I appreciate how multi-dimensional and thoughtful you are about life. Not everyone presents themselves that way online. Usually one-track minded on a soap box. Cheers.
It’s funny how the Bible never said or asked for us to go out into the world to prove the existence of God. The Bible said to go out and share our faith not just by our words but by our actions, by our love for one another, and by how we love and treat our enemies.
What if someone never learns about any kind of religion. Like a tribe out in the middle of nowhere with no modern technology. What happens to them when they die? they never even had a chance to believe or not believe
@@MegaDudeman21 7 laws of Noah. In that case, because they were never informed that they are judged by their deeds because nobody brought that information to them.
@@MegaDudeman21 Yeah I always found it suspicious that the only people who believe in the Christian faith specifically are ones who have already been told about or exposed to it in some way or another. No one has ever "found" Jesus on their own, without prior knowledge. They first have to be told about him in some capacity. Hence why you find no isolated tribes who miraculously are Christians. You'd think if this religion was the be all and end all, that you would be able to come to the same conclusion as everyone else on your own, internally, without external interference. This applies to every religion of course, just using Christianity as the example.
@@MegaDudeman21 Eternal damnation of course! Courtesy of their loving creator. No biggie though, there's billions of souls that suffered the same fate, and for the same reason, seeing as how there have been an estimated 117 billion humans born on this planet. Which brings up another question - at which point in our evolution did we technically become human, and thereby begin receiving souls? Keeping in mind the bible does not address any of this, on account of the fact that we knew nothing of evolution or the millenia of human existence when the bible was written. Which brings up another point...
Mad respect my dude. Always keep an open mind and remember, just when we think we have things figured out, that's when we realize the game of life just increased the anty! Life is suppose to be a mixture of emotions but absolute certainty isn't one of them.
My respect for you has increased TREMENDOUSLY. It’s so rare to see non-religious black folk. Usually we conceal it as to not draw unnecessary attention, criticism, and ridicule for not following along with the bandwagon.
@@TheN9nth believe what you want to believe. It’s you atheists that are always trying to force your opinions on others. But y’all say that’s what we do. Strangers believing in Jesus does nothing at all to affect your life. You just wanna stand on your soap box so people on the internet can tell you how smart you are. Move on.
During the riots a few days ago I was sat beside an elderly gentleman who asked me how many wars in history are due to religion, how many people that do bad things say God made me do it, never the devil yet he supposed to be the bad one
@@emenz910 Telling people you will die for your sins and go to hell so people pay to go to church and pray. Who do they hand the money to, God? Fear-mongering.
LOVE this conversation Stevie. You said you were waiting for a convincing argument to make you at least consider it- try this. Part of why science is important is because you’re supposed to be able to do an experiment, get a result, and repeat that process in order to confirm that your hypothesis is correct. There is not a single example of life being born from something not alive in the history of human existence. LIFE can’t come from nothingness, if it were possible it’d be at the forefront of this argument. But it isn’t. Science says we came from the Big Bang, I say, if that’s true, what drove the Big Bang, because it can’t be nothingness. That’s not a pertinent answer according to the standards of science. Much love Knight 👌🏾
@@lawrencehaynes6408 that’s the point, God IS the start from which this all spurred. I’m not talking about any specific religion, because I can admit there’s grey area there. But one cannot preach about science and evidence and then attempt to hold the Big Bang as more credible than creation. By the definition of the word, it’s literally not more credible.
@lawrencehaynes6408 you misunderstand those words. God says all things under him are his creation. But God Himself, being the creator, was NOT created. He simply does the creating. The argument being made here is, lest we forget, based off of ONLY what we THINK we understand and NOT the Word of the Father. The implications behind Mind this are surmountable in contrast with God's Word. That said, the simple answer to your question is "nobody" created God because God is the creator. Simplified and personified. Now this differes on a purely human scale because we cannot create something where there was once nothing. All things have a history in regards to our understanding of creation on Earth by Man.
For those curious, the initial ideas surrounding the Big Bang Theory can be traced back to two key figures, The more widely known Edwin Hubble, and primarily the unknown Georges Lemaître, who also happens to have been not just a Catholic Priest, but a physicist, mathemetician and astronomer, and he developed the groundwork for Hubble's law 2 years before Hubble himself. People often forget some of the greatest scientific minds in history were also deeply religious.
@@rebeca3284 not necessarily the main issue in contention is sourcing where it came from - both God and a big bang can coexist. The big bang cannot coexist without God because it would be irrational.
@@nobodyknowsforsure Fair point. For my own personal sake, if I were to believe in both God & the big bang simultaneously, then that would render credit to a harmonious Earth out of chaos, which the big bang theorizes. Don't see how chaos can create such beautiful harmony, like the day and the night, always constant. Just like a developing baby, how it forms from a tiny cell into an intellectual being, always the same biological anatomy, never into endless, different, chaotic possibilities. If I render credit to the big bang, then I would have to accept the notion of evolution, from monkey to human... that one for me personally is a big stretch to believe in. A bird is still a bird, if might be bigger, different color, but at the end it's still it's own species.
