"God himself is invisible. He is a spirit." Having the attributes of being composed of "spirit" does not make God formless and invisible. He has form. He is the Original Person and He makes himself visible to the faithful. His personality is not subjected to our limited conception of personality. His personality is unlimited but that does not make him formless or void. He is beyond the reach of our senses but for one whose eyes are anointed with the sauve of Love can easily see him.
Heres the thing if you listened to an atheist and/or evolutionary biologist speak and then were able to ask questions just ask this. how did it all start? They will say "we dont know" so they claim fact base on a uncertanity. There house is built without a foundation and will soon be demolished by true reason and the might of God. My foundation is the rock of ages and will stand even in the darkest of storms. God bless to all.
@MissJessieG Since God necessarily exists outside of space and time, He had no beginning, nor will He have an end. He simply is. He is that which exists. "I Am that I Am." The concept is mind-boggling, but the conclusion is inescapable.
YES, well done Lee Strobel!!! I applaud your honesty and common sense!!! Like you, I believe the scientific evidence points to a Divine Creator! It requires MORE faith to deny God's existence than to believe in Him!!! The fools who choose to believe the UNscientific LIE that there is no God are idiots + dishonest numbskulls who should be ignored and pitied. Jesus is Creator!!!
You know what I find interesting? The fact that some people believe in a creator has the ability to spur other people into a rage. Why? I'm deeply religious, and I don't think that people who are committed Atheists are stupid, or horrible people for thinking the way they do. They are, in fact, just as necessary to the scope of human existence as anyone or anything else. The fact that I believe in a God doesn't make you a devil, it just means that we're different. So let me believe, okay?
Haha people are stupid. There is no way near any evidence for god or jesus. Get over your stupid imaginary friends. You are an adult for crying out load.
I have to agree with demoskunk... This documentary might seem like it suports the idea of a creator but when you look closer it pretty much falls apart.
Thank You Father for Lee Strobel. It is amazing and awesome to know God through Jesus Christ. He is my best friend. He has NEVER let me down. I cannot wait to see His face one day when He calls me home. My personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the greatest HOPE. He is the only HOPE for mankind.
All of these Creationist arguments have been debunked years ago. Only people who are willfully ignorant of science and reality fall for these arguments.
The "Theory" of Intelligent Design is not science because it does not increase our knowledge or understanding of the natural world. All it says is, "God did it."
@demoskunk Sorry, but no, none of them has been debunked.
YOUR straw man that ID and creation science is just "God Did it" is what has been debunked. Creation science not only increased understanding of the natural world, Christianity and creation philosophy actually BUILT modern science. See this presentation by Dr. Hannam, Ph.D in the history of science from Cambridge.
@demoskunk Intelligent design does increase our understanding. in fact that was explained in the series. I possess a scientific mind, and i still believe in a creator. Look at how much science has explained... seriously. 50 years ago the ideas expressed by science were totally different from the ideas expressed today. 500 years ago, same story, larger scale. 10 years from now, science will tell us something different from what it does today.
I've EXPERIENCED Christian doctrine for all of my life. I've noticed that there is a significant difference between experiencing and studying; not to belittle your studies by any means! However, I would like to side with scripture on this point: that God's ways are far higher than my ways. I am totally willing to accept the idea that some things that don't necessarily make sense to me WON'T make sense to me and don't necessarily NEED to for me to believe in God.
So then, you blindly subscribe to something that you don't believe you can fully understand? To an outside observer, it is incredibly illogical. On top of that, I have no more reason to accept the Christian beliefs than I do, say, Muslim beliefs. Believers in faiths throughout the world have personal anecdotes that allow them to support their beliefs.
I don't fully understand a lot of things in the world. There's many brilliant men and women who study the bizarre unpredictable world of quantum physics and string theory that would say immediately that they believe in what they study. Simply because one can't fully understand something doesn't mean that that something is any less real or true.
I'm also unsure as to how Muslim beliefs or personal anecdotes relate to what we're saying. Don't pull a red herring!! :)
To address the first point you made, one doesn't "believe" in science. Science is a process used to propose hypotheses and extract evidence that either confirms or refutes the proposed hypotheses. Scientists don't "believe" in quantum physics, or any other area of study. Rather, they accept that evidence supports the hypotheses within that field. God has no tangible evidence and the best we can do is rely on a book that was written many years ago. The comparison isn't really valid.
You're telling me that your beliefs are correct and that your god wants me to accept him. The problem is that, not only can I not make sense of your beliefs, your beliefs conflict with other beliefs. I see no reason to accept your beliefs over another set of beliefs or vice versa. I'm not sure how you can make the assertion that Christianity is correct while insisting that all other beliefs are incorrect. Muslims believe that Islam is correct. Why are they wrong?
I would advise you to look at some basic doctrine books on Christianity if you're interested in learning about the Lord. Check out "called to believe teach and confess" by steven mueller. A lot of what you're saying is incorrect in the light of Christian doctrine. If you decide to pursue this book, blessings on your reading. If you don't I hope God will pursue you to the end anyway. :)
I understand Christian doctrine quite well. I have studied it for much of my life. The problems that I raise have to do with the implications of Christian doctrine. I'm aware that no Christian believes that god created humans to be evil, but that is the implication since god willingly created Adam and Eve whom he knew would sin and introduce evil into the world. While god could choose to circumvent the problem of sin, he clearly does not and that makes no sense. Do you not agree?
@TheSeventhSon the way i think about that is if he wanted to he could create robots to worship him or he could give you free will to choose to worship him.
The one true creator come down to earth to pay for our sin debt, so we don't have to pay for it ourselves. Jesus Christ is the living God and he created every living thing, including you! He wants you to accept Him as your personal savior and Lord so that he can express His love in your life. Don't wait, the day of salvation is now!
So, tell him to come visit me some time in a way that I can easily identify him as the visitor. No ambiguous messages, just god himself. I'll be waiting.
@TheSeventhSon I MEAN SURELY GOD CAN JUST WRITE IN THE SKY: "REPENT OR YOU SHALL PERISH!!" BUT NO I DONT THINK GOD! IS U KNOWW FORCED TO DO THAT KIND OGF EVIDENCE.:)
How convenient, god isn't forced to provide evidence. Very convenient. Despite the fact that scripture says that god loves us all and hopes that we choose to follow him, he refuses to perform the simple act of letting us know that he exists. Yeah, that makes sense.
This is what God had in mind when He sent Jesus. :) He humbled Himself and came to the earth as a man, partially to show you how much He loves you and that He understands you as He has been through the same pain and trial that humans have. I have also seen Him show up in miraculous in people's lives who seek and ask to see Him for who he really is. I pray that even as you read this you see Him revealed to you and you would more fully know how much He adores you. :) Psalm 130.
Why would an omnipotent, omniscient god create the sin that he hates which would then require himself to sacrifice himself to save the world from the sin that he initially created. This makes absolutely no sense. On top of that, why would god punish his creation that is an abomination due to how he created them? Again, this makes no sense.
We do not even know where or how far the edge of the universe is. How big do you say is the creator? If you were created in his image (the first humans are about 3 ft tall), how the hell did he create an infinite universe? Mmm Yes, he is the ultimate, most powerful, omnipotent being who was not created and just appeared from nowhere. Well, if this is not a foolish way of thinking about our existence then I do not know what normal is.
If science can explain everything than i'd like to know how the sexes originated and why? Abiogenesis cannot produce life (it has been proven), so how did life originate and why? Answer pls!
True to that, but in in-herently complexity and the facts that the universe has a cause for its exsistance and a purpose. Then that opens the realization of a reality beyond space and time. And so god can exsist everywhere, everywhen, of any time. So no I don't think I or anyone can ever truly explain wverything about intelligent design really works. But please try to always keep an open mind.
If we accept for the sake of argument that science proves that life was intelligently designed then that in no way endorses a Christian God Creator. Perhaps it was done by an alien sub commitee or the Celestial Bureaucracy. Maybe it was Odin or Ptah.
But I don't see any aliens, Odin, or Ptah making such a claim. I have seen no evidence for such claims. I don't see anyone besides God of the Bible making that claim, and with enough evidence and reason to believe so.
@sk8er4lyfe7 No Odin is not a creator god but Ptah most certainly is. He is credited with creating the Universe, and many people believed in him for thousands of years. Just because there are few (or no) believers in Him now does not mean that he is the One True God. And if you wiki "creator gods" you will find scores of references to gods believed by some to be the originators of everything.
@sk8er4lyfe7 As for evidence look at all the inscriptions in the ruins and pyramids of ancient Egypt. They were holy and sacred for these people and they are still there. However I don't think this is any more evidence than the Bible. The probabilities are about the same.
But I don't see any aliens, Odin, or Ptah making such a claim. I have seen no evidence for such claims. I don't see anyone besides God of the Bible making that claim, and with enough evidence and reason to believe so.

