  • @Terncote

    Well it's been weeks since you removed my perfectly cogent rebuttal and tried to lure me into a discussion with private messages instead of here. What's up with that?

    Why censor my remarks - they weren't abusive or anything?

  • Maybe a God could exist, but any of the Gods created by religions are just implausible, its clear they are myths.

  • You removed my comment and sent me a PM instead.

    Don't you want to discuss this in the open?

  • When I said "sin free", I meant forgiven of sin.

  • ...to BE changed. To want to be changed. This is repentance, to change your mind, to become right minded. With the desire to be clean, and a want to be changed, one can put their hope in Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit will do a work in them. This is assurance for all who are truly sincere.

  • I think one of the greatest problems that many non-believers have with the Gospel of Christ is that, for some reason (maybe what they take from what other Christians say) they think they have to change themselves in order to come to Christ and be saved. This is not true. I have enough faith in humanity to believe if mankind could be "good" (sin free) on their own, they would be - but they can't - it's not in their nature. No, you don't have to change, you only have to be willing...

  • This is what Einstein basically said, as well as many theoretical physicists at many times in history. It's not naive to think this, but it is a great assumption to say that God is like the one in the Bible without a bit of faith/trust. This merely points out a need for a God through contingency and causation. Not to be putting aside the possibility that it is the Christian God (or any personal God). I learned that in a secular school from an agnostic/atheist too.

  • Yet as a single quantised particle only went through one.

    My point is, this universe is largely unexplained, and for you to stop asking questions and merely defend a pre-existing belief will only retard further scientific discovories.

    Anyway, while this is a nice little bit of logic you've mashed together it in no way proves that the God you speak of exists. In fact, assuming your argument here was flawless, there is still the possibility for infinitely many Gods other than your own to exist.

  • @kitosborn "...there is still the possibility for infinitely many Gods other than your own to exist." Personally, I have no problem with your coming to that conclusion at all. But to use that possibility as your starting point, you have to being with the "truth" that God does indeed exist. From that beginning, to search out if there is only one God or maybe "infinitely many Gods", I feel confident you will find the one true God. Your greatest hurdle would have already been crossed.

  • @4GodSoLoves, it appears our opinions differ on this matter. I must first say that I do not believe (though nor am I strongly disbelieve) there is a God in any sense, let alone a personal God, and even further from my belief is that the Christian God exists.

    If you have found the one true God, as you put it, then I do not believe it was through logic or reasoning, which is what I base my perception of this world upon.

  • *(though nor do I strongly disbelieve) - that's what I get for changing phrase mid sentance.

    @4GodSoLoves. There are many explanations as to why you may believe you have found God, but as making a list of them may seem somewhat offensive I can only urge that you research such things yourself. As you hope I find the one true God, I hope that you do not live your life in expectation of something which will not come.

  • @kitosborn LOL - I do that all the time. As for my faith: I understand where you're coming from, but I have faith that anyone who is "sincerely" seeking the one true God will find Him in the Gospel - or they will not find Him at all. It is through faith that I have found the one true God, which is so much greater than logic. By this I have received more than evidence, but proof by means of the Holy Spirit. It is by the Holy Spirit, who leads us into all truth that we find God.

  • @kitosborn It seems you believe that knowledge is supreme – it is not. You don’t believe in God, so maybe you believe that to find the greatest knowledge, one has to search for the greatest human mind/s. So, I think, this in turn, keeps you from finding God. God doesn’t operate in such a way that the human mind can call logical – He is not limited in that way. His ways are not our ways. For example: Man’s way is, he must “see, to believe”, but God’s way…

  • @kitosborn This is not to say we can’t find logic or reason in many of God’s ways. In the story of redemption, for example: Because by one man’s act of disobedience (Adam), sin and death entered into the world; so by one man’s complete obedient life (Jesus), sin and death can be defeated. We find much logic in the ways of God as it would pertain to the scriptures, but God is not limited in such a way. Also we are told to reason together in Isaiah 1:18. So the Gospel is reasonable...

  • @kitosborn … is, we must “believe, to see”. If you seek God through logic and reasoning, you’re not seeking Him at all. You only “think” you are.

  • @kitosborn ...if you seek for that reason within the confines of scripture. What I mean is, if you seek to find reason or logic for the existence of God by seeking it in science, for example - you will find evidence, yes, but not God Himself. But once you find that evidence, you must seek Him in spirit and truth. He is found through faith. He can be found that way whether you have evidence or not.

  • @4GodSoLoves, it is as you say: 'believe, to see'. However if one were to truly believe in something then, regardless of its veracity, one would come to see what it is they believe. This is what I believe to be the illusion of God - as, I presume, you have been taught there is a God since birth and you firmly believe it to be so, would you agree that your mind may create the illusion of 'seeing' God regardless of his existance?