Those men didn’t live in a time where you could admit you weren’t religious. You absolutely couldn’t change your mind and leave a religious order and lead a highly visible life. Besides, people actually joined religious institutions because it was a way to get educated.
@@thezu9250 completely untrue. Atheism had (very stupidly) been destigmatised post-Enlightenment which happens to be the same period Georges Lemaitre formed his ideas. Y'all keep trying to divorce religion from truth and fail.
My respect for you sky rocketed to 100000%. I am an atheist and I hope there is something more after death but I cannot be sure if it'll happen. And I'm okay to say "I don't know what happens afterwards." We gotta live our best life and be good to each other, even to Ja Rule 😂
Yeah brother I've been there. For me the gnawing thing that ate at the back of my head is the story of Jesus and the accounts of his death and rising by his 12 apostles as well as 500 or so others he visited. He is the most popular individual to walk. Something seems off with how people look for proof that we all know will never come and as you said hoping for an after life. But if Jesus was what they said in the bible he was, I'm not going to take the chance. There is only one God and religion based in evidence no one can refute.
Seek and ye shall find. Simple, but then again, there are a lot of false preachers out there so i dont blame yah. I believe it hook like and sinker, not blindly, because after reading the Word with understanding, it aligns with my vulcan logic and common sense, i am 100 all in with Jesus. He is the way!
ALSO there is a verse in there that says there are stubborn people out there that God has shown proof too, He sent prophet after prophet, they didnt believe them, they sent His own son and they killed him!!! So which one are you brother? The proof is in our faces Jesus existed, if thats all it takes for you to believe. Hell the WHOLE worlds calendar is based on Before Christ and Ano Domini, in the year of our Lord, not after death. What other proof do you need? Is European/Western History not good enough for you?? There is PROOF everywhere, but without FAITH. you wont see it brother, unfortunately. NOt my rules, the Word says that. So either you got it, or you dont. To get it, you must seek it.
@@BNG1Fdarest funny enough the best way to become an atheist is to actually read the Bible front to back. When you read this book with the same skepticism you approach with other religions it’s pretty revealing. Not to mention the God of the Bible is a jealous homicidal maniac who didn’t even have the decency to denounce slavery. In fact I’m the bible he tells the slaves to “serve their master, even the cruel ones”.
@@rolltide419 the reason people become slaves is because they owe a debt. And slavery then is not the same as slavery in modern times. Also, if you read the Bible expecting to basically shun it immediately afterwards, then you’re going to cherry-pick passages and try to have it back your position. The Bible is actually incredibly consistent and there is a reoccurring message of hope, redemption and salvation. But of course all of that flies over people who walk in expecting to automatically discount it
Obviously a super interesting debate we’ve been having forever. No way to prove God does or doesn’t exist. You can prove one of the two is more likely, but that is it. No way to 100 percent prove one or the other
Logic and history with science proves there was no God. The religious people change the rules every time we find life way beyond 'Adam and Eve'. So yea, no God.
NO! Why don't people get it. Its not about 'no way to prove he does or he doesn't' wrong, wrong, wrong! If you say you have a unicorn on top of your house its not on me to come over with a camera and try and prove it - its on YOU to prove it, the person saying there's something. You can't prove a negative. Not being able to prove something or disprove it in NO way proves that there's something - at bare minimum it implies the opposite.
@@30noir why is it on me to prove it? It could be my belief. We are not talking about a unicorn. A unicorn on my rooftop in theory is something physical that exists. If i wanted to, I could point to it and if you’re not blind you could see it. God by definition is not physical. That’s why you cant prove or disprove their existence. Now if I said, “I saw a giant blue bearded figure who came to me in the desert and told me he was the lord. Everyone should follow these statutes!” The burden of proof would be on me to prove that figure exists
?? The one who gave the World the gift of free will. Shut up. Sounds like ur referring to the god of THIS world. Not of all creations. Not the most high.
@@c3m3t4ry81unts. I believe the quote is more about each situation presented to you. Making your own choice with in different situations. Examples is drugs, stealing and who you sleep with. Its our choices with two dif outcomes with dif consequences.
And you can't prove that God doesn't exist so it's always been a useless debate. I don't really give a shit what anyone else believes or not. I personally think there is a higher being and that thought 1.) gives me a sense of security of something existing outside of this life we have and 2.) it also makes me reevaluate myself whenever I might think of doing something that would be considered sinful. I don't need the existence of God to be a moral person but I prefer to live my life as if God exists because I think that makes me a better person.
@@isaacjacobs3785 once again, I don't care what you believe, I just know what I believe. Do whatever you want to do. It's amazing to me that today atheists are more of an evangelist than Christians and I cants stand either of you.