@GhettoInnovations Zeus was worshiped and believed in for thousands of years. We know of famous sons such as Hercules and we know of heroes who followed Zeus and other gods to battle and wars such as the Trojan War. We have found the ruins of Troy and we have great writers of the time who wrote of these gods and heroes in detail and many of these stories carry grave moral messages about good and evil and the folly of mortals and immortals alike. Profound stuff.
This is an excellent way to make it clear to people that "The theroy of intelligent design is not soully a theistic beleif that god was the creator, and its not baste on purly theistic belief. It is based off of valid scientific evidence of such complexity and fine tunning that it's simply impossible for everything to have come out of nothing with-out being caused by an intelligence to give a cause for origin."

@Dragonstorm62190 Once again: if life is too complex to have not been intelliigently designed then the same rules apply to the being or beings that created us. Otherwise Intelligent Design IS a Theist belief system.
@MuddyTonic Yes but if you decide there is a creator then you stop looking at how a cell or a bacterium could evolve and instead just close the book. Problem solved! Until there is absolutely unequivical evidence that life was designed AND we know exactly who was the designer with POSITIVE PROOF then we cannot accept ID. Anyway, scientists do have hypotheses on how cells and bacterium with motors evolved. We are a long way from a dead end.
@MuddyTonic I think the opposite would be true. To believe that complex creations arose from minerals churning on rocks I think would be a failure of intellect.
@MuddyTonic Coming from a guy who has clearly committed intellectual Seppuku. Everything said here has either already been proved wrong or is so logically flawed as to be unintelligible. This was utter crap and I only watched it to be courteous to a family member. I am telling you that 100% of the arguments in this video are WRONG.
So, there is a thing that created everything but is much more complicated than the other things, but whom/which doesn’t need a more complicated thing to create the creator thing? This is brilliant.
People should just stop fighting and realize that this video is true!!! God is real! Its obvious! Now get over yourselves and realize that you have to obey the law of the old covanent anymore, because the bible itself says the law is the ministry of death and condemnation and its only purpose was to show us that we needed a savior. Were under grace now, God's unmerited favor! We just need to have faith in Him, and build a relationship! He's there, waiting for you!
@mhearstify The theist way is the real way. And its proven in this video (Who Created God? Where Did God Come From? Proof of God). And I mean this all in a nice way, im not trying to be mean! (:
You mean while the atheist sees and worships God as ultimate death. The theist seeks to understand and establish a relationship with a transcendental (beyond the influence of material energies) person. The latter being yours and my preference. :)
@MissKatRob "Im confused, are you on Creationist side, or atheist side?"
The opinion of authoritative literatures on the topic of transcendence (includes the Holy Bible) is that all material energies must have an "energetic", meaning an origin. The exception is the spiritual spark that is the living-entity who is in fact separate from his earthly body. This spiritual energy -- me or you -- has no material origin. And in that context I/we are eternal. That makes me a theist, I think :)
@purepwn01 Yo...I don't want create an argument but just to answer your question....nobody, He's out side of time. Its already been proven by the Law of Conservation which states: Energy Cannot be created or destroyed, So the bible claim of an Eternal God is not too far-fetched. God, as stated in the bible, is "almighty" a reference to might and physical power. Its also stated that "his presence is like consuming fire".
@purepwn01 ...So technically speaking, he's like our sun but a billion times more powerful...& "billion" is something that can't be exaggerated. Also nobody believes in created gods that would defeat the purpose of using him as an explanation.
The "complexity" argument is quite dead. Yes, the world and everything in it is wonderful. But if God exists, that changes everything. God would be greater than anything in the universe, including all the universes. Yet, God just exists, without a cause, without a purpose, without any given meaning whatsoever. God is utterly arbitrary and exists "just because". By default, theists have no choice but to admit that EVEN THE GREATEST THING IN EXISTENCE... Just exists. No cause. That is pathetic.
@buddhasknowbest If God exists then He had a cause. The creation of the universe. So if God just existed with no cause then why did he make the universe and everything in it?
@ZigTheHunter Strobel argues that certain missing proofs of scientific theories point toward a creator. One type of psychological projection assessment is done by showing a person a picture and asking them their interpretation of what is occuring. The point is not to find the correct answer, it's to analyze their way of thinking. A theist's preconceived ideas will lead them time and again to assume that God exists, based on a lack of evidence against it.
To "provide evidence"and to"convince"is two very different things: When someone have a particular strong bias,no amount of evidence will ever be enough to convince him otherwise. However,that in itself does not invalidate the evidence.After 7 years of comparing the arguments,I now know that God has provided overwhelming evidence for His existence.Yet the fool wants to be his own master,and commit intellectual fraud by claiming, despite the evidence, "God does not exist."
intelligent design has no scientific basis...zero its cherry picking. oh bye the Strobel the earth revolves around the sun....does that mean there is no God.
@kaben1979 People don't analyze how fallacious arguments are. So they feel like a bunch of bad arguments equate to a good one. That's why these length videos work.
What the hell is the difference between A)believing every human being was made by God and B)every human being evolved from early life form??? What makes the case A more compelling than B? I feel sorry for people who believe the case A. Get real...