  • Comment removed

  • @4GodSoLoves. For to believe is to believe, and if said belief is not based upon an observation of something tangible then it will exist regardless of actuality.

  • @kitosborn If that is all there was, maybe yes. But, when we accept Christ, a change takes place and the old nature dies and we are reborn with a new nature - one that is formed in us by the Holy Ghost. His indwelling spirit then manifests in us by a rebuilding of the character of that new nature by means of the 9fold fruit of the spirit, which becomes our evidence, our knowing (which you can never have unless you also come) that God exists and that we are indeed His and saved. We...

  • @kitosborn ...can't show this evidence to you because it is self-evident, an experience or something that has to be experience to understand. We can only explain it the best we can, after all, how do you explain the taste of ice-cream to someone who has never tasted anything sweet - only have them taste if for themselves - self experience. So, it is understandable that you as a non-believer may not believe us in this, or that you would come up with some other explanation for it...

  • @kitosborn ...i.e. delusion, or a response of emotion or imagination - but you will never understand until you taste it for yourself, so-to-speak. God knows His own and we know His voice. We know - something you can never do unless you also come to believe - believe to see - you have to do it His way.

  • @4GodSoLoves. Well, only one of us can be right yet we both seem steadfast in our beliefs. I'm glad to have been given an insight into what you, and many like you, believe, but we both come at the same subject from such different directions that I do not think further discussion would effect either one of us in the slightest - as I'm sure you've realised. Perhaps one day science will show us God, or have such evidence to the contrary that you will become an atheist.

  • @kitosborn "Perhaps one day science will show us God, or have such evidence to the contrary that you will become an atheist." I wouldn't put much hope in the former and none in the latter. After all, once you know someone, how do you un-know them? But if you don't want to believe, you never will. But God bless, and thanks for the interesting conversation.

  • @kitosborn Excuse me for one last intrusion, but something occurred to me, and it is something else you said: "though nor am I strongly disbelieve". You probably have no idea how very close you are - if you only will seek with real sincerity. One step further in to "little faith" is far enough if you will only act on it. Little faith is faith, after all and God honors all faith and will help it grow.

  • @4GodSoLoves When I said I do not strongly disbelieve, that was aimed at the idea of a God in any sense; while I cannot dismiss the idea of a personal God entirely it is, in my opinion, very unlikely.

    My main problem with seeking God with sincerity is that to do so I must first admit that God exists, thus creating the illusion. Which is why, to maintain a scientific mind, I discipline myself to believe only what I see.

  • Comment removed

  • @kitosborn You seem so afraid that you will deceive yourself, that you allow yourself to BE deceived.

  • @kitosborn Would you really, really like to know if God exists? I mean, if there is a way, would you sincerely like to know for sure? Or do you either, don't want to know or don't care to know? Just asking.

  • @4GodSoLoves. While I am quite sure of my current beliefs, if there was a way to know, beyond all doubt, I would most definitely want to know.

    I am not afraid that I would deceive myself, as I know I have the control to not become deceived; a control which I practise now by taking the stance 'see, to believe', rather than 'believe, to see'. If I 'fear' anything, it is knowing that should I sincerely 'look' for God I would find him regardless of his existence.

  • @kitosborn "If I 'fear' anything, it is knowing that should I sincerely 'look' for God I would find him regardless of his existence." Exactly - you're afraid of self deception. No, I'm afraid you will never know and you will continue to be deceived by wrong concepts. You block yourself, put up a wall to assure yourself that God cannot reach your heart. Knowledge is NOT supreme.

    Ask, and it shall be given you; SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: -Matt.7:7

  • @kitosborn There is a way to know beyond all doubt - but it comes through faith, not knowledge. Faith in the fact that if God exists, He wants to reveal Himself to you. And it comes through trust. Trusting that He WILL reveal Himself, if you SINCERELY SEEK HIM in spirit and in truth. This happens by way of earnest prayer. Believe your prayer will be answered and watch for His hand to work. You'll know when He answers your prayer - you'll know - beyond all doubt - IF you are sincere.

  • @kitosborn I have told you, and I have prayed for you. Now you have to do your part. God will do the rest. You'll see - if you will believe these things. All this - through the FAITH that IF HE EXISTS - He will reveal Himself.

  • @4GodSoLoves Maybe buddha is the one revealing himself to me,to say to someone that he dosen't need evidence but only faith,is approving the fact that you don't have any evidence for the existence of your god,you just believe like your parents did,same thing with idol worshipers or other god worshipers,Prophets came with miracles and miracles are evidence,so to lie on god and say there is no miracle here in now days for people to see and to go to the right god,is just wrong !

