The biggest learning that I've come to in the last 12 months since giving up athiesm and doing a deep dive in apologetics is the realisation that there are multiple ways TO LOGICALLY arrive at not only God's existence but to the triune God that Jesus preached about. Athiesm is one of the most self refuting and illogical worldviews out there.

[@ISATŌP1]

Have you come to the Realization that Christ is the Life of Your Being, and not something in a man 2,000 years ago?? Through the false sense of the belief we are human mortal being, the purpose is to lie about the immortal omnipresence of God.... This false belief in a human mortal existence separate and apart from the Infinite Spirit of God Conscioisness that you truly are is what is meant to be OVERCOME..... We must Remove the False Mortal Image of a mortal ME separate and apart from God.... Every communication Unfolding from God within is to encourage the Spirit/Soul die to the False Sense of Mortal Self, as the Purpose of the Soul is to take Dominion over our only Adversary, the World Mind and it's thoughts tempting us to believe mortality/form/decay is reality.... Where everything mortal appears to be, Only the Infinite, Omnipresent Spirit of God is... I and the Father are One!! Once able to accept this mortal Experience is for the Immortal Soul and not the mortal sense of self, one ultimately comes to the Virginal Realization that the Spirit of God is the Only Life, and that I am the Infinte Spirit of God, as Jesus, John, Paul, Moses, Elijah, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Shankara, Meister Eckhart, Madam Guyon, Fenelon, and many more have done....

You do realise hes pushing a false interpretation of where the scientific community stands, he's making false claims as true and ignoring the fact that in science we do not deny god, we just don't bring a god into the equation because there is absolutely no evidence to suggest one and no reason to otherwise, unfortunately the followers of these videos often are brainwashed by religion to think complexity, design etc all need a creator when that is simply not true.

Proof enough!

[@genome616]

@@christinagrabner4451 Evolution is its own design tool allowing natural selection through survival of the fittest, no physical designer needed only a given set of rules, I can create a computer program to follow similar rules and give complex outcomes and yes I did create the program but that is not my point, nature too can create it own rules and end with complex systems given enough time. This closed minded idea that everything you experience has to have some intelligent creator is the result of your indoctrination when I can personally demonstrate how simple rules of nature can lead to very complex observations and outcomes without a designer, the laws of physics and universal constants set their own conditions for natural complexity, just because we do not know why these laws exist as they do does not mean we shout God, science does not need, use or consider a god as nothing observational or evident to imply there is one.

@@aaronbenavides1169 You believe in magic. You have been brainwashed a million times without realizing it. Do you know what the true purpose of the church is? It's not to save your soul. Souls don't exist. They are magical body parts that don't correspond to reality. Many people in the world are under the delusion that souls exist, without ever investigating it to see if they're being misled or not. The purpose of the church is to scam people out of their wealth. They demand 10% of your income as a tithe, and more if they really don't care about hurting people. Kenneth Copeland was a charlatan long before he became a scam pastor. He's worth $800 million, owns several private jets, lives in a mansion, and doesn't pay a penny in taxes, because it's a church write-off. He makes money by lying to your grandmother and convincing her to fork over her limited income, such as a social security check. Every pastor or priest or imam or rabbi is some version of that. If they lie for money, they are frauds. If they do it under the false authority of cultural myths, the government gives them the right to swindle anyone they want for any amount, and never have to pay a tax on it. The founders' lack of foresight has ruined this country.

I've been a biochemist for over 20 years, and it never ceases to amaze me that so many humans think that what we see, study, understand and test is the penultimate to all things in the universe. Consider for a moment that our minds are miniscule in the grand concept of life and the universe and there are so many things that are way above our ability to understand. The more I learn and study science the more I realize how damn much we're still struggling to understand

[@alisacarideo1984]

I will help you simply. There are 2 realities. The natural, which we see and touch, etc. But there is the super natural…which is usually invisible, unless they , the “beings become visible.” I myself am able to see the supernatural world, as they manifest themselves to me for 45 years…and there are millions of proof, they have and do appear over all of history to millions of people! So my point is…since 2 realities do in fact exist…then this proves that God exists! It’s not rocket science. I and the others who know, see, are touched by ‘them” prove God is the Truth…these other beings are either good or bad angels. If you want more proof…explain how your lips, tongue, and voice box make “sound.” Sound exists, yet it is not visible…but it’s there! Now take that to the next level…God’s invisible qualities prove He is real…how do you argue with all this proof I gave you!

