@11:29 - the Psalmists do talk about how "the heavens declare the glory of the LORD" and it is mistranslated 'universe' to promote the heliocentric model. The word 'heavens' is not synonymous with the word 'universe'. In prior translations it reads, "the firmament declares God's handiwork" but more of the argument here is that the sun, if a hydrogen ball of gasses burning for millennia, has been burning long before the earth was formed by gravitational forces and elements colliding, but God explains that the sun is a light placed in the firmament long after the earth was established, then how can you reconcile the rest of the Bible as truth if you reject the "beginning".

The Bible is a book of mysteries and life concealed by God for those filled with the Holy Spirit to search the hidden things of God. Even science is a search of the hidden concealed things of God, if only they did it while acknowledging the creator 😂. God is The Great Unapproachable Light and the world was created out of that Great Light for a purpose( the pleasure of God), not some random Big Bang.

The question how do you know the Christian God is the right God? Answer …prophecy God declares the end from the beginning so that when it comes to pass you know He is God. Time space and matter are tied together. God progressively reveals Himself in His word proving He is the first cause and transcends the material world. Observation of the material world will give you general revelation and points to His attributes, but it’s prophecy the gives special Revelation.

In fact, the noise of the bang has been so loud and disturbing that we eventually invented very efficient soundproof gadgets to protect our hearing. So, you see, there was a beginning. Consequently, the question should not be Who Created God, rather the more appropriate question is; What was God Doing Before the Beginning? My humble opinion is that He was thinking, making plans about his future creation, and gathering all the material that he was going to bang...

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

​@@spamm0145Nope. I'm an atheist and I don't believe all matter came from nothing. So your reply is obviously false. I don't know what "complexity beyond human capabilities" means. Are you familiar with Cellular Automatons? Very simple rules can produce complexity "beyond human capability". Many natural processes are very complex. This doesn't require any design, even if you assert it. I'd love to see your argument for WHY such complexity requires intelligent design, but I know you'll just spout the same nonsense as other theist. Finally, similar to the point of the video, if you're saying that complexity requires design, then who designed God? If you get to say it's just a brute fact that God is complex, then I get to say it's a brute fact that the universe is complex. No free lunches.

@17:37 - it is one thing for a person to profess being created in "the image of God" and accept that but reject other revelations of the creator to us about ourselves and from whence we came and the order of those. and another thing for a person to reject everything, but there is still hope for them both. I was once one of them, too. All you need is God. God is love. Therefore the Beatles affirm, all you need is God, because God is love. All you need is love. God is all you need. God is all you need. God is all we need. @18:20 - thoughts....no. God spoke words. God didn't think to himself, God spoke words and revealed himself to us with words. God speaks. Also to say to yourself this it is presumptuous and boastful - you cannot have the thoughts that God has. for the scriptures say, "God said, my ways are not your ways and my thoughts are not your thoughts" - much of what we do know is in the realm of 'forbidden knowledge' because God didn't intend for us to complicate our time with understanding the workings of things, we are just to know they work for our good and God is the One who set them in motion for us. These forbidden truths were passed to us from the ones who left their first domain and began to mingle with mankind. That's another discussion into accepting what God's word says as opposed to what men say the word of God says.

@3:47 - reducing God to your own understanding and then questioning who/what created God. this in and of itself is a way we work. Reducing the world around us to what we know and understand so we can make associations and comparisons. what is done at 4:42 - the statement, "the universe has a beginning" begs the questions that we are within the universe. What is the universe? And I suspect this will be answered by the "big bang" explanation and that this man believes the big bang theory as a fact. The Big Bang Theory is a Jesuit-plot to discredit faith in the Creator as the One who, "In the beginning ...created the heavens and the earth." God doesn't explain a big bang. God explains that everything came into being at His word. "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God, and everything created was not made without him, but was made through him[the word]." "He is the light of life and the light of the world" and the "spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the deep and God said, 'Let there be light.' and there was light" , Then God put two lights in the sky[firmament] to mark seasons, days and years. The greater light (The sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (The moon) to rule the night. "Let their light shine DOWN upon the earth. And so it was/ Genesis 1:1-17 = notice in the sequence of events that the earth was created and the sun and moon and stars were created to light the earth. As long as you force God into a heliocentric big bang model of existence you are not trusting God completely. You are accepting God in one sense while trusting man-made explanations for the rest of creation in the same sense. Do a show on Biblical cosmology with this same guest and with Ken Hamm and with William Craig....these men all believe in God the father, but they all also believe in the theory of evolution and the heliocentric model of the universe and the existence of alien beings off the planet somewhere in the vast universe.

