You ignore the fact, not all of us can pretend prophesy & God exist. That is why Jesus Christ says, "Think not I come with peace, but sword". It is amusing to hear the profound arrogance of someone knowing of God, as if He were known outside of fiction. The believer & the literate are separated by the vocabulary of fiction: Blasphemy, God, faith, prayer, prophet, scripture etc. Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” I like asking believers how they can possibly think their faith is respectable, given Jesus said faith is worthless, since you can't expect obedience when ordering mountains to move? Freud wrote, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy". "Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall". What is The Catholic faith? Organized crime, indoctrinating children with a fantasyland vocabulary? When men are free of religious notions they write, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy." "My sheep hear My voice" is the mindset of slavery. Once free of it, there are no suggestions we all travel better by having one foot in a stranger's fantasyland or Garden of Eden. A mind free of religious text is not tortured by pretending Divinity made Mormons so Christians would know how Jews feel, having pasted their books on to them both. Those looking for the sign of a resurrection, are a vile, "Wicked Generation" seeking signs, led by "wolves in sheep's clothing". "The only sign is that of Jonah"; a believer murdered by other believers. Chained to the slavery of faith, they write: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13 One must be insanely arrogant to suggest knowing something of a God. It is by boldness, Moses became the world's worst navigator, by having one foot in some fantasyland. There is a fine line between fishing & standing on the shore, looking like an idiot. Fail to get the Jews to buy it for 2000 years & they should know who their Messiah is. Jesus is a fake, to immortalize the war against the Jews. Jesus Christ is crucified for all time in literature & the subjects of Rome are illiterate. Freud wrote, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy" & the joke is in the scriptures. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13 An improvement on your God & faith; would outlaw indoctrination & abuse of the vocabulary of fiction on children.

I was 10 years old in 1996 and sitting with my family at the seatac airport in Washington waiting for a flight to Disneyland and I asked my dad if I could pick out a book in the store by our flight's gate and he said sure, but hurry up and pick one. I grabbed the first book completely based off the front cover and it was Darwin's Black Box by Michael Behe. My dad bought it and actually read it first and gave it back to me and said I won't have any idea what it's about and told me to hold onto it and read it later. 20 years later in 2016 grabbed it out of my dusty closet and I read the book. Not until 2022 did I even discover that James and Stephen on KZbin let alone their association for lack of a better term with Michael Behe. Still blows my mind.

The naturalists complain that God is "off limits" because they can't "put Him in a test-tube". That is of course true... He would not be God if we could put Him in a test-tube. As the Creator, He is transcendent and outside of His creation. So ANY analogy that we try to use to understand Him uses created objects and concepts. Thus they are all doomed to fail beyond the most simplistic and basic levels. Still, I can experience His grace and redemption, I can love Him and be loved, and the most intense hours of worship in my life have come when I stumbled across instances of His infinite wisdom deep within the molecular biology of my cells. It is absolutely stunning...

[@Sparrow-hawk-666]

I'd add that not understanding the underlying cause of nature is not an excuse to invent one. Perhaps nature is its own cause.

The things we do know as well as the things we don't know." That's a very important distinction. Just because we do not know what energy is, what gravity is, and many other natural forces we interact with daily, to say God is behind it, is not a cop out. For He is also behind all the things we can explain mechanically in science. But its just that these particular mysteries leave us with nothing else to talk about except the wonder of creation and giving credit where credit is due. GOD. This is fascinating.

I agree with Dr Meyer's view of miracles - of God not violating any laws. The fact that Jesus walked on the water, not floating above it, illustrates the point perfectly well.

[@Sparrow-hawk-666]

How? And what point?

[@lilianacort8750]

​​​​@@Sparrow-hawk-666 well my hypothesis from looking into it briefly is Jesus was taking advantage of the surface tension and buoyancy. If there is enough pressure going up rather than down into the water it causes the water to go up towards the surface, pushing it up. Causing an object to float on the surface of the water similar to small insects that will walk on water to drink and fly off. But if there is enough pressure going down then it causes the water to push it down like dropping a baseball into a pool of water. So it could be possible he had more oxygen in his body that caused his body to float like a basketball floating on water. Or he had lost enough mass to become light enough to take advantage of the surface tension and buoyancy But again my hypothesis can't explain why it could've happened, only the scriptures told us why, but it's more of how it could've happened.

[@lilianacort8750]

​@Sparrow-hawk-666 Honestly, my hypothesis is, that another scientist also hypothesized, is that there was a thin layer of ice enough to hold Jesus up. Just like bugs when they are able to walk on water the waters temperatures have to be colder for the molecules to start tightening up enough without becoming a solid. The small insects can take advantage of the surface tension and buoyancy. But often when the water is too hot the insect will sink down because the molecules are so spread apart it pulls them down the free spaces. So the father possibly changed the weather conditions to cause the water to be just cold enough to create this thin layer of ice for his sons mass to have the ability to walk on water. This explains the how But what's the why? In scripture Peter was told to come out to the water with Jesus having faith in our Lord.

