The unwillingness to say, "I don't know." Sometimes it's perfectly obvious when someone doesn't know. It shouldn't be painful for anyone to admit if they don't know something. To have Faith means you believe something, but you can't prove it. If you could prove it, you wouldn't call it Faith. Since it can't be proven, it's strange being unable to say "I don't know."

[@BattleBrotherCasten]

Intuition is its own type of knowing.

[@Darth_Tuna]

He said “I don’t know” SEVERAL times

[@KOH777-gp6ut]

Valid point; but God does prove himself in various ways. Also in experiences as real and more powerful than what can be explained. Visions while awake, knowledge shared which is not known to you, love powerful and pure enough to overcome a strong man and put him to the ground in tears. The proof is out there but many do not look or do not want to look for various reasons. In my case it took 49 years of not really looking; though I thought to myself that I had. Jesus is real. Alive and well and he does speak to people in various ways. If you ever get the call; then New Testament and speak to him in earnest and ask him to show you that he is real. He did this when I went to him in pure desperation and when I was willing to ask in earnest and to try things his way. He helped me and he gave me faith as a gift. I could never muscle it up or believe what I could not see and touch. It didn't matter. He is God and he can reveal the truth and he changes hearts and minds. This is my long way of trying to say that you can know.

[@unknown-pmc]

@ 3:25 Why do you want him to specifically say "I don't know" You can read between the lines that he is saying he doesn't fully know, but he doesn't buy into the evolution theory because he believes in God and the word of God which is the Bible, and it pretty much explains generally what we are as Humans and is not favorable to this "something comes from nothing". The Bible also doesn't really delve into the origin of satan or the whole backstory between God and his fallen angles in detail, but gives us enough to know. Same thing with creation, God gives us enough to know.

[@axvan2158]

You're fundamentally flawed and hence in life as well. Christian faith is different in the fact that it has to bear evidences and there are if you seek them with honesty and not with that stupid and lofty attitude. Second, I've learnt of evolution with the best papers out there combined with linguistics, guess what, EVOLUTION IS THE FAIRY TALE, NOT FAITH IN BIBLICAL JESUS.

Creationist viewpoints can indeed be scientifically proven. Joe needs to interview people who are creationist scientists to get more scientific explanations. I've watched lectures on carbon dating and other such things from a creationist viewpoint and in debates and it's very easy to argue against by someone who is educated in this area. Some of us believe God's word by faith because, well , He's "God", He is the Creator. I totally understand looking for answers to our questions so we can believe and God provides answers for us as we search with all our heart. "Search for Me and you will find Me when you search for Me with all your heart". God is the Creator, true science comes through this knowledge. Having heard Joe ask questions about God and Christian beliefs, I truly believe he is searching for more and wants to believe. Praying for Joe to find the Way, the Truth, and the Life 🙏

[@stefanfun]

The problem with these creationist "scientists" is, they all operate opposite to how science is supposed to work. They start with a conclusion, which is that their dogma is true, and then try to reason their way backwards. Being attached to a religious dogma makes the brain do all kinds of irrational loops.

Humans experience time linearly, God does not. It doesn't really matter how much time it took to create the universe, develop life and eventually humans.

[@AP-di6gu]

God told us He created the world in 6 days and the genealogies in Genesis prove that the earth is merely a few thousand years old. He also told us that organisms being forth after their own kind.

Everything else simply buttresses that fact. And don't be fooled; every single field that's even tangentially related to evolution supports its validity. Every single one.

Isn't that really the issue atheistic evolutionists can reason for all they want to, except when they get to the beginning. If it is all and where it started, they come up with some big bang and that still doesn't answer the question where all the elements came from that the Big Bang expressed, and they have no way of knowing. Everybody says that evolution is a scientific theory.

I like your joke, but whether or not evolution is real, and is the origin of the diversity of life on earth, is a seperate question than what caused the big bang, or is there a god. If someone is arguing evolution is real, and you ask what caused the big bang, and he/she doesnt have an answer, that doesn't then discredit evolution. The theory of natural selection aims to explain the origin of species. How all this diversity on earth emerged, what natural laws affect living things, it doesn't answer questions like why does anything exist? Was there a big bang? What/who created the universe? Is there a god? These are seperate questions. Not knowing the answer to a different question doesnt discredit answers given to others.

Yes, and it's called nature. We have looked at life and seen how it is clearly based on an evolution of the species. There is so many stuff in our bodies, and in the bodies of animals, that are pointing to the fact that we once had tails etc. Our entire spine is one of an organism that walked on all fours, which is why you get backpains when you get older: it's literally not made for creatures who walk upright. Now who's to say that god didnt create life trough evolution? We as a species tend to put our own face on thing we don't easily comprehend. Nature somehow isn't good enough - it needs to have the face of a man with a beard sitting on a cloud in the sky.