  • @YamiYami17 If I am wrong, then he will know. Faith is required. Where is the evidence that a non-believer will accept? Sure there is evidence, miracles. There are NDE's for example, healings, visions, visitations - good enough? If they were, there would be no unbelievers. It takes faith, and many have come by faith alone having...

  • @4GodSoLoves Man i'm not sure what are the stories of the prophets in the bible,but when moses was send to pharaoh,he showed him a lot of miracles,and he didn't believe,a lot of nations saw a lot of miracles and just a few people believed,i give you an example of now days,you can show to an evolutionist that DNA is information,and he will understand that yet he will reject and disbelieve.

  • @YamiYami17 ...never witnessed a miracle, but the one that takes place in them. And I don't worry about Buddha or any of that. Just let God reveal Himself - He is who He is. Let it be as it will be for he who seeks Him. There is no fear, or reservation in faith. Let the Greeks defend their Gods and let Paul defend his - and let the fire fall. I am willing.

  • @4GodSoLoves Man if i don't seek evidence i will be fooled ,I mean look to the creation of god,it's all screaming of his greatness and power,it is an evidence that he exists,the same thing about the true religion of god the true way to him,it is screaming of how it's the truth and nothing is a like it,I can show you the evidence the miracle,it's on you to accept or reject like the evolutionists do with DNA.It's called the Qur'an.

  • @YamiYami17 Jesus said that the generation that seeks after a sign is a wicked and adulterous generation. People can be deceived by such and according to prophecy, many will be. 

  • @4GodSoLoves Jesus healed the blind,revived the dead,walked on water .... and so on and on,he was a great prophet send to the children of israel,he showed them big sighns and they went on to kill him,but they couldn't ! So obviously jesus never said that,disblievers changed his word to fool people,to controll them,and i don't need to give you the stories of what the churchs used to do,you know them,God out of his mercey did send a last prophet,with an eternel miracle.

  • @YamiYami17 Look, I don't want to get into an argument over Jesus vs Mohamed, Christian vs Muslim. How can this help the seeker? If a non-believer doesn't see these miracles as evidence, in this case one who sees only science in creation, and sees Jesus' miracles as fables (even you claim the Bible was changed), how can these things be used to help him believe? I have agreed that life itself is a miracle - but he doesn't. Let him find God through faith, the same way you and...

  • @4GodSoLoves A disbeliever is someone who choosed to disbelief,for him there is no more test,he already made his mind,wether you warn him,or wether you showed him all the miracles,he dosen't care,god had sealed his heart,coz he knows that that servant won't change his mind,so he will let him enjiy the very small time he have in earth then he will puniche him in the after life.So please don't put an assumption over reason.

  • @YamiYami17 The assumption is yours - that he is lost before his time. As long as there is breath left in him, he may come. We were all lost before we came to God. Let no man judge another mans fate before God. Pray for lost souls, it is our reasonable service to God and to His everlasting Kingdom. God will decide a mans fate - it is not for us to do - it is for us to work and to pray.

  • Comment removed

  • @YamiYami17 ...have come. Even if you came to believe by miracles, you had to place your faith in them. Do you not believe that God can, and will, reveal himself to this non-believer through miracle or revelation, by some or any means by which this man will come to believe?

    By the way...Matthew 16:4 -"A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas."

  • @4GodSoLoves "Even if you came to believe by miracles, you had to place your faith in them" Totaly agree,the brain reason and the heart believes,And no,god won't reveal himself to the disbelievers the ones that mock him,and fight him and his servants,exalted is he above all things, he doesn't need them,it's we the ones that need him,if we believed it's for our own good,we won't benefit god,we will only benefit ourselves!

  • @YamiYami17 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13)

  • @4GodSoLoves Also agree,the problem with the disbelievers is that,they have illness in thier hearts,arrogants to the limits,blind no from their eyes but hearts,An evolutionist can't debunk an argument against evolution but he can reject it,with his heart,the same thing with the disbeliever,he can't argue agaist a miracle against a sigh,but he can only reject it with his heart,A revleation was sent to clear the conflicts of the jews and the christians,and to guide us back to god !

  • @4GodSoLoves We have sent revelation to you as We sent revelation to Noah, and the prophets after him, as We sent revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants, including Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron and Solomon, and We gave David Psalms- of some Messengers before you We have told you, of others We have not- and God spoke to Moses as well.Messengers who gave good tidings as well as warnings, so that mankind, after the coming of Messengers,

  • @4GodSoLoves (cont) would have no excuse before God [on the Judgement Day];

    God is All- mighty, All-wise"

    (Qur'an translation 4:163-165)

  • @YamiYami17 I meant to say: All sins can be forgiven "except" for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

  • Exist and not exist at the same time; impossible? Sounds a lot like quantum physics to me... By that I mean that all possibilities for our universe - no universe included - could have existed at once, such that only after all had existed at once did one exist.