@@navtektv Guess what. I don't care what you believe. Im proving your statement is fluff. 'You can't prove" when science has done just that time and time again. All variants of any Bible, Earth was created 7000 years ago, then science shows us dinosaurs date back millions of years, civilisations that date back to 12,500 years ago, beyond when the 'Bible' says the earth was created. So yea, its not about who believes who, its facts. You can be narrow minded and scared to believe the truths, that's ok. We can't all be mature grown-ups.
@@navtektv Also Im a qualified Physicist, Bsc for over 8 years now, meaning Im a scientist not an atheist. Your uneducated assumption made that jump. Its poor, you need to do a lot better, never make any assumptions. FACTS
@@isaacjacobs3785 once I gain I do not care what you believe and you blathering on about your qualifications might impress some idiot on the street but I'd doesn't make a diffence to me. Stop evangelising, I'm not telling you what to believe, stop preaching to me.
People always asked for evidence but don’t really care at all about the evidence. There’s evidence that the porn industry help funds the sex trafficking industry but we still see people promoting porn as beneficial to society. People only care about the evidence when it suits their internal desires.
So you give one example about the porn industry and use that to make a sweeping claim about people not caring about evidence at all?? Make that make sense.
Creation proves the creator, if you had no idea what a computer was and found one in the middle of the forest you would be a fool to assume it had evolved naturally over thousands or millions of years, a human is magnitudes more complex than a computer
Let's accept your argument and say God exists and creation proves it. I've got some curiosity questions. If life doesn't exist anywhere else, does that mean God's powers are only good enough to manage one planet? Why is there so much lifelessness in the universe and we're the only speck with life? Did all life on other planets kill itself somehow? If life existed on another planet, would that mean there's a second God in control of that planet, or did God get bored and want another planet? Is the whole universe just for us?
that's a logical fallacy because we all know how a computer is made whether you do or do not know what is a computer is irrelevant because the concept itself requires human intervention, but with the universe no one knows how its made nor does anyone actually understand the concept so any assumptions require proof.
I respect this too, however the law of conservation of mass states that matter is neither created nor destroyed. It just changes form. So technically there was no creation? It simply “was and has been” forever.
Always been a practical guy myself and believe many gods have graced the Earth in the history of mankind , power , wealth and control over the believers proven to be the driving goals behind them all .
I can say this. I did not believe and i prayed in desperate moments. And then certain things happened that made no sense and it felt good and not forced. Now I can't live without God anymore.
Call me crazy but I feel the book The Host is close to our afterlife. As someone who went through a cancer scare I had to really think about this. I personally believe we do have an afterlife that either moves from time to time or galaxy to galaxy. That's just me personally, yes to find some hope whether true or not!!! ❤ I freaking love Ricky and your channel!!!
A good person based on whose morals? Christian morals, right? Your own definition of "good" is filtered by the society in which you exist. Atheists in different cultures, have different ideas of what good and bad are, because cultures aren't all the same.
nobody is talking about how god CANNOT prove its existence to humans. ...let that sink for a moment. Its literally impossible for god to prove its existence
Bro! I loved your perspective on this matter. As a black man, it feels as if we’re even more expected to “believe”…I’m NOT a believer. I’m not convinced.
This is how I came to my conclusion... 40 years agnostic... I've seen so much evil, unexplainable rotten selfish cruel behavior from people in person ... The crazy horrible stuff that is happening across the world, the lies , the deceit, the manipulation. The temptation in my own head that constantly tells me to do things I know will harm me, make me sick , hinder my life .... I think ... All of that .... All the bad ... I think that's the devil... 💯 Evil. I've seen it in people, I've watched it.. now after 40 years of being almost sure it was all bullshit.... Na.. makes to much sense. The devil is real... And if that is true , there has to be a counter .. and that's God. Since I started looking at the world that way, it makes much more sense ... And I'm actually a lot happier and have less anxiety.
Adding my 2¢'s here😅.. If you watch movies, entertainment, ect.. these venues will always reference phrases, or people of the Bible most of the time in a negative way. Which begs the question, WHY? If the Bible and it's teachings were not true, why do these media venues go through all that effort to blasphemy the Bible and it's teachings. The only logical answer is that the Holy Bible is true, and these entertainment venues are actively cementing negativity in our minds and spirit. For example the word Holy, which means goodness, or righteousness, will often be joined with another word that is negative.
Who created the beginning? Humans can't comprehend something without a beginning and an ending so there is a higher powere at work here. Call it whatever you want.
Why would any sort of higher power play favourites and create the universe for a retarded species on a backwater planet in the middle of nowhere that's stupid enough to destroy the only habitable planet they live on out of all the different lifeforms on this planet alone?
@@ryanmccain1158 that's a cop out. Simply just saying "well our minds are just too feeble to comprehend that" doesn't leave room for any knowledge, ability to learn from it or correct it. It is an unfalsifiable claim. It's kinda like saying "magical giant trolls exist" and a person asks "how do you know? I've never seen them", and then you say "well, they are just beyond your comprehension. But trust me, bro, they do exist."