What is Stroebel trying to prove? Okay, human bodies are truly complicated, and so are other life forms. So you are going to believe Christian "GOD"??? I think this is not complete.
The amount of quote mining and incomplete, biased, selection of data to prove a point he seems to hold prior makes me find his claim of objectivity and honest inquiry doubtful in itself. I noticed at least five examples of quote mining. Selectively taking a portion of what something says out of context to make it seem to support what you are promoting when in fact it doesn't. This intellectual dishonesty. The attempt to arbitrarily delimit micro and macro evolution is absolute nonsense.
@Elizaw00 Hey bro. I noticed some oddly suspicious things in these vids, but I don't have a vast enough basis of info. to notice that kind of stuff. Could you point some of that out in a PM? I'd appreciate it.
The book says ... man was made in the image of "god" ..there fore I believe that every man (person) has god in him/her..its just how we respond to the calling...to a hihger authority..that reveals more of the good nature in us....to others
You can lead an atheist to wisdom, but you can't make them think. Why? El has hardened their hearts. Diciples of Shatan wanting to being everyone down w/ him? SAD.
El's Law v man's law. Study it, tell me which is the better.
I'm sorry but the truth can never be reached through the instruments of symbolism, i.e. thought, reasoning, logic. They can only at best point to the truth, but might as well to falsehood. You should not believe in God, you must KNOW God. If you're skeptical, you should at least try to understand what I mean.
There is a creator after all, but she's not some being, she is everything that exists, everything that is.
The Bible is not only relevant, but the most relavent thing we have;it gives us revelation to what's really going on beind the scenes. it gives us a look through all fallacies and shows us the way things really are.its clear that without the Bible, there is only chaos & anarchy. we separated Church & state & look at the condition of USA. When the church is raptured, there will be all hell broken out on Earth because the Christians wont be here to sustain the world. Id say its very relevant.
@stephenexmachina You implied that the Bible isn't relevant today. I simply pointed out how wrong you were. How can a text that is the number one seller worldwide every year, not be of any relevance today? Zeus? Are you joking? You're comparing Zeus to Jesus Christ?
"The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God stands forever. isaiah 40:8
@lightbrownpoop Just b/c it's a worlds best seller means nothing, it says nothing of the validity of it, nor if the buyers later comprehend or bother to read it fully. This would explain why polls show that many self labeled Christians can't even name the 10 commandments never mind the other 100. 1/2 get questions like 'who spoke on the sermon of the mt' wrong.
@agentorange20 all of the predictions in the bible have come true so far. a good example is the explosion of information it said would occur. look around, this last century has been a giant step in what we can do with technology. up until the 1900s we were riding horses, then all of a sudden cars, trains, jets, spacecraft. what next.
@lightbrownpoop Amen.Plus biblical prophecy is very prevalent in these days, the signs are here in these days(look at Israel for example)..Praise the Lord Jesus Christ, the end is coming...get ready my fellow brother or sister :)
@lightbrownpoop say that again in the next few decades when islam becomes the most popular religion on earth. I think you'll find the truth of those words extends beyond the religion that produced them, that religion being judaism
@lightbrownpoop It has no relevance. We don't have slaves, condoen the beating of women or children, women can vote, we allow freedom to believe in any God, we don't commit genocide or pillage anymore. The Bible is not relevent in this modern world. It is not the word of God, but the words of many superstitious peoplle claiming to know God, yet the supposed God who created the universe knew no more than the authors of the book. It is obvious that the authors know nothing about the cosmos.
"We don't have slaves, condoen the beating of women or children, women can vote, we allow freedom to believe in any God, we don't commit genocide or pillage anymore."
-You think all that came from atheism? You have to be a complete fool! First of all you never read the Bible and yet you talk about it! If you have read it then you can tell me where exactly, in the NT, it is written that christians need to have slaves, have to beat their women etc.! Tell me a verse!
@lightbrownpoop Leviticus 15: enjoy your lords petty perversions! Apropos name BTW. Enjoy being on the losing side of history like all the religious fools that have come before you.
@lightbrownpoop then do us all a favor and don't quote mine that desert scroll. For every bit of profound poetry you find I will in turn offer you some pathetic passage of archaic nomad prose that holds no relevance to today. Quit while you're behind. wink smiley emoticon.
@stephenexmachina Well you're obviously quite ignorant of the life transforming power of the Christian faith that's happening before your very eyes. See what's happening throughout the world, especially China? The Holy Spirit = fake = christianity should have died out by now. The Holy Spirit = real = christianity should still be thriving today. Look around, whats happening? Ever wonder why Christians continue to believe?
What I can't believe is what kind of dullards atheist are. Moreover, what's side splittingly funny is that by posting this comment I will have enraged countless atheists with absolutely no detrimental effect on myself whatsoever (ha ha).
This was great. No honest & sincere person can doubt there is a God, who created all.
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. | Revelation 4:11
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. | Psalm 148:5
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. | Isaiah 45:12
Even if a so-called supernatural creator existed, it's obvious to anyone capable of observing reality without bias, fear, ego, arrogance & ignorance that this 'creator' is 100% abstract & unknowable at best, completely detached from it's creation since the beginning & thus totally indistinguishable from chaotic order of raw nature. Everything else is pathetic, manufactured mythology by frightened, arrogant & egotistical little men, who can't deal with their true place in our universe.