    Such as is experienced when firing a single photon at barrier with two parallel slits, when the light hits a farther wall an interference pattern can be seen, which implies the photon went through both slits at once...

  • Finally a theist argument that isn't given by a boring old priest. Captivating and relatively philosophically sound. Great work

  • @XGralgrathor So you came to the conclusion that evolution is not proven, but it has been observed so you would have to be stupid not to believe it. If it has been observed, wouldn't it have been proven already? The problem is that it hasn't been observed, and every day that we don't see any sort of gradual change in humans or animals, the date of the earth grows about a million years.

  • @TheWordOfLife1 haha I agree with you they keep pushing the age of the earth further to justify that non sense

  • @iamtheplauge That makes no sense. If the universe has a cause, it has a creator...that's naturally what having a cause means. If what you're saying is true- that all atheists believe the universe has a cause- there would be no such thing as atheism. So, if megatron created the universe, he would be God. We know that is ridiculous, so we believe that the God of the Bible is the one true God, which is a lot less ridiculous if you actually look into it.

  • I think you'll find that most atheists agree with you that the big band had a cause. We know that. But there is absolutely NO evidence that it was a god that caused it. Until we have some sort of proof, it might as well have been Megatron.

  • @erynb That is one atheistic possibility but it is wrong. the sun would have burned out. It takes about 3.6 billion years to do that, but it is far less than infinity.

  • Scientist claim that matter and energy was always here, even before the big bang. And us Christians believe God has always existed before the universe. The concept of energy and matter in this universe had to arise from some where outside of the universe and not from matter and energy itself. Which is Shawn makes a great conclusion. Probability is not intelligent and it is not self self aware.

  • @gextreme8 God is love in whoever loves, and where there is love a spirit will be against love persecuting it trying to make it bad. That is where persecution comes from. A human that kills all life will be apposed or deny or think what you think about God. Death will always be apposed to life, and that is why man without the life giving spirit in the soul will in every way imaginable will be against God. Do bad to anyone, and hurt the heart of God. Those that do will not have heaven in them.

  • @gextreme8 "Scientist claim that matter and energy was always here"

    -Scientists don't claim anything that they do not know. Before they come to conclusions they make sure the evidence is on a solid foundation.

    You should try it sometime.

    "The concept of energy and matter in this universe had to arise from some where outside of the universe"

    -Are you able to support that assertion with anything other than your religious values?

  • @playerwithfaith In essence, you're asking this person to step off of their worldview in order to argue yours from your worldview's standpoint. It's a losing battle. You're presupposing a godless world. We know the universe and the world was created because God tells us it was. Now proven science does back that up but even if it didn't it's still true because God told us so.

  • @Hoogz20 "We know the universe and the world was created because God tells us it was."

    -How does he tell you? A voice in your head tells you this, or are you reading from the bible? If from the bible, how do you know it is true?

    You don't "know", you believe.

    "Now proven science does back that up"

    -Proven science says that we evolved and arose from non-life, which contradicts the genesis account. Don't you feel hypocritical when you disingenuously appeal to "proven science"?

  • @playerwithfaith This isn't up for debate. If you have questions that you actually want answers to then I'd be more than happy to answer them. It's quite clear what your intentions are and that you won't be satisfied with any answer provided regardless of any "proof" that I could give you. I will ask you this though; is evolution really proven science? If so, then can you explain it to someone? How much of what they call "evolution" has been observed?

  • « is evolution really proven science? »

    (1/3)

    Science is the method by which we derive theories and hypotheses from facts. The purpose of science is to gather data, to construct hypotheses around them, and if possible, gather those hypotheses together in an explanatory framework called a theory.

    Hypotheses and theories are confirmed through evidence. Tehy are not subject to "proof" however. No finding in science is ever claimed to be "true" with "absolute certainty".

  • « is evolution really proven science? »

    (2/3)

    Evolution is an observed biological phenomenon. It is simply change over time. Evolutionary theory attempts to explain observations in molecular and developmental biology, comparative genomics, zoology and palaeontology in terms of what principles we can derive from our observations of this phenomenon.

  • « is evolution really proven science? »

    (3/3)

    While evolutionary theory, like every other theoretical framework, will never be complete, its central hypotheses at least (common descent, descent with modification) have been confirmed and reconfirmed by so numerous independent lines of evidence that it is entirely unreasonable to doubt that they are at the very least accurate reflections of reality.

  • @playerwithfaith Does it really make sense? What is the probability that from the highly complex cells found on earth to the vastness of the universe that everything could just "evolve" with such order? You don't have to respond but ask yourself these questions.. I love science. I used to buy the evolution theory, even after I was a Bible believing Christian. If you want some resources then send me a message or let me know. I have really great stuff if you're interested.