The thing about atheists is that if we do something good like helping others, you know 100% that we are doing it to do good and not to get into "the good place" or out of fear of going to the "bad place"
It’s interesting to think if it’s a being or beings. Like imagine you are a character in a game some 16 year old kid made in his computer class. That is your creator. To you they are all-knowing and lightyears your superior. But in the creators world, the creator is just one of many who can do that.
if you believe a superior being created everything on purpose how are you not religious? like do you mean aliens or super intelligent ai or smth? if so who made them
Show me one scientist who's proven a planet can be created from nothing, gasses and rock. They state the universe is growing yet not one scientist has proven earth was created the way they theorise
@@justintime1307 the same people that aren't religious are the same people that believe everything science says, even thou The scientists don't believe themselves, that's why they keep trying to prove each other wrong
It doesn't remain the same in the sense that it always improves and updates. That's what's so good about it compared to religion. It's not dogma, it's just information, and the more information we gather the more we know.
@@eastsidepicasso Covid 19 was a perfect example of how much science has improved. We got a vaccine in record time. That would have never been possible 100 years ago. And space travel has improved lots, we have more and better space stations, more and better satellites, more and better space rovers. Just because we aren't sending people to the moon anymore (because we have no reason to) doesn't mean we aren't sending people to space in better, improved and more cost efficient ways.

Why is that the only reason why someone doesn't believe in God? Why can't they just think it's a man made hypothesis with no evidence to demonstrate it so they remain unconvinced?
We know nothing. We just "believe" stuff. Stephen cannot prove anything and neither can Ricky. So why is Stephen carrying around a religious chip on his shoulder? I like Stephen, but not when he is in his Catholic Church protection mode. It looks really jerky and is EXTREMELY OFFPUTTING. Stephen! Stop doing that.
I think Ricky was great in this interview. Everyone is free to believe what they want but I see in my own country (Ireland) how much religion has controlled and destroyed many lives in the name of God
Plenty of people have used the name if God to condone their actions... that doesn't mean religion is a bad thing because God doesn't condone what was done... I'm a Christian Canadian with family from residential schools... God doesn't condone what the Catholics did and they will answer when they stand before the pearly gates!!! Evil people using God's name to do evil actions doesn't mean God doesn't exist!!!
Yes, that's fine if that was the only reason, but there are many others along with that. I respect you have faith and do not want to argue or try to convince you otherwise
As an Atheist I'll say this, no religion out there can explain creation. We may have a creator, but the religions out there are man made. Perhaps we should focus our efforts on treating humans with respect and kindness, doing good for ourselves and others, and fighting for peace and stability, and not care who believes in what god. Religion is still a cause of so much death and destruction and suffering in this world. Lets rise above our past explanations for things, and live in this new world with peace for our fellow humans.
Actually, whats responsible for so much death and destruction is competition of ideas. Religion is irrelevant here. And the ideas that killed the most people are the atheistic kind.
Why do creationists always use this argument? The Theory of the Big Bang does not state that there was "nothing" before, as we have no examples of "nothing" to work with. There is always something, even in a complete vacuum. Scientists currently do not know what things looked like before the expansion event of the Big Bang, but they do not claim there was "nothing". Perhaps the universe has always existed, in some form or another. There are people actively trying to figure this out as we speak. As opposed to you who read a single book once, and claim to magically have all the answers. And even if tomorrow we discovered that some being did, in fact, create the universe, that does not mean that it magically defaults to being the god of the bible. It could be anything, from thousands of other potential gods to advanced alien beings or civilisations. Creationists like to believe there are only two options, that if science is wrong then they must be right, but there are so many other possibilities to contend with. And just to flip your argument, "To prove God created an entire universe, we have to use something we see and use everyday to prove it, but since we can't the proof of science is 100%..." See how stupid the argument is?
@voidtempering8700 a gender comes from something but you want to debate for hours on how much there are. Common sense there's 2. That's how we got made of and science is nothing but an illusion. Just like space.

I'm 38 and have only been a Christian for 10 years. I am a lover of science, and for the longest time that kept me from wanting to believe any religion. That being said, I was always agnostic. I believed there was a higher power or higher powers. I do believe that faith in a higher power and the exploration of science can coexist. I won't purport to know everything there is about Christianity nor science. But here is where I stand. My God, who is all powerful, has not revealed everything to us. Science is the understanding of what God likely did to allow existence. I believe that my all powerful God could even make things happen in an instant what science would say should take billions of years. I do believe there are aliens. I do believe there were dinosaurs. I am not a Young Earth Creationist. I believe my God is the same God for all of the universe, but that Jesus' sacrifice could have only been needed on Earth (maybe there are similar experiences on other worlds). So why Christianity? Honestly, it is what lead itself to me. In my darkest hour I had a person close to me offer me to go to church with them. I always believed there were major holes in the Bible, so I went looking for those holes. Through my visiting and counseling and personal searching, I felt changed. Now I understand what faith is. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. Would it still have been worth it? Absolutely. Can I prove God to someone who doesn't want to find God? Nope. Would my proof be something you could touch, see, taste, hear, or smell? Nope. Do I sound like a hut? Probably. Do I care? Nope. God bless, Stevie. Always love your channel.
