ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment or suffering. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology)
THE SCIENTIFIC CASE AGAINST ATHEISM: Please read this Internet article of mine published in Russia's English Pravda. It will be a real eye-opener for all who think belief in a Creator is merely subjective blind faith. Also read my article, LIFE ON MARS NO SURPRISE (In the Earth's past there was powerful volcanic activity which spewed life-containing dirt and rocks (meteors) into outer space. Mars may literally have millions tons of Earth soil)
SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE could not have sustained itself eternally because of entropy (even in an open system). Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)
EINSTEIN CONFIRMED that space and time are just as physical as matter. That's why space and time can be altered by gravity, and space produces particles. Einstein's equations show that the universe couldn’t be eternal. It had a beginning. Einstein believed, because of science, in the existence of God behind the origin and order of the universe. He didn't believe in a personal God like Christians do, but he did believe science pointed to the existence of an all powerful and intelligent Creator
NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Only evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). How were species living and reproducing if their vital structures, organs, reproductive systems hadn't evolved yet? Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic/biological similarities between species
DAWKINS, HITCHENS, AND HAWKING REFUSE TO DEBATE with creationists who are SCIENTISTS, such as the scientists at The Institute for Creation Research. Dawkins and his friends only debate non-scientist creationists. Read articles by scientists supporting creation at The Institute for Creation Research site. Read analysis from creation scientists about the latest news concerning fossils, astronomy, etc. that you won't read in the main stream media. Visit the Institute for Creation Research site.
EXPLAINING HOW AN AIRPLANE WORKS doesn't mean no one made the airplane. Explaining how life and the universe works doesn't mean there's no Maker behind them. Natural laws explain how the order in the universe works, but mere undirected natural laws can't explain the origin of that order. Once you have a complete and living cell then the apparatus exists to direct the formation of more cells, but how did that first cell originate? Read my Internet article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM.
NATURAL SELECTION IS NO BLIND WATCHMAKER because it can only "select," not arrange or produce. If a variation survives, that's called being "selected." Natural selection operates only once there is life and reproduction, not before, so it couldn't have been involved in life's origins. A partially-evolved cell (an oxymoron) would quickly disintegrate. It couldn't wait ("survive") millions of years for chance to complete it and then make it alive!

IMAGINE A FISH WITH PART FINS, part feet with the fins evolving (transitioning) into feet. What survival benefit would there be? The fish couldn't use its fins or its feet, and there are no fossils showing such a creature ever existed. They only exist on automobile bumper stickers! There are no true transitional forms, either living or fossilized. Evolutionists realize this fact! Read my Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!
APES ARE QUITE COMFORTABLE IN HOW THEY WALK, just as humans are quite comfortable in how they walk. Even a slight change in the position of a muscle or bone, for either, would be excruciatingly painful and would not be an advantage for survival. There's no hard evidence that humans evolved from ape-like creatures anymore than there's hard evidence that apes evolved from four-legged-pawed dog-like creatures. Read Internet article: MISSING LINKS THAT NEVER WERE.
GENETIC INFORMATION CANNOT HAPPEN BY CHANCE, so it's more logical to believe that genetic similarities between all forms of life are due to a common Designer who designed similar functions for similar purposes. It doesn't mean all forms of life are biologically related! Also, "Junk DNA" isn't junk. These non-coding segments of DNA have recently been found to be vital in regulating gene expression.

ALL REAL EVOLUTION ( i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.) in nature is the expression, over time, of already existing genes. Evolution is possible only if there’s information (genes) directing it. Only variations of already existing genes are possible, which means only limited evolution and adaptations are possible. Nature has no ability to invent new genes via random mutations caused by random environmental forces. That’s evolutionary faith, not science. Read my article, WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!
@Mogley52 Sorry, Moron, but it's proven that mutations can create new information. Such as creating 137 new genes, thanks to which a certain species of bacteria can digest Nylon.