[@lilianacort8750]

​​​@@Sparrow-hawk-666Honestly, my hypothesis is, that another scientist also hypothesized, is that there was a thin layer of ice enough to hold Jesus up. Just like bugs when they are able to walk on water the waters temperatures have to be colder for the molecules to start tightening up enough without becoming a solid. The small insects can take advantage of the surface tension and buoyancy. But often when the water is too hot the insect will sink down because the molecules are so spread apart it pulls them down into the free spaces. So the father possibly changed the weather conditions to cause the water to be just cold enough to create this thin layer of ice for his sons mass to have the ability to walk on water. This explains the how But what's the why? In scripture Peter was told to come out to the water with Jesus having faith in our Lord. The father could've been proud of Peter to have that amount of faith in his son to walk on water with him so he had made just the right enough of cold temperatures to create the thin ice piece but when he had fear came onto him he had lost his faith in him, remember he is the way to the father so if we dont have faith in him our fathers hand is father from us.

Dr Meyer exhibits an impressive grasp of the nature of miracles in this interview. I am blown away by his insight - you could rightly call it inspiration, or even revelation. I believe he has been blessed by God with this understanding through the power of the Holy Ghost, who's mission is to reveal truth to the mind of man. The critical element of this understanding is that God ALWAYS works within his eternal laws, and never needs, or would, resort to exceptions in order to achieve his purposes. This is an essential characteristic of God: he commands us, his children, to keep his commandments because he knows that we can achieve any righteous desire without needing to resort to disobedience.

Wow, very insightful and I'm only 17 minutes in to the discussion. Here's what is striking me now.... in regards to what is being laid out as miracles/ God's intervention; the concept of faith keeps recurring to me. Could it be that faith itself has physical properties that apply in the realm of physics? The Red Sea parted after Moses displayed faith by raising his staff, likewise the miracles before Pharaoh. Peter, displayed the faith of Yeshua on the stormy sea, for a few moments... Joshua and the Hebrews at Jericho.... And later at "the long day of Joshua". Over and over and over, this is demonstrated. Even in teachings.... "faith moves mountains" etc Perhaps faith, while spiritual, also has mass, momentum, and other physical properties that God chooses to use to exert His will on His creation?

Dr Tour and Dr Meyer, I admire you both tremendously but to claim Newton was a trinitarian is a far stretch and untrue. Newton believed Christ had divinity as he was the son of God, begotten by the Father. He did not believe he was co- equal and of the same substance as God but the son now seated at the right hand of the Father who will return to the earth. Newton was clearly Christian, but Christianity is not determined by the belief in the trinity. As Simon (Peter) said of Jesus, you are the messiah, the son of the living God

[@Sparrow-hawk-666]

What I'd ask you, is why believe in any religion at all? What's the evidence for any of the thousands of religions humans have claimed to be true? It's none at all.

[@JohnvanRensburg]

@@Sparrow-hawk-666 The choice to believe in a religion is from the sense that their must be more to our existance than being born, reacting to the world try to achieve some sense of fulfillment and then dying obliterating any attainment of of morality and ethical or spiritual development. I suppose the choice of religion is significantly effected by the time, geographic location and family / cultural environment in which one is born. My choice and belief is in that God has given us the option to choose life eternal over death, through belief in that his son died as an atonement for our sins and that God raised him from the dead as he will us. If you choose not to believe, that is fine but you then do no share the same hope. Through the choice of Christianity, your faith and believe in a higher morality helps you attain a higher morality and ethics thus improving this world as we know it. Belief also gives one a sense of purpose, fulfillment and comfort improving one's own view and life in significant ways. Thus it is a win win all around and highly recommend

[@Sparrow-hawk-666]

@@JohnvanRensburg Well, I don't believe that belief is really a choice. For example, I can't bring myself to believe that mutually contradictory propositions are true at the same time. When someone does believe in contradictory propositions, such as a god being simultaneously omnibenevolent and omnipotent, I think they do it on the basis of emotion rather than reason. They don't choose their belief, they adopt it because they need to believe in a higher power and purpose. Religious believers are welcome to their beliefs, it's not my intent to deconvert anyone and I've no illusions I can do that, but the danger posed is by those believers who also believe a theocracy is good policy, because then they force others to live by their own personal prejudices. As for Pascal's wager, that's been criticised every which way possible. If you're making bets, then your belief isn't sincere; and if you believe in the wrong god out of the thousands proposed, then you're damned anyway, so might as well believe in none.