My data? I'm not the scientist that is responsible for these genius ideas. There is plenty of data within the scientific literature. My degrees? I'm currently finishing my B.S. in biomedical engineering and will begin obtaining my M.S. in the same field starting next year.
@TheSeventhSon Then what will your degrees mean when you attain them?! Albert Einstein said, " I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are just details" . You tend to flip flop way too much. Stick to your guns man. I wish the best for your carreer, really. But really you need Jesus.
What else would my degrees mean? A degree shows that one is qualified in a field within academia. Don't know what you're getting at there. Flip flop? What? What are you referring to? I do not need an imaginary friend.
@TheSeventhSon On another note... Darwin was shocked that people took his THEORY so litteraly! Based on the evidence he had at the time it was plossible, but when our technology increased the idea fell apart. Animals have evolved over time a little( and that's no small feat), but we have not. In fact we loose technology as fast as we gain others! That is unless you have gills, Kevin.
No, he was not shocked. Darwin spent significant amounts of time taking observations and formulating his ideas. Technology has only proved the theory of evolution. Unless of course you completely negate the hundreds of thousands of peer reviewed articles that support the theory. Animals have evolved but somehow Darwin was wrong? You said I was flip flopping? Make up your mind. What do gills have to do with anything? I'm going to guess that you don't understand evolution very well.
For me this did a great job showing that signs point to a creator, short of being able to conclusively prove it. However, if we use that same logic, all signs point to the fact that all religions are entirely creations of man. No where was the word bible or jesus mentioned in that video.
@jaf625 It doesn't have to speak of religion because thats not the point of the DVD...the point is to prove a creator and this DVD does that very well. However if you wish to read up about JESUS and what he said and what he did it proves that Jesus is God. The bible, the universe, and archaeology prove all of the above.
The bible, if being taken as historically accurate, describes things taking place that defy the very laws and physics that enable life to exist. Sure, god could manipulate those physics to prove himself to us. But as this video shows we can see him without those things. If god is perfect, which is the way we see him, then he wouldnt have spoken to us the way the bible says if we would have found him on our own.
This video describes the infinitesimal odds of these events taking place on their own, as evidence of a creator. So lets take that a step further. Wed find a lot more evidence that religion was man made than evidence for god in this video, the latter being what we except. Religions/bible are entirely creations of man. If god constructed the universe so flawlessly in a way that we could discover him, why would the ways in which we worship him differ so much?
@jaf625 No your wrong again. The bible was dictated to man BY GOD. There are prophecies in the bible that prove it is the word of God. Prophecies about the coming messiah, prophecies about the end times, and so on and so on. You have to remember the old and New testaments were written hundreds of years apart but when you lineup the old and new testaments and add historical ancient and eyewitness accounts to them you prove Christ is who he says he was....GOD in the flesh!!!
@thebig1 Those things are pretty convincing. But wait, fujackattack says something different. You think your beliefs are true. He thinks his are true. How about hundreds of other religions that have existed. FAITH DOES NOT EQUAL FACT
Humans have flown to the moon, split the atom, cloned animals, cured diseases, mapped the genome, transformed the world to run on computers. But wait, you mean to tell me that books, written at different times that correspond with each other, thats gods doing?
@jaf625 The bible predicted long before all these events MAN'S KNOWLEDGE WOULD INCREASE, it said FALSE PROPHETS WOULD ARISE, IT SAID BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WOULD KNOW IF THEY WERE TRUE OR IF THEY WERE LIARS. The bible is the only book that predicated these events in specificity LONG BEFORE THEY OCCURED.
@agentorange20 No really its not my friend. If the sun was just off by an inch to the left we would burn up. If the sun was off an inch the opposite way we would freeze. Big bang didn't create that kind of complexity but an creator did. Same goes for all species on earth today.
@thebig1 Of course the new testament fulfills prophecies in the old testament. They had the previous book to refer too.
Compare the bible to a book of fairy tales. In what way are they discernable? If you think for yourself in reality they are unable to be differentiated. Of course, go to church and theyll tell you otherwise. Dont forget to donate to the collection basket before you leave.
@jaf625 You moron the New Testament writers put pen to paper after said events happened. The Old Testament books were used as a source to look baCK and see if the event happened just as it said it would. See my point!!!
@thebig1 Good idea, lets listen to historical and eyewitness accounts. Those are reliable because people dont exaggerate or lie, nor do they have greed or other selfish interests.
The problem with that when looking at the early history of Christianity is that we can have a few premises. 1) Jesus of Nazareth lived and died and 2) His followers claimed he had arisen from the dead. What motive dd they have for claiming something they KNEW was false? They were persecuted and killed for decades and centuries. Why? Money? Power? They got neither. That isn't definitive but it lends some support to the posibility of the historical reality of Jesus' resurrection.
The PEOPLE who started religions did so with the influence of god in mind. But they were ultimately creations by people. And people fight with each other. Religions fuel war. God created the universe and life. Everything else, there is conclusive proof who the creator is. People