But white supremacists BELIEVE blacks are inferior.... to whites. It's thier faith in whites, that they are much more superior to blacks..... Yeah faith worth no evidence, only convinces you of what you're already biased to. Don't believe me, you don't have to! Try to convince A Jewish person that Jesus is the messiah. Or try to tell a Muslim that Mohammed didn't speak with Allah. They will be disrespected, and neither of yall have evidence for your faith, other than "trust me, I know what I feel. And you gotta believe me." I know you aren't saying that, but this is the technicality.
I am a Christian and I believe in God and the teachings of the Bible. I understand why people have a hard time believing in it. Having faith hasn't been easy and still isn't for me at times, especially when life kicks you to the ground. But I believe that faith can also keep someone going, as it has for my parents and many other family members in their darkest moments.

I too am an agnostic atheist and have been so since I was 16, to me it means to not believe in a diety but at the same time can't deny that there is a tiny chance that I could be wrong, so simply it's 99% don't believe and 1% maybe I'm wrong, but as we all know the only time you'll have unquestionable undeniable proof is after you're dead, which is a terrible way to try and convince people of something. It's almost impossible to prove a negative, that's why I don't tell people I can prove that god doesn't exist, because 1st I'll have to agree that they do exist to then prove why they don't which makes no sense, I'm not the person who made the claim that they do exist therefore it should be up to the person who made the claim to prove there existence, that's why a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, because it's up to the accuser to prove their claim that the accused is guilty of something, and not the accused to prove their innocence of an unproven accusation.
Ironic that you brought up 'innocent until proven guilty' cos the entire Common Law and Western Morality is founded on Christianity. Even when atheists try to eliminate religion they fail lmao.
The shroud of turin is proof that God exist, the blood found where Jesus was crucified and studied is proof that God exist. At this point it doesn’t matter how many times we explain the evidence people will still won’t believe it. They will only believe in God when they see God with their own eyes.

Ricky's losing if he is arguing against Christianity. His belief that "We just believe in one less god than you" is the philosophical dumbassery. One is saying an absolute exists. The other does not.
When I want to express gratitude for my existence I thank the Earth. The only "God" I have ever experienced and that has ever been proven to me is the one that I live on, the one that provides me with everything I need to exist. Beyond the Earth is entirely open to theory and debate, but there is no debating the existence of the Earth and the reality that it provides everything we need. The existence of the Earth is where our worship should end, until it can be proven that there is a power higher than that. In truth, we should all be living as Pagans and showing humble gratitude to the Earth, without which we would not exist.
Yo Man, I like videos, I really vibe with them. But I mean this with no disrespect but why do most people wanna act ignorant when it comes to religion and God? I mean If a person thinks there isn't an all-powerful being who created Everything, that's acting mad ignorant. Is like we don't do this in all aspects of our lives but when it comes to this issue, we think it's not possible. I wanna paint a scenario, Let's say you walking down the street one day then u see a phone laying on the ground. what makes more sense?, that the phone, and all the materials used to make the phone came together by itself and manufactured itself and places itself down the street Or...someone used engineering and knowledge to make it and probably dropped. Just think about about it that’s all.
It's pretty embarrassing that you are using the Watchmaker analogy as an argument for god (you just used a phone instead of a watch), when that argument has been debunked all the way back since the 1700s. Very ignorant.
Not one person, let's say scientist has shown a planet being created from gasses, from nothing yet they dictate that is how the earth was made. Even with them saying the universe is expanding. All of that side of science is theory, and one man's opinion. Nothing more
@@justintime1307 That's not true at all. You people are so brainwashed and detached from reality. It's sad. Celestial objects have been observed moving away from each other and at a constant increased speed. The universe expanding is 100% fact. It's been proven multiple times.
It's more than opinion. Light gets redshifted when objects are moving away. The redshift of all celestial objects observed by the Hubble Telescope demonstrated a uniform and universal expansion. Planets in their early stage of formation have literally been observed by astronomers and which verify the gravitational pull of stars on the rocks and gases around them causes this matter to join together as it orbits around the star etc. It's not just opinion. Actually look into what's been observed.
It seems to me people from the west typically assume all religions are solely based on believe and subjective experiences, often having only been introduced to Christianity and unaware of other religions. I would advise anyone to take a look into Islam as it has objective proofs for its existence, which are outside of subjective experiences and blind faith.
People from the West are indeed aware of Islam. Ricky is British and lives in North London. There's a lot of Muslims all around the UK and especially in London. He's well aware that no person alive today was alive over a thousand years ago to observe the actual sequence of events that took place meaning everything relies on the hearsay of scripture and their own subjective interpretation of it.