[@chrisoakey9841]

And the argument that we now know is hilarious. Science helps us understand the systems god created. But seriously we cant fully explain light or gravity yet. The closest theory of Einstein's relativity falls apart in the macro, and quantum. Because space in the nacro is expanding faster than light because of gravity which is limited to the speed of light. But even if we completely figure something out just shows gods creation, not takes over from it.

Greetings to you John Lennox, it has been quite some time since I seen you, good to see you, this was a long discussion, you definitely are chatty and still sharp of mind, I will be checking out your other recent discussions such as 'Can Science explain everything'

[@markuse3472]

I love it. It is also good for him and us that he is able to still remain mentally sharp at his age, remembering every question asked of him and answering them with precise specifics.

If God powerful,Merciful,and Love us, why the holocaust 6 million Jews the chosen people killed,the hurricane, wars ,diseases, why he allows all this suffering, its seems that he has no power at all. Matter has sconsciousness, cannot be created nor destroyed. The Universe according to NASA is 13+ billions years old,the Mahabaratha of India 330 Trillion years old better than NASA, I say the Universe has no begining and has no end,its forever. Matter change form thru time. The Genesis say 6000 year old which is rediculous, better study some more Dr. Lennox!

I love John's talks because they make me think! They take me on thought journeys that I have never traveled before. We are so blessed to have such a Christ filled man teaching us new and revealing insights on topics that we never thought existed or if they do he explains them in a simple concise way that we can understand. Thank you John, keep up the good work!

The agent vs the function explanation is simply brilliant. My car functions by internal combustion, but my car equally operates because (agency) I need to go to the store. So there is a how and a why which are equally important.

This is a great example of someone starting with a preconceived notion and then finding a few ideas that can be made to fit them.

[@ingoditrust7784]

Your logic is poor: who conceived the preconceived notion? Why? How? When? How do you know? You were there and witnessed it all? How do you know everything you learned? From preconceived teaching.

[@StudentDad-mc3pu]

@@ingoditrust7784 A bizarre comment! Just listen to him and you can hear his backwards logic - in fact, he avoids saying anything that would stand up as a syllogism.

[@ingoditrust7784]

@@StudentDad-mc3pu bizarre? Preconceived refers to a point in time, such as a trial, etc. so if a judge decides on an outcome ahead of due process, such a decision would qualify as preconceived. To return to your own position, if someone believes in God it's preconception. Yet there are historic and scientifically investigated facts which we believers study before making up our minds. There is also written tradition: most of what we accept in our belief system relies on generations and generations of witnesses, credible ones at that. When you on the other hand decide to believe Dickie Dawkie on life coming out of "rock and sand", not only do you accept a preposterous idea, but also a very illogical one: we all know from observation that there is no tendency for stuff to come out of chaos and start evolving towards complex order. Yes, snow crystals do that, but they are not living matter. Everything degenerates in nature, nothing starts organizing spontaneously. Ever. So logic dictates that we look for causality, not far-fetched pseudo-plausibility.

[@GeekOfShaves]

​@@vladtheemailer3223 and yet no one has proved God is not real either, and I argue this is a debate that can never be won in either direction. That does not mean we can not live in unison, agreeing to disagree respectfully is the key and needs to be practiced by all parties. What is, and is not real is all in our head, feelings and personal experiences. No one lives the life we do, so their reality is always going to be different.

[@GeekOfShaves]

@@vladtheemailer3223 You understand that the whole point of politics is to have control and push your viewpoints. Whether thats to push Christianity in your argument, or Islam, or even Atheism (as a belief system and therefore religion as pointed out in this). The problem here is the fact the two (beliefe and politics) are intersecting, and being used in a psychological way to try and garner votes. Of course life is never simple and things do overlap, but try to understand what it is you really object to. I think in this case its the imposing of politicians rather than the subject, I am sure you can think if other things they are pushing you are also not happy with. Don't be misdirected by them, that's how all con artists work 😉

[@bradharper5397]

What I learned from this discussion is that there two types of evidence- 1: empirical objective and 2: faith based subjective . How we choose to define our thoughts and lead our lives will depend on how we choose what evidence is sufficient for us.

Have you been in a Doomsday Cult? If not, there's literally *more to life* than what you've experienced. But is that a good reason to join a Doomsday Cult?
