Another good addition would be "Tide goes in, tide goes out, from the gravitational pull of the sun and moon and the spin of the earth." Take that, Bill O'Reilly.
Thank you. You have summarized in 5:12 that which I have struggled with for years. This may be the best video I've seen all year. Thoughtful, clear, poignant. Well done.
@DaboiaRusselli Right, Bacteria are animals, not plants.. My bad, and dinosaurs are more bird than Lizard, true. But they're still true in principal, if not in detail.
@Doubter5 Fungi are actually more closely related to animals than they are to plants, but all 3 are their own distinct group. Bacteria are in another group entirely.
Hey man. Nice video. Your God sounds like a nice God.
Just a warning, because people might attack this part: at 3:37, the part that says "do not harm or kill another, as you would not want to be harmed and killed yourself," dude, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's an analogue for one of the most famous parts of the bible, the "golden rule." :)
@offTheLeftEye Yes, it's a paraphrase of the golden rule. And it predates Christianity by millenia. It's validity is independent of who says it. But if Jesus says it, Christians think they OWN it.
Various expressions of this fundamental moral rule are to be found in the tenets of most religions and creeds through the ages.
It's found in Ancient Babylon, Egypt, and Greece.
And in Bahaih, Buddhism, Judaism, Jainism, Confusism, Mohism, Sikhism, Taoism, and Wicca, to mention a few.
@Doubter5 I thought Confucius (who predated Jesus by like 500 yrs) was the originator of the "golden rule." I mean, there have been lots of vague statements that could be interpreted this way, but Confucius made it explicit (including referring to it as "golden"). If there was another, earlier explicit statement of the rule (or even some equivalent or similar rule), I'd like to know it.
@DaboiaRusselli Lookuping up "The Golden Rule" in Wikipedia, it has examples of recipriocity going back to ancient Egypt. But that's more like "an eye for an eye" thing. As far as "do unto others", I believe your right.. Confucious could have been the first to put it into such a phrase.. (I could find no examples further back in my quick search. :) But his was the the Reverse of Jesus' He said "“What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.” Which I think is much better.
Right at video beginning, you prove you don't know what Bible says. It DOES say the earth is spherical, that it revolves around the sun, which is just another star. It DOESN'T say how old the universe is; earth is not CREATED in 6 days, but RESTORED in 6 days. I did 47 Genesis videos showing real Bible Hebrew, off-Youtube. Some of those videos are in Youtube.
Be an atheist, I applaud you. But DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you make videos which prove you slipshod.
@brainouty I don't want to mis-represent the bible, OR appear slipshod. Can you tell me where does it say that "the earth is spherical, that it revolves around the sun, which is just another star" ? And where do you see that it was restored instead of created?
@Doubter5 I know you don't, that's why I made the comment. As for the Restoration meaning in the Hebrew, you've a variety of choices. You could have Googled to learn the fact that the stupid Christians advocating 'young earth' are slipshod about Gen 1:2's Hebrew. Or, you can access my playlist in the vid description of my 'Genesis of the Dingbats' here in Youtube. I show the Hebrew there. 47 videos, made before Youtube could accept large vids.
@brainouty Do you have a searchable Bible? Or only hardback? That will alter how I tell you about the verses, because there are MANY, not just a few, and you learn the Bible's meaning by keyword searches, not by looking at one verse.
Understand, most Christians don't even know what I'm listing, because they don't read Bible, either.
Doubter, great video, bu your advice to drink the milk of another species and cook meat thoroughly is highly contradictory to your statement near the end to treat animals with kindness. Did you know that meat comes from animals that had to be killed? Where's the kindness to animals in that? In fact meat eating is justified by the Holy Bible just as much as at one time slavery and oppression of women once were, if not more. Eventually eating meat sill be condemned in the same way.
@kidbrianmusic You expect me, a layman physisist at best, to explain Hawkins' reasoning? Good one. Besides, I concluded there was no god about 38 years before Hawkins said this.
Get real. This is way way too nice and sensible a god compared to the ones we all know and "love". I would go so far as to say that the Bible, Tora and Qur'an are EXACTLY what we would expect of a work written by superstitious and fearful mortal men.
But I would argue that such a loving omniscient god would have chosen NOT to create those tiny animals he calls germs which cause disease in his children to begin with.
Where do the people who follow that Bible congregate? I'd like to drop by for coffee and cookies.
It ain't Rome, it ain't Salt Lake City, and it sure as feces aint Westboro Baptist.