Either something came from nothing or it was created from God who has always existed. The question really is is it more possible that something came from nothing or God has always existed.
Hey Knight, I hope you see this. This specific book COMPLETELY flipped my views and made me start believing in the existence of god. Its Called "Believing Is Seeing: A Physicist Explains How Science Shattered His Atheism and Revealed the Necessity of Faith." By Michael Guillen. I was like you. I wanted proof. If you truly want some CONCRETE PROOF. This book will absolutely do that for you. The author has 3 doctorates at Harvard and Yale. So he's very well informed. I would put him up against ANY debater. Look into the book or watch some videos on him. I don't really even like reading and I couldn't put this book down. My jaw was dropped the entire time reading it.
No lie, I gave my life to the lord on Christmas 2022, and I was baptized Easter 2023. I've never experienced anything like the feeling of the holy spirit in my body, God has brought me what I've always asked for, something I never could have achieved when I was a non believer, and that's peace
For me being an agnostic. I just stop at I don’t know. Imagine at some point there were two people talking about this subject. One of them says I don’t know and keeps walking the other one sits down and creates a story to fill the gap of I don’t know. But in the end, neither one of us know, one of us just has a story. And when the other one doesn’t believe in the story, it makes the story seem that much more ridiculous. Similar to vaccines and masks.
I hover on the edge of belief in God. It started off with the understanding that the universe cant have just poofed into existence. After studying parts of the bible I came to understand that the book has a multi-generational wisdom that would be exceptionally difficult for humans to compile into a book (especially considering that the only literate people at the onset of Christianity did their best to quash it). And another thing is that those who live by the teachings of the bible live healthier more fulfilling lives. Stevie you actually live more by the bible than you know.
@@ambermshana9863 why is it that islamic states still seek to eradicate heretics. Christianity went through that with them during the crusades but they stopped after the church started losing influence. What fuels the hatred needed to condemn an entire people? I understand that there are extemists everywhere but islam is the only abrahamic religion that supposedly inspires terrorism.
@@nobodyknowsforsure Smartest people on the planet that holds a big chunck of noble awards were religious , but hey " it just happened for building that system and for nothing " truly makes more sense right
I once read a statement involving this particular topic: If I'm wrong about God, then I wasted my life. If you're wrong about God, then you wasted your eternity. - Lecrae. I love the videos man, thank so much for the reactions and your unapologetic real view on things. Keep it up!
@@30noir you don't have morals w/o God, Christopher Hitchens vs Douglas Wilson "Is Christianity Good For the World" and Hitchens never answers Douglas. Even Dawkins admits there are no atheistic foundations for morality. Stop the idiocy please.
@@l.ronhubbard5445 Apologies, but I believe there already is a book with all of this information readily available. Please see any copy of the Holy Bible for your answer. You should find a great deal of information in regards to your query there.
The difference in foundation is important because recharging is important. Its a sense of redirection especially when you feel lost. Plus you dont see air but air exists. And its something you need
Who said that you need to see it? You can measure air in all sorts of ways other than sight. And why would you care what foundation people use to recharge and redirect themselves in life? Some people might use a belief in a god to redirect them and others might use another type of goal or a sense of purpose to redirect themselves and it might work even better than a god. Why would you want to ruin that?
I spent 4yrs falling from the faith and in the atheist position and I learned it's the most illogical position a person can have. They always want to say "Occam's Razor, Occam's Razor" however, they themselves reject the most simplest explanation as well as logical conclusions based on observation. We observe life coming from life and intelligence coming from intelligence on a daily basis. So, applying Occam's Razor as well as logic one should be concluding that intelligent life came from intelligent life. So, to claim that no one can know, when evidence points to the contrary and shows there is a God is a rejection of the evidence that reveals this existence is by intelligent design. You also have no OBJECTIVE morality without a law giver. You can't use man as a law giver because man can have difference in opinion regarding morality which would make it subjective. Either child abuse is OBJECTIVELY wrong or it's only subjectively wrong (wrong for some people, but, perfectly okay and not immoral for others). There's tons of arguments and logical reasoning that PROVES God exists. "I'm never going to use emotion". Valid reasoning requires a balance between emotion and logic. We are humans with emotions, including empathy, if you remove emotion from reasoning then people can form a valid argument that the genocide of mentally ill people is more beneficial for humanity if you base your reasoning strictly on "logic" void of emotion. (I've literally argued with atheists about this very issue when I was an atheist). I would say valid reasoning includes both logic and emotion. A balance between the two.
I don't believe you were ever an atheist. You can't go back from that kind of understanding. It would be like an adult deciding that the tooth fairy and easter bunny really do exist after all when he reached 40 years of age.