Islamic theology recognises as many as 124,000 prophets. Five of them (sometimes known as Ulul Azmi or the Imams — literally: "leaders" — of the Rasuls) receive the highest reverence for their perseverance and unusually strong commitment to God in the face of great suffering, namely[citation needed]:
1. Nuh (Noah)
2. Ibrahim (Abraham)
3. Musa (Moses)
4. Isa (Jesus)
5. Muhammad
"I bear witness that there is no god but the Almighty God and that Muhammad is the last messenger of God."
- The Hebrew Bible refers to God as Elohim which is similar to Allah/ Ellah/ Allahom.
- The word that corresponds to Allah in Aramaic language (the mother tongue of Jesus), and used in the Aramaic Bible, is Elaha. - The word that corresponds to Allah in Syriac language, and used in the Syriac Bible, is Alaha.
@Fujackattack Allah was one of many God's that Muhammad worshiped as did many arabs at the time. The truth is Allah is the MOON GOD and Muhammad picked him as THE GOD of the MUSLIM FAITH. Do the research and look it up....better yet look at the symbol of Islam on there flags....ITS A CRESENT MOON!!!
The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years. Information on the origins of the symbol are difficult to ascertain, but most sources agree that these ancient celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia in their worship of sun, moon, and sky gods. There are also reports that the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Carthaginian goddess Tanit or the Greek goddess Diana.
@Fujackattack Doesn't change the fact that arabs had many GOd's and after Muhammad sim,ply chose one of them to be " GOD " They choose the one called ALLAH which history tells us was the MOON GOD!!!
Sun and Moon gods were worshipped all over the world. However each nation called them with various names.
Arabs were worshipping almost 365 gods & godesses at the time of Muhammad which were THROWN OUTSIDE Kaaba after the conquest of Mecca in 632 AD. Arabs used this word 'Allah & Allat" for all gods and godesses hence Moon god was not the property of Arabs.
Allah did not destroy Arabs because He had a greater Job for them - Establishment of Islam!
"God himself is invisible. He is a spirit." Having the attributes of being composed of "spirit" does not make God formless and invisible. He has form. He is the Original Person and He makes himself visible to the faithful. His personality is not subjected to our limited conception of personality. His personality is unlimited but that does not make him formless or void. He is beyond the reach of our senses but for one whose eyes are anointed with the sauve of Love can easily see him.

