Dr. William Lane Craig: Does God Exist? (Part 1 of 4)

Dr. William Lane Craig is a brilliant philosopher and theologian with doctorates and many accomplishments in both disciplines.

I am a longtime admirer of his work, as he has the wonderful ability to express compelling AND straightfoward arguments that provide evidence for reasonable faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.

This narration of his excellent essay/treatise: "Does God Exist" is presented with the greatest respect and thanks to Dr. Bill!

Please pray for his continued ministry in acedemia as he brings the light of Jesus Christ to colleges around the world.

Thanks,
Keith

you stat that the infinate is just an idea of the mind, yet "eternal life" is one of the central ideas in christianity, isnt that contradicting? (I'm just curious, i'm no religious man, nor am i an atheist, i just beleve what i see, and imagen the rest)

@Jeremias91Norway

Infinite is an idea of the mind in the sense that it is a conceptual extrapolation of the known physical world i.e.: there is always one more mile, one more year, etc... this does not contradict eternity, rather it shows eternity transcends the known physical world.

PS: I agree that imagination is important - as long as it is not vain imagination, it is a way God has provided our minds to interpret, and access beyond what we call reality (i.e.: the stimulus of of our limited senses).

anarchism and other political systems that promote a classless society are the hope of humanity to deliver us from evil and yes life in a way has no meaning but so what that is a humbling thought and we should do the best for evolutionary reasons and  promote behaviors that secure the preservation of the species and a peaceful life which promotes a longer lifespan

[lastdaysguitar]

@DanteWhite Anarchism does NOT deliver from evil!, it is freedom to do evil without consequence.

And taking the position life has no meaning is not only insane, but a lie: if you REALLY believed that you'd stop eating, writing on youtube, etc...

You are being contrary - not for logical reasons, but to avoid the reality of God.

Being deceived, you may well not realize that though.

@drcraigvideos I saw the distinction. The thing of it in terms of the explanation of the cosmological argument.

[lastdaysguitar]

@craesykid And that's the core problem... you have been fooled into thinking that just putting chemicals together creates life - one small problem with that: it doesn't happen that way and never has.

But you'll keep wallowing in ignarance in order to try to avoid God and persevere in sin, but when you die you WILL have to face Him, either as Savior, or Judge.

Yout "theory" IS very unlikely, what is much more likely is a supreme, omniscient multi-dimensional (He created them) eternal creator.

@lastdaysguitar anatomy, and retroviruses. As far as abiogenesis goes, i don''t really think it is all that unlikely. the idea that about 22 chemicals came together seems possible to me. early earth obviously had very different conditions than current earth, explaining why it isn't happening now. with the earth, a collection of hot gasses formed at a good place around the sun, a comet collided with it, the comets rock solidified and the debris formed the moon. once again, not very unlikely.

@craesykid A SYSTEM... a system that created itself???!!!

PS: There is not even a single case of proven inter species evolution, it JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY!

[craesykid]

@lastdaysguitar That's the thing. Darwin's theory wasn't perfect, and as we learned more, we refined it. Secondly, evolution isn't random, it has a system; species more fit to the habitat survive better, and therefore produce better, and therefore their offspring have the qualities that helped the parents survive. Did you know that in all of history there has never been a case of a big magic man blowing stuff into existence? We have plenty of evidence for evolution, including genetics,(tbc)