  • @Hoogz20 I wrote you a message addressing everything you said, but you have friend lock on.

  • @playerwithfaith sorry about that.. i added you as a friend so resend it if you'd like.

  • @playerwithfaith  If you choose to put your faith in modern science and the wisdom of men (both always changing) then you can do that but why ignorantly attack others? That being said, our concept of time itself is a limited concept with both a beginning and an end. God is eternal which means He had no beginning or end and strictly from a logical stand point, such a being is necessary. Everything can't come from nothing and order can't come from disorder. Humans are limited to the finite.

  • @playerwithfaith Don't mistake religon with reality. The God of the Bible isn't a "religous" God. Religiousity can and never will please God. The only way we become acceptable to God is through faith in His son, Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins to and was raised from the dead to reconcile fallen men to a perfectly just and loving God. All have sinned and will die because the wages of sin is death. Unless they put their trust in Jesus who, through his innocent blood, cleanses us.

  • You thought this through incredibly venomfangx. kudos to you! solid logic and flawless articulation is a winning mixture in the battle against atheism.

  • this is Amazing

    Nice video man

  • @Menak666 one time i felt really weird and felt some stuff and then i saw there was a train behind the forest. The brain hallucinates all the time.

  • @Menak666 Wow, you really need to take a class if you think a rock is conscious. You really don’t know enough to evaluate anything based on first person crystalized intelligence. This is the most fundamental analysis of consciousness I know about on you tube, you should watch it, because you need to start at the beginning. watch?v=fjPoh2miGeE&feature=ch­annel_video_title

  • @Menak666 Quantitative is not equal to “non-physical”. Swimming is quantitative, are you saying the qualitative process of swimming is "non-physical?" (you confused me, had me useing the inverse of quantitative too.)

  • @Menak666 Qualitative is not equal to “non-physical”. Swimming is qualitative, are you saying the qualitative process of swimming is "non-physical?"

  • Nothing needed to cause the universe, because Casuation was created after the birth of the universe, before the universe does not exist because there was no time, and yes as some have mentioned look up the antropic principle, that should clear up a few of your problems. Also why does the universes definate age require it to have a creator? Vacum energy has NO creator, and the universe was born from vacum energy and QM.

  • ...

  • @19markle19 Then why do you ramble? I mean every post you've made so is nothing but one big long rant with absolutely no argument. Here is my advice if you don't have a single coherent argument just shut up.

  • @vindicato15 Alright, this is getting ridiculous, think what you wanna think, man. There's no point in trying to talk to someone like yourself. Have a nice life.

  • @19markle19 No the only thing ridicules is people like you wasting our time with your rants. Learn how to formulate arguments and present them coherently and then perhaps we can take you seriously. Until then shut up.

  • If it's "philosophically and intellectully impossible" to declare yourself the cause of your existence, than what created god? This question keeps popping up and theist all give the same answer: "god always existed." this is obviously hypocritical.

  • If it's "philisophiclly and intellecyuly

  • christians! stop argueing!

    you know why people hate christianity!?? its because christians fight too much! they ignore the message of Jesus Christ, and forget to show compassion and love!

    To all those effected and mistreated by christians, i tell you, do not believe in christians but put your faith in Christ Jesus!!!

  • Faith is the false friend that promises and never delivers. Reason is the honest friend who sometimes disappoints but never lies.

  • BIG APPLAUSE. I really liked this video.

  • You are a gifted speaker. I enjoyed your video. It's true that life itself is a scientific and mathematical impossibility. Yet here we are. Every day I look in the mirror and have to explain what I see. There is only one explanation: God made me.

  • Pnadorachild you obviously didn't listen to the video very well. Start it at 5: 25

  • So your alternative to the "impossible" explanation is just another impossibility? We don't know of anything existing outside of time any more than we know of there being an infinite regress.

  • How is infinite regress impossible? If everything up to this point continues, it will be infinite. If the universe is in fact an infinite regress we are only a part of its infinity that is never ending. If you were to say time is infinite, it does not change the fact that we are going through it.

  • @Falloutglitch An actual infinite can never be realized, so in reaching an infinite would be contradictory, it would be as if one is to reach a point that literally cannot be reached. So if our universe is either the cause of infinite oscillation, or an infinitely stable predecessor reaching the infinite future (this point in space and time) in an infinitely old universe is impossible. because in reaching this point of space and time would be contradictory to space being infinite.

  • @thechristianknights Infinite doesn't stop, thats why time is elapsed over it. If the Universe is finite, what gives its primal cause an exemption? Things happen over time, and we are doing things right now that are elapsing over it. We are part of the infinite, it hasn't ended, AND it has no starting point, which is why you cannot say "we would be here if there were an infinite amount of time before us". Since there was no starting point and there is no ending point, it must be infinite.

