John Lennox what a humble man. Smart man, eloquent. How can atheist believe that the Universe popped out of nowhere and from nothing. The evidence and complexity of this Universe points to a creator. I was looking around me yesterday and said why is everything fitting together so well, food, male and female, love, consciousness. I came to the concconclusion that people don’t want a God to be, and that’s because they know they would have to change their bad habits and they love them. It’s a heart problem not a mind one. ✝️

Amen brother in Christ, Psalm 139:13-14 13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. No one is here by mistake, our LORD took his time with each and every one of us and he loves us all... So we shall honor and glorify him for his infinite love... SHALOM ONE BODY IN MESSIAH

Not everyone who makes a simple assertion is right, even if your mind tells you so. I think, on critical reflection, I have to say that Lennox assumes that his God exists and builds everything else around that prejudice. But he acts as if he can justify his God through his logical thinking. If you don't share his prejudices, his arguments seem absurd. But hardcore believers share his prejudices and therefore applaud him because he comforts them. But I think critical thinking is important. Most of the comments express only unqualified praise and gratitude. There are virtually no critical comments among believers.
@ronaldlindeman6136
@ronaldlindeman6136 4 месяца назад
@@karlschmied6218 You make good points, but it not just critical thinking that is needed, but knowledge of history and the history of Philosophy. The 3 major events to bring about more Science study is the printing press, so more people could communicate with more people, and examination of the thinking of the ancient Greeks. The third was the examination of the planets and sun and figuring out that the Earth was not the center of the solar system and not the center of the Universe. That evidence and experience mattered more than revelation from the Christian Bible. My take on Jesus of Christianity is that he is not a Nature's God, but a Supernatural Superhero. Superman, Spiderman, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, etc. are all Supernatural Superheroes, or Supervillains. Jesus does not tell us humans anything about Nature. Jesus has as much knowledge of Nature as someone living in the ancient world. That is why there should not be debates with Christians about whether there is a Nature's God or not, Jesus does not deserve the promotion from Supernatural Superhero to Nature's God. So a Christian showing that there has to be a Nature's God to create everything, does not advance whether Jesus is a God.

what a stupid answer. the reason the question is asked "who created god" is to get religions people to understand that there claim is stupid. and not a believe in a created god. the man have been in the religious thought patterns to long. you can put that claim on anything. how did the universe start? it didn't it was always here. so it's just a stupid answer from a man who learn it from some other person and so on. where do i measure god like a i can with energy? another stupid example. same with conscience. its can also be measured, but i can't measure god. 7:55 so in the light of the facts, the answer is. WE DON'T KNOW. so stop the speculation. we are not forced to do anything. and the question still stands who created god? you just can't answer it because you have to dismiss your faith.

@@gweilospur5877The alternative is to posit that there was a universe filled with an impenetrable, thick mix of gases that combusted and coalesced to create stars and so on. But it then posits that the universe was already there, which is demonstrably false, as the universe is expanding, we can observe this. That means there was an origin point because things are expanding out from the center of this "big bang" like a large explosion. In order to contain all this you need...the universe, which couldn't have popped into being simultaneously to house all this hot gas and stars etc etc. There had to be something timeless, formless, and spaceless with which to cause a universe to contain all we observe.

That fact alone would make us a completely different animal family than the chimps.

I asked him repeated questions about the trinity and he eventually told me, "Some things you just have to take on faith". I believe in God. I conduct my life adhering to his holy principals.

@jeremyadrian233 5 месяцев назад
In the "prior to the big bang" is simply unknowable, presumably even if we could catch that first spark of light at the very edge of the physical universe. What we do know is that there was super compressed "information" that got released and overtook and destroyed everything that occurred before. So there obviously was something that became everything, but any remnants/evidence was reorganized in the big bang. We can't even assume it was all in a pinhead, that simply models back to an assumption because we do not know how space or time was initially laid out. Just to point out the known universe is only as far as the speed of light out to galaxies and the speed of light back to Earth, anything that is expanding faster than the speed of light from the Earth will not ever be seen as the light will never hit the earth, so we will never see the earliest fragments of the big bang, let alone what is between the knowable universe and the physical universe boundary, or beyond, if there even is a boundary.

"why do you believe in these things if you don't understand what they are" - Because we can demonstrate their existence. This cannot be done with your god.

Then Lennox says that God is the only explanation that makes sense to him which is an argument from ignorance and argument from incredulity combined. So many logical fallacies.

In this question you are treating God as a contingent being, as an other link in the chain, but He is not. As I think it is that the mere existence of anything shows that there is a Creator, you can't bring about anything out of nothing, therefore there must be a Being that simply is, and as it is, in an always present sense, it's no use asking the before of being, it is necessary. If you say, can't we do that with the universe? I don't think so because of contingency, it's like saying that the summ of things that don't explain by themselves are the uncreated cause if you go far and beyond their past. Finally there is the Greek myth about Chronos, the one who eats his wife's children, longstory short, Zeus avoided Chronos and defeated him, claiming his immortality. There is a bit of fantasy in there, but it's like Chronos is the barrier, the unavoidable pass of time in contingent beings that makes you ask the question in a temporal manner, but if Being is beyond Chronos, then you don't need to answer what was before, because the Being does not abide by the rules of time. Be patient and be happy! I hope I could help in something

Good for John Lennox for confronting the question head on. As he says, "Replacing one mystery by another is not always a helpful way forward." Unfortunately, that's exactly what he does. He says, God is uncreated. How is that possible? Well, it's a mystery. Okay, fine. No reason that God has to be created anymore than there's a reason that the Universe has to be created. The origin (or non-origin, if you will) of both things is a mystery. But he's not clarified or proven anything. As he points out--it's a mistake to assume that everything that exists must have been created. Fair point. But it applies to the Universe just as easily as it applies to God. In fact, he's the one who is begging the question, not Dawkins.

Interesting you use the word "trust" like that, when it is ATHEISTS who put blind faith in the idea that a nonprogrammed, unguided accident can be "trusted" to give them "truth." atheism is silly, toddler-tantrumish nonsense. Noone gets so angry as you are about whether or not someone believes in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, even though you atheists want to equate those silly things with the True and Living I AM.

The "who created god" question generally comes as a response to theist arguments. It's usually a response to theists talking about how a god is required for complexity, rationality, functioning processes etc. Christians then just resort to the fallacy of special pleading and assert that their god is the exclusion. No support is provided for this. Asking Dawkins about whether he has the answer to the creation of the universe and then grandstanding is just setting up a god of the gaps argument with theatrics.

Energy can be measured, its effects can be directly seen and it is generally defined as the ability to do work, and work is precisely defined in Physics. Any god, on the other hand, cannot be measured or observed and its effects are merely asserted without evidence. There is nothing remotely clever about Lennox’s answer and if Dawkins had been present he would have easily ridiculed that answer.
