First of all, where do scientific laws come from? Why are there laws in the natural universe that have remained the same for thousands of years? If the world is just some random popped out blizzard, then why are there all these natural laws? There should be no gravity, no physics, no dimensions, no entropy, no time, no aging. Why did mother nature condemn us with the idea that we only live for a set amount of time? Not only that, but towards the end, we experience entropy--we deteriorate. We should just be ageless particles randomly roaming the universe. Secondly, where does language come from--the idea of communicating? Did mother nature speak to the rest of the universe and say, "Come on, guys, we need to get together and explode! We need to create our first atom!" Language is a marvel. If we came from nothing, we should say nothing. We should have no purpose, and no expression. But that's not true. We express ourselves, we experience feelings, and we have creativity. None of these are necessary. So why do we have them? Thirdly, and most important, where does evil come from? Why is a person tempted? If there was no purpose but just some random explosion, then there should be no right and no wrong. Where does temptation fit in the world of reality? If a person does something bad, it's just as real as if he didn't do it. For instance, if a person is tempted to lie, he can decide. If he lies it's just as real as if he didn't lie. So why are human beings tempted?

Every day we communicate. It's pretty obvious. You have a language inside you called your DNA. That's a language and it creates your very being. Everyone knows about DNA. These are basics. And everyone who ever walked the face of this earth has known temptation. It's something that goes along with being human. And now that you're asking about which god to serve....people asked that question thousands of years ago. It's nothing new.

99% of the atheist arguments i've ever faced were: 1 - "I believe in science", which doesn't answer anything and it's not a mutually exclusive thing; 2 - "Many Christians do bad things", even though the bible itself says that will be the case and that does not prove anything; 3 - "you believe in talking snakes and donkeys", without realizing applying materialistic logic to something obviously not natural is dumb; 4 - my favorite ones, horribly misquoting bible verses by taking them completely out of context and botching their interpretation. As a former atheist, getting into philosophy changed my mind, when i noticed how cheap and weak most of the arguments by the "four horsemen" were, how sterile materialism as an idea is, and how my 15 year old "skeptic" phase wasn't very rational and logically sound whatsoever.

The rise of materialism and "rationalism" (actually just empiricism in disguise) has made people dumber. So many people nowadays are just incapable of grasping abstract or philosophical concepts that people even just a hundred years ago would have had no problem understanding. What's worse, these new "philosophers" think they're smart for "seeing through the bull crap" when they're really just too stupid to understand something that doesn't have a scientific paper written on it. The only philosophies they seem to engage with are the "edgy" ones like nihilism and absurdism, which are also probably the least complex philosophies out there. All they really say is "life is too wacky and complicated, I'm not even going to try and make sense of it."

@@hydraph4843 As Atheist Nobel Prize winning physiologist George Wald, wrote candidly in 1954: “When it comes to the origin of life, we have only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution; the other is a supernatural creative act of God. There is no third possibility. … Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved 100 years ago by Louis Pasteur, Spelazani, Reddy and others. That leads us scientifically to only one possible conclusion - that life arose as a supernatural creative act of God. … I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.” As you can see, the reality is Atheism is also a belief system similar to any other religious systems. Fortunately for us, most Nobel Prize winners in science is not prideful enough to deny this reality. "A little knowledge makes men atheists; but a more thorough acquaintance with the sciences brings them back again to religion." (Francois Bacon a staunch Christian; father of empiricism, developed scientific method) Albert Einstein said, "In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views." In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000, about 65.3% of Physics Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background. (4.7% for atheist, agnostics, and freethinkers) In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000, about 72.5% of Chemistry Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background. (7.1% for atheist, agnostics, and freethinkers) In an estimate by Baruch Shalev, between 1901 and 2000, about 62% of Medicine Nobel prize winners were either Christians or had a Christian background. (8.9% for atheist, agnostics, and freethinkers) Ernest Walton 1903 - 1995. A devout Methodist, who said science was a way of knowing more about God. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics after he artificially split the atom and proved that E = mc2. J. J. Thomson 1856 - 1940. A practicing Anglican who prayed and read the Bible daily. Discovered the electron; invented one of the most powerful tools in analytical chemistry - the mass spectrometer; Charles Babbage 1791 - 1871. A Protestant devotee who devoted a chapter of his autobiography to a discussion of his faith. The father of the computer, invented the Analytical Engine, a Turing Complete computer in 1837 - the first general purpose computer. Werner Heisenberg 1901 - 1976. A Lutheran with deep Christian convictions. One of the primary creators of quantum mechanics. Formulated the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Humphry Davy 1778 - 1829. Said that God’s design was revealed by chemical investigations. Discovered the electrical nature of chemical bonding. Used electricity to split several substances into their basic building blocks for the first time, discovering chlorine and iodine; produced the first ever samples of the elements barium, boron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and strontium. Other earlier scientists before 1900 who consider themselves committed Christians include: Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783) Published more mathematics than any other single mathematician in history, much of it brilliant and groundbreaking. Michael Faraday (1791 - 1867) Discovered electromagnetic induction; discovered the first experimental link between light and magnetism James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879) Transformed our understanding of nature: his famous equations unified the forces of electricity and magnetism, indicating that light is an electromagnetic wave. Gregor Mendel (1822 - 1884) Founded the science of genetics; identified many of the mathematical rules of heredity; identified recessive and dominant traits. Bernhard Riemann (1826 - 1866) Transformed geometry providing the foundation of Einstein’s theory of general relativity; the Riemann hypothesis has become the most famous unresolved problem in mathematics. Isaac Newton (1643 to 1727) spent more time on Bible study than math and physics. Profoundly changed our understanding of nature with his law of universal gravitation and his laws of motion; invented calculus; Willard Gibbs (1839 - 1903) Invented vector analysis and founded the sciences of modern statistical mechanics and chemical thermodynamics. John Dalton (1766 - 1844) Dalton’s Atomic Theory is the basis of chemistry; discovered Gay-Lussac’s Law relating temperature, volume, and pressure of gases; discovered the law of partial gas pressures. Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777 - 1855) believed science revealed the immortal human soul and that there is complete unity between science and God. His profound contributions to the physical sciences include Gauss’s Law & Gauss’s Law for Magnetism. Florence Nightingale (1820 - 1910) Transformed nursing into a respected profession; used statistics to analyze wider health outcomes; advocated sanitary reforms largely credited with adding 20 years to life expectancy between 1871 and 1935. Alessandro Volta (1745 - 1827) Invented the electric battery; wrote the first electromotive series; isolated methane for the first time. Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) Pascal’s wager justifies belief in God. Devised Pascal’s triangle for the binomial coefficients and co-founded probability theory. Invented the hydraulic press and the mechanical calculator. Samuel Morse (1791 - 1872) Took part in the invention of a single-wire telegraph and patented it. Developed the Morse code. William Thomson (also known as Lord Kelvin) (1824 - 1907) who Codified the first two laws of thermodynamics, deduced the absolute zero of temperature is -273.15 °C. and many more.. Einstein said in correspondence, "the fanatical atheists...are like slaves who are still feeling the weight of their chains which they have thrown off after hard struggle. They are creatures who-in their grudge against the traditional 'opium of the people'-cannot hear the music of the spheres." Dr Arno Penzias(Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist): “I invite you to examine the snapshot provided by half a century’s worth of astrophysical data and see what the pieces of the universe actually look like…In order to achieve consistency with our observations we must…assume not only creation of matter and energy out of nothing, but creation of space and time as well. The best data we have are exactly what I would have predicted had I nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible as a whole.” Allan Rex Sandage (famous astronomer, dubbed the 'Grand Old Man of Cosmology' by the New York Times, and a former atheist): “It was my science that drove me to the conclusion that the world is much more complicated than can be explained by science. It was only through the supernatural that I could understand the mystery of existence.” To seek God with all our heart is fundamental to God’s revealing himself to us (Jer. 29:13). As the philosopher & famous pascal Blaise Pascal put it: Willing to appear openly to those who seek Him with all their heart, and to be hidden from those who flee from Him with all their heart, He so regulates the knowledge of Himself that He has given signs of Himself, visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not. There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition.

