If we didn't assume natural selection and mutation in our function in genetics, we wouldn't have most modern medicine. I like this guy but it seems like evolution is a fight he's unprepared for :/

[Revfiskj]

@MCulpa hmmm...did I debate natural selection or mutation? no...don't think i did. >.> been a while since I made it though. no doubt: natural selection exists and mutation happens. that's a world apart from "we cam from one celled organisms by happenstance."

So I agree with you that having the Book of Concord translated into other languages is a totally awesome and necessary thing to do. I was wondering though, if you've ever mentioned or talked about the thousands of languages in the world that do not yet have a Bible translated. Have you covered that topic or are you at all involved in that first step in the process before our confessional books can even make sense? (full disclosure, I work for a Bible translation organization)

[Revfiskj]

@missionmobilizer Well - there are millions of lanugages spoken by small people groups and then there are a few languages spoken by millions. The math is pretty simple.  The fact is, translating the Bible but not translating doctrine (such as the creed, or hymns, or the confessions) is kind of silly. It's like telling a new doctor he has to figure it all out on his own by looking at the human body. Pretty silly approach really. Ideally, work in translation would find a happy medium.

Great video! You might want to use the expression I've heard: "There is more good evidence that Y'shua (Jesus) lived and died and rose again, than there is evidence that you and I exist." Lee Strobel's books ("The Case for a Creator" and "The Case for Jesus") are also quite good for those prefering less technical arguments. May God bless you and make these videos effective in reaching as wide an audience as possible.

As a biologist, who has taught biology for years, I know that the generation of life from a dead environment is impossible, not just difficult. The probabilities of random physical and chemical processes resulting in living cells, even bacteria, is absurd, so I have to guess that other biologists can teach that crap and still sleep at night because they don't understand the improbability of it.

@Revfiskj

I'm admittedly not a biologist, but a similar process seems evident in the fossil record, and the process of NS & mutation, left to itself, would naturally create more complex life more adapted to its environment.

Oh, BTW: I *do* like your videos, going to recommend them to every Christian with an interest in theology I can find, my pastor included.

I didn't mean to be offensive in the comment; hope it wasn't construed as such. Great to see you respond; keep up the good work.

Xenophobia is defined as "an unreasonable fear of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange :)

That costume idea is hilarious!

@authorandrewcothran Any level of corruption taints evidence. Science or more specifically the scientific method is only as good as its evidence. If the evidence is corrupted then the conclusions are not reliable. If you read the articles in journals you will see they have a tendency to site a variable "p". That variable is the statistical number indicating likely accuracy of the test. Even science acknowledges its level of uncertainty.

[aggierev]

@authorandrewcothran Actually the corruption of creation is objective truth. Is not the breakdown of our DNA a sign of corruption? Essentially science is only a systematized approach to natural knowledge and it can only tell us so much. It can touch on truth but never discover absolute truth. One it is limited by its practitioners and two a good chunk of truth has/had to be revealed.