  • @Falloutglitch What you must understand is that if the universe if infinitely old it lacks a beginning as you already know, you also know that you cannot count to infinity. Now I'm sure you know that an infinite can exist potentially, like the fact that we can indeed perceive a point that is infinite. Now if the universe is infinitely old, we know that an actual infinite cannot be realized, so if our universe was infinitely old it would be contradictory to what is considered infinite.

  • @Falloutglitch Now in saying that we are part of the infinite, you are presuming the universe has a beginning because we are in a finite stage on an infinite timeline. So if we are on a finite stage of the timeline or "part of the infinite" as you so claim then we could count the amount of time, or finite stages back to beginning of space and time. Yes it's true the ideal of a "first cause" does initially sound preposterous, however if one is to realize that the universe must possess cause...

  • @Falloutglitch then the idea of an initial cause is not so alien. Because our universe exist finitely it needs a cause, there must be something on the chain of causation by which exists by necessity, whether it be quarks that exist out of necessity or God as some would like to presume, either way it still leaves us with two conclusions 1, the universe cannot be infinitely old and 2, there must exist something on the chain of causation by which exists by necessity.

  • @thechristianknights The evidence at hand for an infinite Universe, or a primal cause are both weak. I only make speculation that everything in the cosmos has a cause; and nothing is excused, unless evidence given otherwise. So far, there is always another cause to each effect in the Universe. Wether it the discovery of planets, solar systems, galaxies, there always seems to be something more. Yet the obvious flaw of an infinite regress is not in proportion, with that of a primal cause.

  • @Falloutglitch But what you must acknowledge is that an infinite regress cannot exist. There's simply no debating that. Now, a potential infinite can exist, for instance, you can begin counting, and in theory, you could continuously remain counting infinitely, without ever actually realizing an infinite. The same is true for an initial cause, when looked at from the perspective of a definite chronology it exists potentially, all without actually being bound by time

  • @Falloutglitch Then how did we get here from an infinite amount of time in the past? Tell me, can you count down to zero from infinity? No. It is impossible to traverse an infinite amount of time. A train, representing the progression of time, whose tracks start an infinite distance away from a station, representing the present moment, will never reach the present moment.

  • @CarlosMarti123 What is to say the tracks have to stop at you? We are on the train, and its moving right now. We don't come from time.... everything we do is elapsed over it. Meaning space is also infinite. Perhaps both have always co-existed...

  • @Falloutglitch They don't stop at me, when did I say that? I said the progression of time can only reach the present moment if there is a finite amount of time preceding the present moment.

  • @Falloutglitch "If everything up to this point continues, it will be infinite."

    It is POTENTIALLY infinite, which is different from ACTUAL infinity. Think of a counter on the wall whose value in digits increases once per second. Will there be a point in time at which the value ACTUALLY becomes infinite? No, of course not. It will increase forever, but will ALWAYS have a finite value.

  • @CarlosMarti123 Lol. If it is a clock that has the potential to be infinite, and is given an infinite amount of time, and it has always existed, it is infinite.

  • awesome intro!

  • Great video here

  • Probabilities don't generate itself. there are other forces the cause the existence of a being.

    If we we look at u for example, try to starve for days, and see if your existence is "probable"

  • "The probability of something being the way it is is 100%"

    The analogy works if you're trying to predict something, but the problem with it is that it's already happened. We're not flipping the coin, we're just looking at a list of all the tosses made thusfar. An understandable mistake.

  • @JOTRKID Oh great, can't you use that explanation for anything else? "Why did Obama win the election?" Oh, because there's an infinite number of universes and we just happen to be in one of the infinite number of universes where Obama won the election. "Why are there those Chinese characters on the wall?" Oh, because there's an infinite number of universes and we just happen to be in one of the infinite number of universes where these characters are on the wall.

    What a cop-out.

  • @CarlosMarti123 Infinite universes don't come into it. Pick a shirt and put it on. Now roll some dice on the probability of wearing that shirt. Roll again. Are you still wearing that shirt? If you aren't you may be onto something.

  • @JOTRKID So you're arguing that the physical constants of the universe are that way because they are that way? Oh great. What a fine explanation you have there.

    I suppose the reason there are dinosaur bones is because there are dinosaur bones? LOL!

  • @CarlosMarti123 And most notably, you're a close-minded backbirth cretin who doesn't listen to any reason that contradicts his own because you're a close-minded backbirth cretin who doesn't listen to any reason that contradicts his own. That make you feel good? And yea, I just went ad-hominem on yo ass.

  • @JOTRKID "And yea, I just went ad-hominem on yo ass."

    LOL! Is that all you have left to say?

    Guess you can't bear to stand before reason. But then again, most of you can't.