@@30noir Yea it's so satisfying to think it's all pointless/meaningless and that you're the brave one staring death in the face w/ some steely eyed gaze, ready to meet your end w/ dignity.... Please... What a dumbass world view atheism is, can't stand it. All we ever got out of it was eugenics, which did a whole lot of good for society I'm sure... I think if you believe you're the product of random chance and every idea that comes out of your mouth has no more objective significance than the sound of wind moving through trees you should just stop talking. Be the random chemical reactions/electrical activity between synapses in the brain you think you are, do all the random pointless/meaningless things you're inclined to do till you pass on and stop spreading your mental disease.
Your simple explanation isn't actually that simple because now you need to explain why intelligent life comes from intelligent life until you get to God where you now have the impossible task of explaining something so complex it's unexplainable. How can God always have exisedt?
Some people confuse atheism as an assertion that God doesn't exist. Theists and atheists are in the same boat. Nobody knows for certain, one believes and one doesn't.
I 100 percent believe in God. I also believe science does not disprove god. Instead it explains some of the ways in which he works. I also see the beauty and wonder in the world and that only furthers my belief. At the same time I'm okay with other people not believing in him. I believe God will forgive them and accept them as they are as long as they were good people in life. I believe even an atheist can get into heaven.
Question to anyone in the comments that do not believe there is a God. Q: Does dark matter exist? If it does, prove it. Now apply all that science has used to prove the existence of dark matter to this debate.
A big misconception is that you choose to believe anything. You believe the most likely thing to be true from your perspective. Real faith in God is a gift, and even those who claim to have it may not have it truly.
I mean this was the Stevie fight. This guy was absolutely dogshit. And the other guy was like chase still shit but didn't have competition to begin with. How about he actually takes on someone who probably knows a verse.
I'm an atheist and not one person has conviced me that God exist outside from a scripture from the Bible. Using the "look around you" excuse as a way of proving something exist is a fallacy. If God does exist, I think he has a lot of explaining to do for allowing so much evil and crudeness in this world.
@@miahhunter4010 It's not that simple at all cause if it was I would believe lol God is just as evil as the devil for allowing evil to run free. God & Satan are one of the same cause without the devil he would have no purpose of existing and you wouldn't worship him. When you worship God you basically are worshiping the devil.
@@MrTambourineMan. I'm a full blown atheist, I do not believe in a creator or an adversary at all. I believe good and evil comes from humans itself and when we die we will go in the dirt and lights out completely. And afterlife makes no sense to me.
@@blackmetalhead5883 well that’s exactly why you’re an atheist lol. To lump God and the devil as one is completely blasphemous. God gave us free will to worship him because he died for our sins not because the devil exists. Just like people choose to solely worship the devil. I just think if you automatically associate God with the negative nobody is gonna “convince”you. It honestly is simple you just have to have an open mind and stop shutting everything down.
The argument of "you don't believe in _n_ amount of gods", I just don't believe in one more" is a strawman fallacy. Christians like Stephen Colbert believe there can only be one God. So they are not atheists regarding the other gods, they just don't believe they are divine. To make this argument even stupider, they don't even necessarily don't believe that these gods don't exist. The apostle Paul, among other important men in Christianity said that these gods actually exist, but they are demons or were powerful heroes of the past who accomplished great feats and started to be worshipped as gods.
Their has to be a "something" out there because, think about it. How is it possible that a baby is closed in a sack of liquid inside their mothers stomach not being able to breath for 9 long months, but once its born if a splash of water covers its face or your hand is over their face too long then they're gasping for air? 🤔 All i'm saying is, If anything block our nose or mouth from breathing for a minimum of 5 min, Then we are going nuts But we've been enclosed inside a belly for 9 months not being able to breath on our own. Its a miracle right. ✨️ idk its something to concider. 🤷♀️ Love your channel ❤️ 👍🏼
In the womb the baby's blood is oxygenated via the placenta and the umbilical cord. It doesn't matter if the baby has amniotic fluid in its lungs, because it's not technically breathing yet. Just google how to babies breath. It's not a mystery or miracle, all mammals do it before being born.
@@sergiopita5117 I understand what you're saying and I knew that someone would bring that up. But when you think of life in itself and the creation of life and its process. It's so incredibly unfathomable. I know the umbilical cord helps the baby breath, but even that initself is incredible. A person carrying another being inside them with a separate heartbeat of there own. It's mind blowing. There has to be a higher something. They keep calling it super natural? Which means even the mind can't conceive and truly understand it, so everyone is coming up with their theory of how life began or whether theres a God or not, or how we all were created and they still can't figure it out religiously and scientifically. I'm setting here breathing, it's a miracle. Thanks for your reply 😊💕
@@sergiopita5117 yes because God is not the author of confusion...so they had to b an umblicord which makes sense for the passage of oxygen and food🤷🏿♂️ truth is God only allows us to know what he wants to know but for other things U will never figure it out
I really respect you for sharing where you stand. So a couple points: 1) When you are talking about God you can not use logic or reason. This bothers a lot of people. 2) Faith is exactly that believing without seeing, so there will never be any real hard science. The only time we will see proof will be when the antichrist comes because he will preform false miracles, signs, and wonders. All I can do is show you love man and you have to come to the conclusion of what you believe. Bless you and your wonderful family and have a good week Stevie.