@MissJessieG Since God necessarily exists outside of space and time, He had no beginning, nor will He have an end. He simply is. He is that which exists. "I Am that I Am." The concept is mind-boggling, but the conclusion is inescapable.

They are, in fact, just as necessary to the scope of human existence as anyone or anything else. The fact that I believe in a God doesn't make you a devil, it just means that we're different.

All of these Creationist arguments have been debunked years ago. Only people who are willfully ignorant of science and reality fall for these arguments.
The "Theory" of Intelligent Design is not science because it does not increase our knowledge or understanding of the natural world. All it says is, "God did it."
That's an intellectual dead end.

@demoskunk Sorry, but no, none of them has been debunked.
YOUR straw man that ID and creation science is just "God Did it" is what has been debunked. Creation science not only increased understanding of the natural world, Christianity and creation philosophy actually BUILT modern science. See this presentation by Dr. Hannam, Ph.D in the history of science from Cambridge.

I don't fully understand a lot of things in the world.

To address the first point you made, one doesn't "believe" in science. Science is a process used to propose hypotheses and extract evidence that either confirms or refutes the proposed hypotheses. Scientists don't "believe" in quantum physics, or any other area of study. Rather, they accept that evidence supports the hypotheses within that field. God has no tangible evidence and the best we can do is rely on a book that was written many years ago. The comparison isn't really valid.

I understand Christian doctrine quite well. I have studied it for much of my life. The problems that I raise have to do with the implications of Christian doctrine. I'm aware that no Christian believes that god created humans to be evil, but that is the implication since god willingly created Adam and Eve whom he knew would sin and introduce evil into the world. While god could choose to circumvent the problem of sin, he clearly does not and that makes no sense. Do you not agree?

We do not even know where or how far the edge of the universe is. How big do you say is the creator?

If we accept for the sake of argument that science proves that life was intelligently designed then that in no way endorses a Christian God Creator. Perhaps it was done by an alien sub commitee or the Celestial Bureaucracy. Maybe it was Odin or Ptah.

@sk8er4lyfe7 No Odin is not a creator god but Ptah most certainly is. He is credited with creating the Universe, and many people believed in him for thousands of years. Just because there are few (or no) believers in Him now does not mean that he is the One True God. And if you wiki "creator gods" you will find scores of references to gods believed by some to be the originators of everything.