These are atheists no more. Not a single one of them. Each became fully aware of the existence of God, prior to being thrown into the eternal lake of fire. There is absolutely no question in the minds of any of these former non believers, that the Bible was right, and it was they who were wrong. They took a gamble, and it cost them their souls.
@SteveW668 look it up yourself and you will see there is. maybe its because you never read the Bible at all, yet you know so much about it hmmmmm. i've read the Bible maney times and i can say for a fact that there is historical accuracy's in it and the fact that you speak on things on which you know nothing about shows how smart you really are.
@batman201ful I have probably read the bible more than you. It is a fairy tale written by man. It is full of contradictions and inconsistencies. Care to point out some of these historical accuracies?
well no, you're kinda missing the point. When anger is expressed, it is usually at the actions and beliefs of men. If you dont believe in somthing, you cant be angry at it. as a result, atheists are either defending their lack of belief, or attacking a belief they disagree with. It doesnt mean they hate god.
@Catholicdadof4 no, its that we have to deal with disgusting maggots like yourself, threatening people with ETERNAL TORTURE for using their fucking brain, i feel sick at the mere existence of a being as worthless as a christian, especially a catholic, bettter watch out, the pope might fuck your kids
@DocStrange0123 I am glad you are happy today, but there will come a time when there will be wailing and gridiing of teeth. Jesus is Lord. You have been warned.
@Catholicdadof4 And you can't face reality, it's too harsh, you can't handle death so you have to believe in a made up conforting fantasy, good luck, you've been warned...
@Catholicdadof4 More insane than shaking your fist at people and proscribing eternal suffering and damnation in the name of a vast omnipotent and omniscient being who is so powerful that that he cant even convince the majority of "his creations" that he exists? No....I think it is far more insane to believe in a god that only has any powers in the past, but when his proofs are most needed ...sits impotent on a throne of fairy tales.
Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God." - Martin Luther
The actual Ben Franklin quote is: "The Way to see by Faith, is to shut the Eye of Reason: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle"
Poor Richard’s Almanack (July 1758); The first portion of this sentence is quoted without the context provided by the rest of the sentence. It is a misrepresentation to use only half the sentence that Franklin uttered and end it with a period. The statement has always been taken as Franklin lauding faith, not condemning it.
@BattleshipTx The remainder of the sentence only supports the first part: basic grammar says this. When you put out your candle, you are then able to see things with your own eyes.
@PersonaUser000 That isn't the way it was interpreted back then. But we can disagree on interpretations. What is not up for debate is that it is a misrepresentation to give half of a sentence as a quote and end it with a period, when in fact that sentence does not end there. That is wrong to do, pure and simple. If done knowingly, the doer is a bad person. If accidental, the doer is at best misinformed, at worse sloppy and negligent.
No Nietzsche? How about this quote: To invent fables about a world "other" than this one has no meaning at all, unless an instinct of slander, detraction, and suspicion against life has gained the upper hand in us [...]
The comment about why would god create faulty humans, I think if we are going to take the bible seriously it has to be read with a more modern mind, If you take Genisis and look at it as God and the Angels are a race of Intelligent men who created man to do slave labor on the planet due for some need for natural resources so instead of ltooking for physical god or creator in the bible to explain the bible use common sense and a modern understanding of genetics.
@indignant99 Dude in this idea these beings are physical, not supernatural, they are a sofisticated society with space technology who maybe wrecked on this planet and needed to do some mining to fix there ship, or maybe could not fix their ship so they needed people to do the farming work for them, I mean you hear in all acient cutures about "gods" giving men knowledge and wisdom, to ancient man these things were god, just saying it's more logical then supernatural bearded dude in the sky.
@Rents66 Look, little kid. It's pure wild-ass speculation. It's insane. It is not logical at all. It is just as DELUDED as the imaginary sky-daddy people. Get a grip!
@indignant99 It's a theory and it is not wild ass speculation many revisionist historians believe in the idea of ancient technological socities being the source for the myths of gods, it has more evidence than that of the big bang being the source of life on earth. I am just saying do some homework before you go trying to slander something you have done no research into.
@kidslovesatan Explain to me the evidence of the big bang as the source of life on the planet outside of a trillion trillion to one chance and then you can say that it is more evidence then idea that myths that cross cultures could have something to do with this kind of thing take megolithic structures and explain that even using modern techniques of building.
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. WTF!? Please, someone tell me that this is not saying what I think it's saying.
this is a masterful collection of quotes, thank you for taking the time to make it.will send it to all of my atheist friends. even though i only have one.lol.
Humans are smart enough to ponder the universe, but sadly we are not smart enough to figure it out. Some times I think the concept of a creator God is kinda a small minded primative theory. The best our little 5 pound human brains could come up with. Truth is, we just don't know how our universe came to be. I'm happy to leave it at that.
@Ebuverthebicepcurler Mark Twain lost a child and went into a deep depression over it. Before that he was a believer, but the death of his child appeared to shake his faith in God. Most of his atheist quotes are rants against what he saw as the callousness of God.
@Matur1n And the hypocrisy and cruelty of the Christians of his time. His daughter apparently said he would for a moment believe in an afterlife, then the next not, but that he usually did. Maybe he lied to comfort her, but that certainly makes it hard to guess exactly what he believed. Also, Immanuel never was an expressed atheist, though he was strong in pointing out the flaws in dogma and metaphysics. In fact, it seems he wished to find a new way of reviving theology and metaphysics
@Ebuverthebicepcurler Correction- it more than seems Immanuel wanted to revive metaphysics- it is his central work! Sadly, no one solved the problem of finding a way of really really knowing what's true, and metaphysics now tends to be a study of how exactly you cant know what you know, which means it is an attack on itself(oddly enough).
@Matur1n Im not sure if he was a full ahteist either. Some of his atheistic quotes are my favorite. I heard that his daughters disowned Twain and didnt talk to him near the end of his life.
@bdf2718 He made quotes against Christianity and faith, but he also went to church and his daughter said he went back and forth. Don't get me wrong, I'd love him to be an atheist, but it seems he went back and forth, at least publicly.
@themsfightinwoids "No honest Christian can just gloss over this video."
Why? Just because Edison hasn't seen something it can't exist? Many of the other quotes are so obviously false on their face that the scriptures stand out as the only truth in the video.
@TheAnniepies The Dawkins quote is particularly wrong. Nothing about Christianity teaches us to be satisfied as Dawkins claims. In fact, many of us are spurred by Christianity to learn more the world and God's handiwork in it. I live in a research area near a major university. Nearly everyone at my church are researchers, grad students, computer nerds and teachers. Dawkins parrots mindless stereotypes about religion and doesn't seem to care that he does.
Great video.