As a logical person I don't get how it's hard for people to grasp. By the laws of logic you are boxed in - there is no logic of nothing just spontaneously creating, that is BS. To logically solve that problem it makes perfect sense that a being that is not bound by those logical limitations could exist (God). I'm not even saying which religion is 'right', I don't know but to logically solve the universe existing and the creation point issue a no limit God fulfills this.
@@nobodyknowsforsure that's tough! And to add on the God of the bible literally says your thoughts are not my thoughts.... meaning we are not on God's level to understand certain things,our logical reasoning is rendered useless and like the other guy said when U r talking about it's about faith
Everything you said is pretty much exactly how I think about these things. I’ve had crazy hyped up zealot coworkers try to convince me of things but I just tell them I don’t care what they think. He used get big mad. He got fired for yelling at chef 🤣 I was born Christian.. I would hear him out for a little bit, but he was a conspiracy theorist tell. Dude told me the moon is a battery. I said can I charge my phone with it?
I'm not a Christian because I was raised that way, which I was. I'm a Christian because I was at a place in my life where my faith just wasn't reasonable. Until I decided to learn more, I researched both sides, science and Judeo-Christian beliefs and other religions. BUT! That was my path, my fight, my life-changing moment. Everyone has to come to God in their own way. Not religion, just relationship!
Overall I really liked this video, the only unfortunate thing is that everytime we talked about how science is consistent and stays the same I think of all the "science" that has been done in the past few years, from the 105 new genders to the control that the government was trying to gain through Covid denying things like natural immunity Unfortunately the "sciences" in the last 5-10 years has become its own religion within many organizations, even if science itself has remained the same. I wish I did not have to become so jaded but this is the world we are living in You did a great job in this video though outlining your thoughts, I am a Christian and believe there is no science disproving or proving the existence of God. I respect that you have at least thought out your ideals.
LOL science didn't make new genders. Science says there are 2 sexes. The people saying there's lots of genders have literally nothing to do with science. Science is about objective reality, that is really what it is the study of. Educate yourself.
It is good to have this conversion, it help the mind think a little. Im in my feelings on this 1, i dont know why. Im from 3rd world country and growing up in the bibical world is all i know. I think the more tge world goes on the more its disconnect. More stuff feed to our brain is the more we numb.
"Why is irrelevant." true. However, design, which is clearly seen in the universe, implies a designer. We could stand in a building. The why is irrelevant, yet the how it is built would show the order and intricate design needed to create the building. The building implies a builder, even if you cannot prove the existence of the builder. This conclusion should bring you to theism, or at least deism. You cannot say the builder doesn't exist just because you cannot personally see them. Reality does not allow that option.
Claiming the universe is designed is just a bald assertion. You don’t get to call it a design until you actually demonstrate that claim. We know a building is designed because every single piece of evidence we have of buildings, is that they were built and designed by people. And we have zero evidence of buildings occurring naturally. Things like people, planets, galaxies etc are things that occur naturally. We have zero evidence of those things being built and designed by a “creator”. You’re just making the watchmaker argument, which has been debunked over and over again. But if you have evidence of a creator designing a universe, I would love to hear it.
You fail to understand the concept of “burden or proof.” The burden of proof isn’t on the atheist, because the atheist is not the one making the claim. That would be equivalent to saying, “well you can’t prove that there aren’t invisible ice cream factories on Mars, therefore there are.”
@@csmkorn1 The burdern of proof is on BOTH. BOTH parties have made a claim by default. Both have chosen a different polarity. One claims a negative, the other claims a positive. The negative can NEVER be proved by the very evidence of how the world has worked since we woke up. Nothing has NEVER turned into something. And inorganic matter has NEVER turned into organic matter or life. WE ALL experience this truth. EVERYTHING around us that shows intelligent design can only come from input of an intelligent creator. By that same logic, the universe and it's intricacies, and life, and the laws that govern the world could not come from ''nothing''. The system is too intricate and comes down to millions of decimal places, for all variable to allign to allow life on our planet.
@@csmkorn1 so someone has a book about ice cream on Mars and its being called into question whether thats true or not... Try again. If your gonna try to justify someone belief based on opinions and hypothesis. And then com out the air with some way of comparing that makes no since. So if science can explain the great flood that the Bible depicted in the the first testament is true. Because they found sea shell fossils on top of mt everest the technically the tallest point on the the planet 7 and some change miles ABOVE sea level. You jus proved that atheist relies on person opinions of others. Like the Bible and its text out dates any idea of God doesn't exist started lol. Like I can read and I like to do my own research I don't quote people and I can clearly see I have more life experience then you. So far nobody can answer the question I'm gonna ask. Can you prove doesn't exist. And YOU 👉🏽 can't lol Try again lol this is hilarious 🤣