Well, because we as human beings create things, we can compare the way that we create with the way our world exists, and we can find out that the things that are happening in our lives accidentally, they can't be perfect, yet the laws by which nature is ruled are perfect. Even we as humans can't create something that will work perfectly. So, the evidence of God is that our world does have order and design, and if it's ordered and designed, then there must be someone who ordered it and designed it.

One of the biggest issues I have about claims of the supernatural can be summed up by this point about the soul: we are taught that every living thing has a spirit. In addition, we are taught about evolution as well as the embryonic development of individual animals, which is a very "bottom-up" system. However, the soul is something unique to humans and is imparted on us "top-down" by our creator. Why is there this arbitrary shift with the development of humans, and why isn't the human soul a bottom-up emergent property of our evolution and development, as is the case with everything else we observe in nature?

However, I ask: why? If we are willing to admit that a creator has to be infinite, why can't the universe (or the system that created the universe) be infinite, instead? Does there need to be a will behind it all, in the end? Let's be honest with ourselves here: the human mind is a limited thing, and wasn't really up to the task of tackling concepts of the infinite. Regardless of which side of the aisle you are on, you can't really fault the other side for not "getting it."

If God exists then why did he let my milk expire?

[@d.a.d.-ohgosh]

I'm a Christian and I've been asking the same question for years following that fateful day...

[@apubakeralpuffdaddy392]

Why are you blaming God for not drinking or milk on time? Are you going to blame God for failing your test too? The test for which you did not prepare nor study. God is not the cosmic vending machine that gives you all that you want with the right prayer tokens nor is God the genie from Aladdin that grants you your every wish. Take some personal responsibility, lunkhead!

because of the juice

The only, absolutely only, atheist I'm watching is Alex O' Connor. He seems as if he isn't trying to score points and actually knows a lot about Christianity and considers what the "opponent" is saying. Also, have you heard about Jonathan Pageau saying that:"Jordan is obviously not a Christian, he's a heretic"? I tend to believe him since he made a lot of videos and is a friend of Jordan. I guess Jordan, currently, is a Deist of some sort. I appreciate these videos David. One question - Is there more about the story with Randy? I'd love to hear it.

You SEEEEE AP?? this is the PROOOOOOOOF. It isn't the leather straps that are blind but the heart

The most prevalent and deep rooted one I've found is the problem of evil. While it stems from a misunderstanding, and requires a divine definition of good and evil, it certainly resonates powerfully with those who want to dismiss God.

Define evil.

[@rothgang]

@@ClassicJukeboxBand It is impossible to do so without appealing to an ultimate moral authority. Otherwise, evil is whatever I find unfavorable, which, of course, makes ME somehow the ultimate moral arbiter. Obviously this is not true, since good and evil have existed long before I was born. This leaves only a metaphysical being which is eternal and has total authority to be the source of morality.