@indignant99 It's a theory and it is not wild ass speculation many revisionist historians believe in the idea of ancient technological socities being the source for the myths of gods, it has more evidence than that of the big bang being the source of life on earth. I am just saying do some homework before you go trying to slander something you have done no research into.

@Rents66 "it has more evidence than that of the big bang being the source of life on earth"
It would be nice if you did some 'homework' too.

@kidslovesatan Explain to me the evidence of the big bang as the source of life on the planet outside of a trillion trillion to one chance and then you can say that it is more evidence then idea that myths that cross cultures could have something to do with this kind of thing take megolithic structures and explain that even using modern techniques of building.

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. WTF!? Please, someone tell me that this is not saying what I think it's saying.

Humans are smart enough to ponder the universe, but sadly we are not smart enough to figure it out. Some times I think the concept of a creator God is kinda a small minded primative theory. The best our little 5 pound human brains could come up with. Truth is, we just don't know how our universe came to be. I'm happy to leave it at that.

Wondrous, though at least Mark Twain wasn't a known atheist(though he may have been).
Ebuverthebicepcurler 1 year ago
@Ebuverthebicepcurler Mark Twain lost a child and went into a deep depression over it. Before that he was a believer, but the death of his child appeared to shake his faith in God. Most of his atheist quotes are rants against what he saw as the callousness of God.
Matur1n 1 year ago
@Matur1n And the hypocrisy and cruelty of the Christians of his time. His daughter apparently said he would for a moment believe in an afterlife, then the next not, but that he usually did. Maybe he lied to comfort her, but that certainly makes it hard to guess exactly what he believed. Also, Immanuel never was an expressed atheist, though he was strong in pointing out the flaws in dogma and metaphysics. In fact, it seems he wished to find a new way of reviving theology and metaphysics
Ebuverthebicepcurler 1 year ago
@Ebuverthebicepcurler Correction- it more than seems Immanuel wanted to revive metaphysics- it is his central work! Sadly, no one solved the problem of finding a way of really really knowing what's true, and metaphysics now tends to be a study of how exactly you cant know what you know, which means it is an attack on itself(oddly enough).
Ebuverthebicepcurler 1 year ago
@Matur1n Im not sure if he was a full ahteist either. Some of his atheistic quotes are my favorite. I heard that his daughters disowned Twain and didnt talk to him near the end of his life.

bdf2718 1 year ago
@bdf2718 He made quotes against Christianity and faith, but he also went to church and his daughter said he went back and forth. Don't get me wrong, I'd love him to be an atheist, but it seems he went back and forth, at least publicly.

@themsfightinwoids "No honest Christian can just gloss over this video."
Why? Just because Edison hasn't seen something it can't exist? Many of the other quotes are so obviously false on their face that the scriptures stand out as the only truth in the video.

@BattleshipTx Truth is a tricky subject when one proclaims truth one should put fourth their notion of what the essence of truth is.

@BattleshipTx Bullshit. Name a single quote and a conflicting scriptural quote that makes more sense. I dare you.
TheAnniepies 1 year ago
@TheAnniepies The Dawkins quote is particularly wrong. Nothing about Christianity teaches us to be satisfied as Dawkins claims. In fact, many of us are spurred by Christianity to learn more the world and God's handiwork in it. I live in a research area near a major university. Nearly everyone at my church are researchers, grad students, computer nerds and teachers. Dawkins parrots mindless stereotypes about religion and doesn't seem to care that he does.