Unless you want to commit to forcing God into your man-made construct of space. Is it so difficult to accept that God provided an orderly explanation of the heavens and the earth? Why is it so difficult to turn away from the man-made idol and to turn to the God who is spirit and love?

The question 'Who created god' is not materialist. It's not an atheist question (whatever that means). It s a response to the theist statement that poses as a so called explanation regarding the creation of the universe. When you say 'god'... . you e x p l a i n N O T H I N G. Anymore than a kid that says 'he did it using magic!'. It looks like an answer but it has not explanatory power so answers NOTHING! You still have to explain 'supernatural' and 'eternal'. It 's a classic god of the gaps. I dont know therefore god. That does not logically follow. The bachelor analogy is idiotic. Since the concept of bachelor and 'marriage' is construct that we understand. A timeless, non physical 'God always existed' So what is the answer? Theists you are not going to like that. It requires a lot of humility and certainly no claim that you have a special relationship with the son of the creator of the universe.. WE DONT KNOW!

[@uvoros1512]

Nobody created God. Here's a full explanation: First, let's get our heads around what a chain of causation is. Say Y created Z, then the immediate question is who created Y? Why X of course. And who created X, you ask. That's W. And so on and so on. If we travel back along this chain of causation, we will eventually reach A. In our quest to discover who created the Universe, we can start with anything in the Universe and then travel back along this chain of causation. There are only two possibilities. This chain can be: 1) Circular 2) Non-circular If the chain is circular, we will eventually get to something that was created by something that it had created--the chicken came from the egg that the chicken had laid. That's Wheeler's Participatory Universe. In short, the Universe was created by intelligence the Universe had created. This concept has to do with particles acting like waves if not observed but acting like particles if observed. That means that the act of observing them after their creation made them go back in time and influence their own nature, so they act like particles. That's enough to give anybody a headache and, not surprisingly, this explanation for the Universe's existence hasn't really caught on. If the chain is not circular, there are only two possibilities: 1) Infinite regression--we never get to the ultimate creator, which will mean nothing can exist. We know this is not the state of things. 2) Somewhere, we run smack-bang into an uncaused cause--the higher intelligence. There are only these three possibilities: 1) The Participatory Universe possibility. 2) Nothing exists because there's no ultimate creator--the infinite regression problem. 3) The uncaused cause is behind everything. One cannot ask where the Uncaused Cause came from--that's a stupid question. Just like people were happy to accept that the Universe was eternal, and Stephen Hawking was happy to believe that the Law of Gravity was eternal, and those of the Quantum faith have no concerns with a quantum vacuum being eternal, we have to accept that there may be an infinite higher intellect.

God lives outside of time and creation....human live in both Time and creation... so we will never get it

- actually, the word of God, describes the Universe itself as ZION and yes it had a beginning

Supernatural being can be eternal? what is the evidence for this assumption? the bible says god is eternal. this is circular logic. its interesting that he quotes science yet im sure he does not agree when science contradicts the bible. I was a christian minister for 20 years. I am an non-theist. there is zero evidence of any god. just subjective experience of faith. thats not enough. sorry.

So what is the evidence that the universe made itself from nothing?

How are you good. Eating from the tree of good will bring in the bad. There is another way of being which is beyond good. You can heal good and bad by knowing you are both. Actually we are good bad ugly and magnificent. We are all of it. Allow what you feel and you have it made.

Once people truly believe in Roman Gods, Greek Gods, Egyptian Gods and the list goes on and on. They are gone now. Who among us can say that in another 5000 years there won't be a new God to replace our current ones? You can say there won't be a new God in 5000 more years, but can you say you will control that? Really? That what the world will be like 5000 years in the future is determined by you?