  • @CarlosMarti123 Nice try. Anyway, I'm off for the night. You be safe. I'll continue this tomorrow.

  • @CarlosMarti123 Now to be a bit more diplomatic, you are using a brutal oversimplification of my argument, which is partially correct. Things are the way they are. The past doesn't change. But doesn't "I am that I am" sound familiar?

  • mmm cookies

  • missed you !!

  • nice

  • @VenomFangX talking about mathematics in public when you clearly don't understand said mathematics is a very bad idea. Bear in mind that mathematics is the only field of human inquiry in which positive and certain proof exists.

  • @WendingWayfarer not really...

  • I love you

  • Welcome back venomfangX!!! Missed you!

  • The Universe as YOU know it is just a SPARK from a collision of 2 potentials and the JET created by this even also seen similar to QUASARS but on a massively larger scale shows NO CREATOR but a cycle. All we know of science say we are just inside a jet of a collision event...No big bang no God No eternaity no foolish errors of dimensions.

    GOD DIED as prophecy said.

    Jesus died In INDIA as it is written

    Peter brings for the the REAL CHURCH from them in 1966 till 2011, no one cared! REPENT

  • God is DEAD long live god "IAM" founder of the kingdom and carrier of the cure to mankind. Cursed be Lucifer the SATAN for ADDING all past HISTORY to the found others and so corrupted them with all the wrongs of the past. Blessed are the BARREN for they shall balance mankind. Blessed are the Builders for they shall make the earth a web as if a mind to think and do what mankind should of long ago.

    Blessed are they that build the churches of Jesus as PERFECT villages as he teach 2000 years ago.

  • god "IAm is a MAN and he is eternal by his kingdom and being recorded same as jesus and same as us. Jesus teach as a man to read and write and forget GODS but YOU as a PAGAN chose to ignore us and go with lies.

    ONLY THE RECORDED LIVE IN THE RECORDINGS AND ONLY THE CAN THE BE PART OF THE OBSERVER OF ANY AGE!

    Please learn the3 basics of the religions you follow because we f God do not like Pagans faking our glory to be lies and lies even to not grasp the Universe basics of collision of potentials

  • coins are NOT 100% face or tails and do have a rim that if you land on it can be nether head or tails as in a crack or a lean on a wall or plain roll to a stop standing.

    So basic logic say DO NOT PLAY COINS WHEN YOU SKIP OVER THE THIRD SIDE! flip of a coin is event ENDING not starting and so has no intentions at all and is retro vision that is never 20/20. No such thing as 10 dimensions as we proven SIZE is the only other dimension. It is clearly a very poor logic effort missing 1/3 of the data.

  • Whats the probability of the leaves falling off the trees in the autumn ? ... beats me.

  • let me tell you something. the difference your definition of THEORY, and a scientists definition of THEORY is very large.

    your definition of theory is as follows.

    1. contemplation or speculation. or: 2. guess or conjecture.

    a scientists definition of theory is:

    1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.

    in other words, scienctific theories have to have evidence, your theories needes none

  • @VenomFangX If such evidence does appear, i will happily explore all options and switch my views accordingly. I dont consider it a leap of faith rather i consider it the most educated guess possible.

  • @VenomFangX Is it not faith based to say god created the universe? I will take any evidence not self refuted in its own texts (bible) over no evidence at all. I have watched your video's VFX and never once commented in a negative light in what you believe or see as the truth so please do not take this as a hate message.

    I simply have not seen scientific data that has not been dis-proven by other scientific data that supports a creationist theory.

  • The big bang only happened because God made it so...

  • @MrMonkipuzzle

    The big bang only happened because the Invisible Pink Unicorn and the Flying Spaghetti Monster decided to have one kick ass fireworks display.

  • @KadlerDraven So he just presented to you a legitimate reason that the Big Bang couldn't of occured and you're going to reply that it was inevitable without a valid reason? Please explain.

  • It is ridiculous; like comparing the other planets in the solar system to earth is ridiculous, or other goldilocks planets to any other satellite any place in just our sloar system. Earth is an ANOMALY, but not the only anomaly in the galaxy and probably but one of thousands in the universe. It is solely an anomaly because of its position within the solar system. Your mysterious "God" did nothing other than "create" what was already inevitable. Tell it to Pluto and see what they think.

  • Question, Mr. X. Why are you so desperate to try and dispute facts and theory based on a number of facts?

  • In an infinite Universe everything is not only possible, it is probable... Venom's limited capacity for understanding complexities such as these ensures that he'll likely always be mired in ignorance and superstition... Pity...

  • The universe is not based on one side of the coin; it is based on the coin as a whole.

  • @KadlerDraven Why?

  • actually both neitzche and schopenhaur view the universe as based on will and were atheists. also, you need to look up the word "determined".

