"Smartest" Man in the World says a Personal God Exists - Reaction

[@Bruce-ph9nq]

The issue is he’s reversing the law of causality in his approach to foundational axioms. Consciousness isn’t conscious of itself in a vacuum. Self-awareness happens after the grasp of existential concepts occurs. Once a consciousness perceives a universe of entities external to it then it can go on to grasp the distinction between existence and the awareness of it. You can’t grasp consciousness if nothing exists to be conscious of.

I found your observations insightful and nuanced. I am highly suspicious of anyone claiming to be "the smartest person in the world". These gentlemen seem ponderus, pompous and vague, no different than so many others who would impose their dogmatic beliefs on others. If their faith provides comfort in their own lives, fine; but I will look elsewhere for true wisdom. As a scientist, I take strong exception to his misuse and vernacularization of precise mathematical and scientific terms to advance vague concepts. It's just more word salad to me and a waste of time for the most part.

Thank you, Robert. I always appreciate your contributions.

If it's a waste of time, then how much time did you waste writing your "pompous" comment?

(No offense to Christianity) There is definitely God and the suns, stars, forests, etc. are all God's creations. Idol worship is something strange and meaningless to me. Because idols are made by humans themselves, and how can that thing be your God? My religion (Islam) is like this and it is true that God is one and has no partner. Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus (peace be upon them) were humans who were sent by God to guide people and did not have the status of God. And all the miracles they performed and their powers were all done by God's permission. Anyway... I met you through Aurora React videos. I hope you show more Aurora React videos. (I also know that you do this a lot)

I think Aurora is absolutely wonderful! Thanks for the comment.

Truth is the fundamental of what reality is or the heart of truth. Truth or reality has only one supreme origin, but there are many facets, rationality is one facet, logic is another, and reasonableness another, His truth or reality is ever constant and forever in control of the physical universe. Humans for the most part are corrupted with irrational denial of truth or reality claiming to have their own ideas of reality, saying, “that’s your reality not mine”, they declare! Some say “reality is what you make it”, which in the eyes of The Supreme Source of truth and the reality of our existence here on this planet, means nothing at all! Nothing from nothing = nothing! 0+0=0, nothing again. Yet men on this planet, say more or less that everything came out of nothing from a single infinitely small point of something which became everything, which is by anyone in their right mind is irrational and ludicrous. This is the kind of worldly wisdom that comes from the world of men, exchanging unreasonable, illogical, and irrationality for the so-called wisdom of science, which really isn’t science at all, because it’s not the truth, it’s not reality, but is denial because they would have to answer to a higher source for the reality of truth. And that is something they refuse to do, which makes the people on this planet, rebellious and out of order but that situation very soon now will be straightened out in a way that billions people on this planet aren’t going to like very much.

Utter nonsense, of course.

You say, pure speculation, only to put limits on what is expressed as a reality in a way your prejudices can't unconsciously or consciously agree with. That is only due to the intellectual limits of your minds prejudices created by yourself. You use the word belief to support the box you are trapped in or the narrative you have chosen to define reality. If I belief a truck is coming down a road according to you it may not be so simply because belief of itself is unsupported by realism or facts, but no one believes something outside of evidence this is in this case an assumption on your part. The whole thing is tedious for you (this is not an insult) because you have a limited ability for understanding you simply lack the skills to be mentally adroit enough to understand.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

[@johannesdippenaar5087]

I watch your face while listening to the two gentlemen. I feel sorry for you. Please listen to the videos and read the books of John Lennox and Stephan Meyer.

[@chikkipop]

Neither Lennox or Meyer should be listened to, as their arguments for a "god" are nonsense. Wishful thinking is common, even among otherwise intelligent people, who are as susceptible to emotional need as anyone else.

[@johannesdippenaar5087]

@chikkipop I feel sorry for you too. It must be a burden to know so much . Maybe one day you will see the real light. May you be blessed.

[@chikkipop]

@@johannesdippenaar5087 Yer so funny! But seriously, isn't it more of a burden to *know so little?* *"Maybe one day you will see the real light."* I think if someone is going to speak of seeing *"the real light"* they ought to take a moment to tell someone what that real light is. After all, you never know who you might help! *"May you be blessed."* Could you possibly tell me what that means? It may be that I just don't understand something that you could help me with!