@sk8er4lyfe7 As for evidence look at all the inscriptions in the ruins and pyramids of ancient Egypt. They were holy and sacred for these people and they are still there. However I don't think this is any more evidence than the Bible. The probabilities are about the same.

The opinion of authoritative literatures on the topic of transcendence (includes the Holy Bible) is that all material energies must have an "energetic", meaning an origin. The exception is the spiritual spark that is the living-entity who is in fact separate from his earthly body. This spiritual energy -- me or you -- has no material origin. And in that context I/we are eternal. That makes me a theist, I think :)

The "complexity" argument is quite dead. Yes, the world and everything in it is wonderful. But if God exists, that changes everything. God would be greater than anything in the universe, including all the universes. Yet, God just exists, without a cause, without a purpose, without any given meaning whatsoever. God is utterly arbitrary and exists "just because". By default, theists have no choice but to admit that EVEN THE GREATEST THING IN EXISTENCE... Just exists. No cause. That is pathetic.

@ZigTheHunter Strobel argues that certain missing proofs of scientific theories point toward a creator. One type of psychological projection assessment is done by showing a person a picture and asking them their interpretation of what is occuring. The point is not to find the correct answer, it's to analyze their way of thinking. A theist's preconceived ideas will lead them time and again to assume that God exists, based on a lack of evidence against it.

To "provide evidence"and to"convince"is two very different things: When someone have a particular strong bias,no amount of evidence will ever be enough to convince him otherwise. However,that in itself does not invalidate the evidence.After 7 years of comparing the arguments,I now know that God has provided overwhelming evidence for His existence.Yet the fool wants to be his own master,and commit intellectual fraud by claiming, despite the evidence, "God does not exist."

Everything else is pathetic, manufactured mythology by frightened, arrogant & egotistical little men, who can't deal with their true place in our universe.

Yeah, the people that hold degrees in the fields just don't know anything. Clearly the uneducated people know more than the researchers themselves.

@TheSeventhSon once again... where is YOUR data? What degree, or degree's do you have? Honestly I'm curious!

@amatrob
My data? I'm not the scientist that is responsible for these genius ideas. There is plenty of data within the scientific literature. My degrees? I'm currently finishing my B.S. in biomedical engineering and will begin obtaining my M.S. in the same field starting next year.

@TheSeventhSon Then what will your degrees mean when you attain them?! Albert Einstein said, " I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are just details" . You tend to flip flop way too much. Stick to your guns man. I wish the best for your carreer, really. But really you need Jesus.

What else would my degrees mean? A degree shows that one is qualified in a field within academia. Don't know what you're getting at there. Flip flop? What? What are you referring to? I do not need an imaginary friend.

@TheSeventhSon On another note... Darwin was shocked that people took his THEORY so litteraly! Based on the evidence he had at the time it was plossible, but when our technology increased the idea fell apart. Animals have evolved over time a little( and that's no small feat), but we have not. In fact we loose technology as fast as we gain others! That is unless you have gills, Kevin.

@amatrob
No, he was not shocked. Darwin spent significant amounts of time taking observations and formulating his ideas. Technology has only proved the theory of evolution. Unless of course you completely negate the hundreds of thousands of peer reviewed articles that support the theory. Animals have evolved but somehow Darwin was wrong? You said I was flip flopping? Make up your mind. What do gills have to do with anything? I'm going to guess that you don't understand evolution very well.

This film confirms what I already perceived... that the creator of our universe shows itself to us through nature. Truly, God exists.

For me this did a great job showing that signs point to a creator, short of being able to conclusively prove it. However, if we use that same logic, all signs point to the fact that all religions are entirely creations of man. No where was the word bible or jesus mentioned in that video.
jaf625 1 year ago
@jaf625 It doesn't have to speak of religion because thats not the point of the DVD...the point is to prove a creator and this DVD does that very well. However if you wish to read up about JESUS and what he said and what he did it proves that Jesus is God. The bible, the universe, and archaeology prove all of the above.

The bible, if being taken as historically accurate, describes things taking place that defy the very laws and physics that enable life to exist. Sure, god could manipulate those physics to prove himself to us. But as this video shows we can see him without those things. If god is perfect, which is the way we see him, then he wouldnt have spoken to us the way the bible says if we would have found him on our own.
jaf625 1 year ago
This video describes the infinitesimal odds of these events taking place on their own, as evidence of a creator. So lets take that a step further. Wed find a lot more evidence that religion was man made than evidence for god in this video, the latter being what we except. Religions/bible are entirely creations of man. If god constructed the universe so flawlessly in a way that we could discover him, why would the ways in which we worship him differ so much?
jaf625 1 year ago
@jaf625 No your wrong again. The bible was dictated to man BY GOD. There are prophecies in the bible that prove it is the word of God. Prophecies about the coming messiah, prophecies about the end times, and so on and so on. You have to remember the old and New testaments were written hundreds of years apart but when you lineup the old and new testaments and add historical ancient and eyewitness accounts to them you prove Christ is who he says he was....GOD in the flesh!!!

