerely prayed for a close friend or family member to be healed of something that medical science cannot cure.. wouldn't that be an ideal opportunity for God/Jesus to show his hand... medical science can't heal it.. but Jesus can... how amazingly fantastic would that be ! .. but the truth is, as far as i can see, those passages that state whatever you wish for, you shall receive, is not true. But God will heal you of a neck pain, or one leg that is 1 inch shorter than the other, as i've seen lots of Christian healers do in shopping malls. Thats an easy trick to do.

[@Kimkong2]

@@bonnie43uk Hey Bonnie. The question asked is abit inconsistent. If God asnwered every prayer then obvioulsy there would be an issue just like you have mentioned. Im sure you have heard about the butterfly effect. Imagine if you and i could see the result of every action and clearly see the ripple effect of everything that happens. If so there would be very many things we would not grant for the sake of the overall consequences. Basically if all your wishes were granted there probaly would be more harm than good at the end of the day. Just read the book of Job. Again if you are going to quote a verse please quote it accurately and in context. Please do not be intellectually dishonest Bonnie by mis representing a quote. The full verse is from John chapter 14 and verse 13. The whole chapter is Jesus addressing people who fully believe in Him and how He then dwells in them . He then goes on to say that " whoever believes in me will also do the works that i am doing and even greater , for whoever asks for anything IN MY NAME will be granted SO THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED"... You see it? The reason God answers prayers is not simply because we ask, He asnswers prayers based on two things in this account, if the prayer is asked in HIS name to imply the person believes and is acting in accordance with Gods will and that the answer to the prayer will glorify God and His nature NOT our own. So you cannot say because your prayers are not granted always that God does not answer prayers and therefore probably does not exist. Your presumtion on how and why prayers are answered is wrong. So prayers are not answered based on our sincere personal will. Just like Jesus said , the will has to be alined with God's will.

[@didipip8054]

@@Kimkong2 I think the answer you gave is inconsistent. If god answers your prayer than that's proof that god answers prayers. If he doesn't answer your prayer than that means it wasn't his will. You've thrown logic and reasoning right out the windows with this fallacy. You've set up an unfalsifiable claim. Example: I am a true fortune teller. If what I tell you comes true than great! that's proof that i'm a fortune teller. If it doesn't come true it's because you didn't have enough faith in my powers. Or maybe the universe decided to change your fortune last second. By your logic I can believe in so many false things, and more importantly I can be taken advantage of by so many people. I'm gonna have to give you a thumbs down on this one Fred :)

@@didipip8054 How is it not logical? If you ask your father for somethinhg and it aligns also with what he wants for you, won't he give you what you ask because what you ask also aligns with what he wants for you?. If its not what he wants for you won't he not give it to you? Nowhere have i said that God does not answer your prayer because you lack faith. You have assumed i said that then proceded to deny what you THINK i have said. To your point about the fortune teller, your ability to tell fortunes should not be hindered by anybodys belief or lack there of. Assuming anyone actually can. So obviously anyone that lacks belief should not hinder any fortune tellers fortunes and they should take effect anyway. Now give me back my thumbs up. I didnt take away yours when you sent an unintentional reply XD. Also its not MY answer, its the answer Jesus gave according to John.

Cliffe has successfully demonstrated that he doesnt understand the difference between intuitive knowledge and scientific. He keeps saying that order and design point to a "designer". I understand why he says this but the problem is that this is a claim based on intuition, not science. Our intuition tells us that there must be a grand designer that designed all, because apparently the quality of being designed implies a designer. Hey Cliffe, how exactly do you demonstrate this? How exactly do you test this in a way that provides repeatable results? Just because something feels true, doesn't make it true until we investigate it aka apply the scientific method. Has anyone ever observed things being created by all powerful designers? Before we can be reasonably certain of a claim it is pertinent we test it first. How do we go about testing the designer claim? Unless Cliffe can provide an actual method to test his claims, they will remain as unsubstantiated claims influenced by his intuition. Intuition is not a special path to truth. We learn more about the universe by making observations, forming hypothesis and testing said hypothesis. "Order and design implying a creator" is just a weak appeal to intuition that any decently intelligent individuals l can see right through. Sorry Cliffe, do better.

In other words christianity an other religions are incompatible. Either Jesus was truth or he wasn't. That choice in faith is up to each to determine for themselves.

Cliffe asks a great question when he says "any historian who tells you, that the New Testament is not historically accurate", he asks the question, .."why would you say that"? .. Quite rightly, as he says, many historians question the New Testament gospels because they contain supernatural miracles.. from what I've seen in my life, we don't see supernatural miracles occur, therefore, it brings the New Testament into question as a truthful historical document. Added to that, we know that humans have a propensity to exaggerate or to think they've seen a miracle when in fact, what they actually witnessed had a perfectly rational and natural explanation. Humans we know are also easily persuaded by something which sounds convincing or something that they want to be true.. there are various reasons why some historians don't take the New Testament as historical. I'm more than happy to take parts of the NT as true, but not the magical bits..I'd need a lot more convincing. eg: how on earth do you go about proving that Jesus floated up into the clouds in front of a few of his supporters?

[@johndavis7078]

Hello Tom, Just wanted to drop you a short reply to this. I think you are at "The wrong starting line" in regards to prayer. Prayers are not intended to be a Christians wish list. I heard praying is intended to be the way we stay in relationship with God. So if you look at prayers as a wishlist that may or may not be answered, that is the wrong starting point. But if you enter praying time as a way to be in relationship with your Heavenly Father.... That is the correct place to start. Have a good day!

[@JohnCashin]

That's right Tom, and there's a lot of detail contained within the miracles stories that beg to be questioned in terms of accuracy. For example, let's presume that at least, something LIKE the 'feeding of the multitudes' somehow happened. Now, 5000 or even 4000 (as it also said) is a STAGGERING number of people. Loaves and fishes being multiplied miraculously to one side for a moment, I would have to wonder who counted all of those followers or if this was just a grossly inflated figure or just plain guesswork on the part of the authors??? Bearing all of that in mind and at the risk of sounding like a lawyer in a courtroom here😃 , would it be inconceivable to suggest that maybe there were MUCH LESS than 5000 people? More like say, a few hundred at the most? Would it also be inconceivable to suggest that maybe there were a lot more than five loaves and two fishes?? That they may have been a LITTLE short on food but not as short as the author's claim? Would it be unreasonable of me to suggest that perhaps what this man that was called Jesus Christ of Nazareth ACTUALLY did at the time was to divide whatever food was there in a very unusual and clever way which meant that everyone got something and then when they came to writing the story, the authors of the Gospels blew it up into more than what REALLY happened in order to sell the idea of him being divine? Does that sound plausible?

To use Occams razor, that would be the least likely answer given that there are much more rational explanations.

Maybe Christians don't have the same skepticism that you and I have when it comes to the Bible. When you hear these stories for the first time as a child, they are spellbinding and convincing, esp as they're being told to us by adults who genuinely believe them, so naturally, you believe them aswell.
