Learn about both science and faith. Yes, a scientist can have faith, and talk about both things -- publishing in the best scientific journals while also considering deep issues of faith, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. I love both science and faith, but Jesus the most!
My dear friend I am so sorry to hear all this Injustice. I am not a scientist but I love all the areas of your research and I'm always fascinated by them. I wish I could just hang out with you some afternoon and have you show me things about what God has done in the universe. Keep loving Jesus that's the only thing that matters!
As always, this lunatic begs every conceivable question. Why, for example, would god have created Satan except to torment his human creations and make their lives miserable from beginning to end? If Satan is the source of all evil, why doesn't god destroy him, rid the world of evil, and allow us to worship and serve him without constantly having to avoid succumbing to temptation? Since this nutter is also a chemist, perhaps he can answer a few questions. For example: If corporeal beings are composed of matter of various sorts, and Satan in an incorporeal entity, that what is he made of? If he is something and not nothing, he must be made of something -- but what? How does an incorporeal entity like Satan appear to, and converse with, a corporeal entity like Jesus? Come on, Doc: If you're so smart, you must have some answers. Give 'em up!
Atheism is not a belief system at all, but of course he wanted atheism to be. The typical drag my opponent down to my level and beat him with my experience in blind faith.
Cool but why a litereal satanist gets love from God but what i only get is silence and embarasment and don't even tell me that he repented... that love was probably the only reason why he did so.

My parents don’t believe the earth is flat and neither do I. However, unlike religion, my belief in a globe earth isn’t the result of my parents also believing in it and then teaching me how important it was for me to also believe it while I was growing up. I believe the earth is a globe (oblate spheroid) because of the evidence that it’s a globe and the lack of evidence showing it to be flat. I also don’t have faith in it - faith is the belief in someone or something *without* empirical evidence.
atheism isn't a faith though, it's the absence of faith. Singers parents merely failed to push a faith onto him they did not hold themselves. Also, it's not a counter argument at all, since hypocrisy doesn't render an argument false.
Basically, it is down to 1 thing do we want to love and be loved (= be alive)? Then we ONLY SERVE AND WORSHIP LOVE, OUR DEAR GOD❤!! Please dear JesusCHRIST❤ HELP me to always LOVE Thee every moment more and more, amen!!
Surely atheism is a lack of a belief system, right? It's unusual we even have a word for it. I mean there is no word for disbelief in Santa Claus, or disbelief in fairies. So yeah, nice try John.
Jesus said that so whatever you do to the least of my brothers, do unto me. You return God’s love because of His immense love to you by loving and serving His children, your own brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.
Doesn't the fact that he's an atheist and his parents are also atheist, just MORE support his point? His point is that integenerational doxastic inertia exists. So if he is an example of it, doesn't that just increase the likilhood that you are too?
Atheism isn't a belief system. Atheist parents don't care if their child wants to pick up some religion while religious parents often raise their child up to believe in the same religion especially in the case of christianity. Bro doesn't know what he's talking about.
That’s a good point actually. While I disagree with what John is _trying_ to say - implying that atheism is just as much of a belief system as Christianity - you make a good point that he’s just adding more evidence that you just tend to adopt the same beliefs as your parents - just like he did! Well done sir 👍
Dr. Tour you told them once that’s all you have to do they have to make the decision themselves. I background is a lot like you. I was a Jewish person I was born in New York and I wasn’t religious. You came to Jesus very early. I just recently did it about five years ago, but I love listening to you talk.
Our Perfectly Wise God loves you with a perfect love infinitly more than you will ever be able to love yourself or understand what is good for you. Wouldn't be wise if we just live the life that God wants us to live? He tailored by His own hands from the dephts of His mind the path that truly give us meaning and pleasure. We just need to worship and serve Jesus because He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
In regards to the discussion of certainty in the introduction of section, the reason I left Christianity was somewhat similar. For me though, it wasn’t simply a lack of certainty. It was more than that, it was a lack of anything. I cried out to the lord to help my unbelief, and nothing came.
Life is not a myth. People say oh life is what you make it. That is so wrong. How does that apply to the starving people. The suffering, mental health ptsd, autism. Our circumstances our upbringing is NOT our fault. I know there is so much evidence for God. And Jesus promises eternal life for all of us. That is the greatest hope ever. What does world promise. Nothing because everything this world has to offer is only temporary. Amd people break promises, God doesn't. This world is unfair, God is fair, dint get the two mixed up. A life of suffering seems very pointless and meaningless if athiesm belief was true. I see it impossible for us to be an accident. The immense detail in creation our such complex bodies is not a myth. We are so much more than just chemicals and atoms. The unbelief in God means it takes away everything that makes us human, and is only explained as chemicals reactions in our brain. Which makes no sense. A criminal doesn't tell the judge, oh my chemicals made me commit that crime because I'm just an evolved animal. People do crimes, evil, because we all have free will that God gives us. We choose what we do and we are and should acknowledge we are responsible for our actions and know that there are always consequences for our actions. I know theres a god and I actually have a reason to live , not to give up. But know there is true hope for all of us. History is not a myth. History is a major part of what is taught in schools. It's just sad that schools have taken the Bible out of them. The government want people to trust in them. But from my experience I know they cannot be ever trusted. I know they have failed billions of people, failed the so many foster children, as our lives was ruined and so broken. Thus world takes so so much from us. But Jesus can give it all back and so much more. Athiesm offers no hope, I'm just being totally honest. With athiesm it means no end to starving, wars, no end to all the world's problems but only an increase where evil would ultimately win. People assume all churches are about money and the bad stuff that goes on in many of them. The God I believe in, Jesus, He never intended churches to be like this. That's why Jesus told the truth to the religious leaders. And they didn't like it. They didn't want their evil exposed. Jesus saw ecawhat was in their hearts. They acted in ways like praying in public to make themselves look holy, and all the fancy shiny robes ro make them look more holy. But inside how they treated others showed who they really were. And this is how many big churches are today. A church should about loving , caring and helping others in need. Not asking others for money. All those shiny robes and tall hats dont make them any different or more higher up or above anyone else. Ww have fallen short of God's glory. His gift of eternal life through Jesus is for everyone. Jeaus loves you. He loves of us equally. Jesus is and always will be the greatest and only true hope for this whole world.