@thebig1 Those things are pretty convincing. But wait, fujackattack says something different. You think your beliefs are true. He thinks his are true. How about hundreds of other religions that have existed. FAITH DOES NOT EQUAL FACT
Humans have flown to the moon, split the atom, cloned animals, cured diseases, mapped the genome, transformed the world to run on computers. But wait, you mean to tell me that books, written at different times that correspond with each other, thats gods doing?

@jaf625 The bible predicted long before all these events MAN'S KNOWLEDGE WOULD INCREASE, it said FALSE PROPHETS WOULD ARISE, IT SAID BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WOULD KNOW IF THEY WERE TRUE OR IF THEY WERE LIARS. The bible is the only book that predicated these events in specificity LONG BEFORE THEY OCCURED.

@thebig1 Of course the new testament fulfills prophecies in the old testament. They had the previous book to refer too.
Compare the bible to a book of fairy tales. In what way are they discernable? If you think for yourself in reality they are unable to be differentiated. Of course, go to church and theyll tell you otherwise. Dont forget to donate to the collection basket before you leave.

@jaf625 You moron the New Testament writers put pen to paper after said events happened. The Old Testament books were used as a source to look baCK and see if the event happened just as it said it would. See my point!!!

thebig1, "You moron the New Testament writers put pen to paper after said events happened."
yeah, like decades after the alleged events occurred.
"The Old Testament books were used as a source to look baCK and see if the event happened just as it said it would. "
Conversely the OT could just be used by any contemporary of those days to start a NT cult just like the Mormons did w/ the NT.

@thebig1 Good idea, lets listen to historical and eyewitness accounts. Those are reliable because people dont exaggerate or lie, nor do they have greed or other selfish interests.

@jaf625 Yeah because Darwins theory isnt exaggerated, or based on lies, or used today by anti christian or anti Jewish bigits is it?
thebig1 1 year ago
The problem with that when looking at the early history of Christianity is that we can have a few premises. 1) Jesus of Nazareth lived and died and 2) His followers claimed he had arisen from the dead. What motive dd they have for claiming something they KNEW was false? They were persecuted and killed for decades and centuries. Why? Money? Power? They got neither. That isn't definitive but it lends some support to the posibility of the historical reality of Jesus' resurrection.

The PEOPLE who started religions did so with the influence of god in mind. But they were ultimately creations by people. And people fight with each other. Religions fuel war. God created the universe and life. Everything else, there is conclusive proof who the creator is. People

Islamic theology recognises as many as 124,000 prophets. Five of them (sometimes known as Ulul Azmi or the Imams — literally: "leaders" — of the Rasuls) receive the highest reverence for their perseverance and unusually strong commitment to God in the face of great suffering, namely[citation needed]:
1. Nuh (Noah)
2. Ibrahim (Abraham)
3. Musa (Moses)
4. Isa (Jesus)
5. Muhammad
"I bear witness that there is no god but the Almighty God and that Muhammad is the last messenger of God."

- The Hebrew Bible refers to God as Elohim which is similar to Allah/ Ellah/ Allahom.
- The word that corresponds to Allah in Aramaic language (the mother tongue of Jesus), and used in the Aramaic Bible, is Elaha. - The word that corresponds to Allah in Syriac language, and used in the Syriac Bible, is Alaha.

@Fujackattack Allah was one of many God's that Muhammad worshiped as did many arabs at the time. The truth is Allah is the MOON GOD and Muhammad picked him as THE GOD of the MUSLIM FAITH. Do the research and look it up....better yet look at the symbol of Islam on there flags....ITS A CRESENT MOON!!!
thebig1 1 year ago
The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years. Information on the origins of the symbol are difficult to ascertain, but most sources agree that these ancient celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia in their worship of sun, moon, and sky gods. There are also reports that the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Carthaginian goddess Tanit or the Greek goddess Diana.

@Fujackattack Doesn't change the fact that arabs had many GOd's and after Muhammad sim,ply chose one of them to be " GOD " They choose the one called ALLAH which history tells us was the MOON GOD!!!
thebig1 1 year ago
@thebig1
Sun and Moon gods were worshipped all over the world. However each nation called them with various names.
Arabs were worshipping almost 365 gods & godesses at the time of Muhammad which were THROWN OUTSIDE Kaaba after the conquest of Mecca in 632 AD. Arabs used this word 'Allah & Allat" for all gods and godesses hence Moon god was not the property of Arabs.
Allah did not destroy Arabs because He had a greater Job for them - Establishment of Islam!
Hope you understand the reason.