  • @starsheild7

    Because the miracles contradict science. Besides, its moot point to try and debunk them, as I've said about fifty times now. You can't disprove the flying spaghetti monster or ghosts.

    You are the one who said it was charred black, not me. Don't use the argument from ignorance, because it isn't an argument. Just because we may not know something(and I suspect that it is already scientifically explained) doesn't mean God did it. God of the gaps is the stupidest argument.

  • @SSBB12347 It's all too much evidence for it all to be a coinsidence for the trinity to be fake (for Jesus's testimony to be fake). You just seem to be ignoring your own conscience, everything in existence is a moral matter, a "heart" matter, not a superficial matter, you are ignoring your conscience.

  • @starsheild7

    There is no evidence, none at all, sorry. Just because life exists and I have a brain which controls my bodily functions, or a 'conscience' if you will, doesn't necessitate the existence of the supernatural. Matter is NOT moral, because if it were, innocent children would not die at childbirth.

  • @starsheild7

    It also depends what exactly you define as morality. If we followed biblical morals, we would have slavery, we would be involved in human sacrifice, we would be genocidal, infanticidal, we would have no respect for women, we would pillage towns who didn't agree with us, and so on. These were the morals of antiquity.

    Morals have evolved over time due to concepts such as the golden/silver rules and adapting to what works the best as a society, not by religion.

  • @SSBB12347 You said, "Just because we may not know something (and I suspect that it is already scientificall explained) doesn't mean God did it."

    -that sentense you just said IS argument from ignorance and it is proof that you rely on the product of "chance" as a back door to ignore God in your conscience. you are being influence by the devil.

  • @starsheild7

    Argument from ignorance is making a positive claim based on ignorance. I wasn't making a positive claim, I was using my general knowledge of what Christians usually try to do to prove their pre-suppositions. Also, there is a scientific explanation for everything, including morals. Read "The Moral Landscape" to see what I am talking about.

    The Devil is an equally absurd figment of your imagination, and I've noticed that Christians tend to use the devil as a last resort.

  • @SSBB12347 The Moral Landscape is BS. I thought it was good when I first read it, but I've learned not to trust books like those at face-value.

  • @CarlosMarti123

    I doubt you even read it. You probably just looked up a scathing review of it on a creationist website. Christianity is what you should really not trust at face value.

  • @SSBB12347 "I doubt you even read it."

    Wow. Ok, I'll say the same thing to you: I doubt you even read the book.

    "You probably just looked up a scathing review of it on a creationist website."

    You really are an idiot, aren't you? WHY would it have to be a creationist website? Are you really that stupid? Grow up, moron.

    "Christianity is what you should really not trust at face value."

    Atheism is what you should really not trust at face value.

  • what if you dropped the coin? Then it would be probability that it would fall out off your hand and land on heads or tails so if a RANDOM act happened then it could have been chance. So your wrong, Sir

  • @Bananapielord Explain what natural causes COULD cause Mt Sinai to be chard black. Explain the physics behind Mt Sinai being the only mountain to be chard black that way.

  • ROFL Youre still around Venom, I thought the muzzzies would have taken you out by now...nixe vid bro!

  • @SSBB12347 The Roman gods have been debunked because the Romans themselves were convinced that the gods would ensure that their empire would last for 1000 years st least, the Roman empire crumbled before it lasted 800 years. The Koran claims that the muslims had the land before the Jews yet it is documented by Jewish and non jewish text that the Jews lived in Israel 1300 years before Mohammed was even born & hundreds of years before arabs even existed as a people

  • @starsheild7

    Jesus said to his followers that the apocalypse would come IN THEIR LIFETIMES(this didn't happen, by the way). Does that disprove God? The Bible also said that Israel would be remade about 400 years after it was destroyed(off by a factor of more than a thousand years).

    BTW your Bible advocates human sacrifice, genocide, infanticide, slavery, and it doesn't even respect women.

    Your Bible is just as logically inconsistent as the other religious texts, if not more.

  • @starsheild7

    Lets turn this argument in a different direction. The majority of your posts have been posting specific biblical scripture, all of which is open to interpretation, very ambiguous, and very opinionated. I am not an expert in scripture, but that doesn't mean I have to believe it. You don't have to be a medical expert to resist drugs.

    Before we continue, though, you must acknowledge the possibility that you COULD be wrong and Christianity COULD be made up.

  • @SSBB12347 How is the bible ambiguous? I read the bible, the text actually names the nations when it prophecied about them without the prophets orchestrating the fulfillment of each prophecy, I'm not lying to you, you can look it up yourself to see if I'm lying or not, Daniel's prophecy predates the conflict between Greece and persia, do the research to see if I'm lying or not. I'm telling you the truth - the bible actually named names of countries & the era that the prophecies would be fulfill.