“ That seems pretty clear” 😂. All After a long wandering uncomfortable convoluted attempt to answer the question did Isaac Newton hold Arianism views. The quote from Isaac Newton itself fits neatly within the Arian framework. Earlier a premise was thrown out that Arianism Doesn’t believe Christ is divine. That is a clumsy strawman if I’ve ever seen one. Under Arianism Christ is divine. Isaac Newton’s theological views shared similarities with those of Arius, particularly regarding the origin of Jesus. Newton believed that Jesus had a distinct origin from God the Father, suggesting a subordinate relationship between them. Like Arius, Newton’s perspective implied that there was a time when Jesus did not exist as a divine being, aligning with the notion of Jesus having an actual origin rather than being co-eternal with God. In the General Scholium (mentioned in this video), Isaac Newton explores the concept of godship as a relative concept, but emphasizing Almighty God’s absolute authority and power. In a footnote, Newton references Jesus quoting from Psalms, suggesting that Jesus identified himself as divine in a limited sense, akin to others who’ve been considered divine throughout history. This illustrates Newton’s nuanced understanding of divinity and his interpretation of Jesus’s role in relation to God the Father. Isaac Newton believe that only God the Father, YHWH, Yahweh, Jehovah is the Almighty God. There’s only one religion that holds the same views of Isaac Newton regarding the True God and his Son.

[@DartNoobo]

I am sure there are unitarians beyond JWs, who are the most famous group to hold that view. I saw debates between Trinitarians and unitarians who were not JWs

[@Tiredcoffee1]

Unitarians do not hold a proper view of Christ Jesus and the glorious role he has had for billions of years. I understanding is that they believe in a form of adoptionism And they don’t believe Christ had a prehuman existence. Newton believed Christ had a prehuman existence as the logos.

[@emmanuel8310]

That's not really true though. Arianism says Jesus is of different "substance" (oiusa). Newton stays away from that word completely. He's just not into the Arianism Trinitarian debate. He's of a different category on his own. 2. Newton says Jesus is worthy of worship while Arianism denies Jesus being worshipped.

[@Tiredcoffee1]

@@emmanuel8310 please let me know in which of his works that he says that Jesus should be worshiped. If he’s discussing The greek proskyneō (reverence, obeisance, etc.) That falls in line with what I understand that he believes along with Arianism and what Jehovah’s Witnesses believe. Isaac Newton believed that God the Father, Jehovah, was the sole Pantokrator (Παντοκράτωρ), meaning the Creator of all things. He saw the Father as the ultimate force behind the universe’s design and order. The fact that Isaac Newton doesn’t delve into the 4th century rebranded Ousia (essence) as you mentioned is clear indication that he didn’t hold it to be scriptural. For someone as prolific as himself writing so much about the Bible why would he avoid it. If he believed in shared essence, we would have a lot of writings from him on it.

[@Tiredcoffee1]

@@DartNoobo Unitarians reject the Trinity as Isaac Newton and Arius did, but Unitarians believe in adoptionism where they do not believe Christ had a prehuman existence.

Ah, the Dynamic Duo from Discovery! What nonsense will they preach at us today? I can't wait - well, actually I can, because I'm not going to stay awake for this one. Isaac Newton was raised as an Anglican in the 18th century, graduated through a course at Trinity College, Cambridge, that should have forced him to become ordained, celibate, and recognise the 39 articles of the Church of England - a far cry from the evangelical Protestants of Tour and Meyer fame. He managed to avoid that with some help from sympathisers in the government of the day. It's good to be connected to influential politicians! Eventually, he became at the very most, a deist, denying trinitarianism or any other theology of the Tour/Meyer sort. And no, despite the silly title of this podcast, Newton's laws of motion didn't come from his devout reading of a bible or religion he didn't entirely believe in, but from an observation of natural events. At the very most, he considered natural laws were established by a "Deity", not by a Jesus. Apparently, he didn't even believe in an immortal soul - god, that must frustrate Tour and Meyer, except, of course, they'll skip right over that and pretend it never happened. Finally, he did his work in the 18th century, before Darwin's insights of the 19th century, and physics today has advanced 300 years since Newton's insights into how natural laws work, an insight Tour and Meyer have yet to experience. One wonders what Newton's mind could have conceived had he known what we - Tour and Meyer aside - know today?

If I make a scientific claim, then I have to provide details as to the circumstances and processes followed to make the observation, then anyone can test it for themselves. Scientific claims can be tested and repeated by other scientists. That's how scientific claims get confirmed or, more often, disproven. Religion is based on mythology, which cannot be tested or observed independently. Mythology consists of fables written for a variety of purposes lost in the mists of time. They tell stories that cannot be verified in the present, and often feature magic (aka miracles in Christian-speak) and other super-human claims that are completely untestable today, and unverifiable from independent historical sources. No-one even knows who wrote the gospels of Christianity, for example, or when they were written, and modern science has proven that a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis is simply false. So what could it possibly mean? No-one knows, so theologians just make stuff up that sounds vaguely plausible. You as Christians don't believe the magical claims of other religions.

[@Sparrow-hawk-666]

Speaking as a biologist who did research for several years, I can't say I've ever felt that. The light that evolutionary theory shed on biology was a remarkable explanatory tool, and when it was coupled to biochemistry and molecular genetics, the resulting structure was so scientifically formidable that it has stood solidly for 150-odd years. Still, I sympathise, as biology is a science that operates 99.9% at classical scales, where we rarely have to consider quantum events. I don't envy any physics teacher having to explain quantum to a high school or early college class.
