Isaac Newton: Laws of motion from the law of God | Stephen Meyer on the Scientific Revolution 

If you found Dr Tour inspiring, you would appreciate Mauro Biglino, ex Vatican translator, who has short videos here on YT with an ex Australian minister. They discuss the Old Testament ...... fascinating and thought provoking stuff. Enjoy.

LOL blessings to Ghana??? Christian/Catholic colonialists come to your country in the middle of the biggest HIV crisis ever, and tell you using condoms is a sin. Blessings? They have blood on their hands!

I just saw a documentary about the beach in Ghana teeming with discarded clothing from all over the world…Literally a mountain of fabric.

@@65gtotrips Is the video and conversation has anything to do with your comment?

The Holy Church was not an institution, some country club for the socially elite that some aspects of The Church had disintegrated into. And in our ignorance of this truth we were going to painfully rediscover the scorched-earth theology that flourished under Emperor Nero. And sure enough, if you translate the Hebrew spelling of 666, you actually spell out Neron Kesar - the Hebrew spelling of Nero Caesar. In his book Apocalypses: Prophecies, Cults, and Millennial Beliefs through the Ages (2000), historian Eugene Webber chronicled apocalyptic visions and prophecies from Zarathustra up to the modern day. And it was very interesting to note how the literature had influenced society over the millennia. More specifically, it was fascinating how certain psychological patterns had repeated themselves. During times of social change the literature would become more pronounced, either reinforcing or denouncing the change. He stressed how the End of an Age may not necessarily indicate the End of the World. More importantly, Webber noted how some of exceptional intelligence worked alongside others in their devotion to the prophetic discipline. In his posthumously-published Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John (1733), Isaac Newton expressed his belief that Bible prophecy would not be understood "until the time of the end", and that even then "none of the wicked shall understand". Yes, this is the same Isaac Newton who published Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy (1687). And maybe he has a point. This doesn’t mean his theology was perfect. Many Christians would consider him a heretic in his general rejection of the divinity of Christ. But it does indicate an interest where one wouldn’t expect to find one. And it also indicates that one shouldn’t just assume that because someone studies the topic means they are uneducated. It’s always been the kindness of the simple-minded that has changed the world for the better. Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. -- J.R.R. Tolkien

Me neither. Whenever I need a good laugh from two of the dumbest most-punchable looking faces on RU-vid, they never fail to deliver!

You ignore the fact, not all of us can pretend prophesy & God exist. That is why Jesus Christ says, "Think not I come with peace, but sword". It is amusing to hear the profound arrogance of someone knowing of God, as if He were known outside of fiction. The believer & the literate are separated by the vocabulary of fiction: Blasphemy, God, faith, prayer, prophet, scripture etc. Matthew 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” I like asking believers how they can possibly think their faith is respectable, given Jesus said faith is worthless, since you can't expect obedience when ordering mountains to move? Freud wrote, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy". "Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall". What is The Catholic faith? Organized crime, indoctrinating children with a fantasyland vocabulary? When men are free of religious notions they write, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy." "My sheep hear My voice" is the mindset of slavery. Once free of it, there are no suggestions we all travel better by having one foot in a stranger's fantasyland or Garden of Eden. A mind free of religious text is not tortured by pretending Divinity made Mormons so Christians would know how Jews feel, having pasted their books on to them both. Those looking for the sign of a resurrection, are a vile, "Wicked Generation" seeking signs, led by "wolves in sheep's clothing". "The only sign is that of Jonah"; a believer murdered by other believers. Chained to the slavery of faith, they write: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13 One must be insanely arrogant to suggest knowing something of a God. It is by boldness, Moses became the world's worst navigator, by having one foot in some fantasyland. There is a fine line between fishing & standing on the shore, looking like an idiot. Fail to get the Jews to buy it for 2000 years & they should know who their Messiah is. Jesus is a fake, to immortalize the war against the Jews. Jesus Christ is crucified for all time in literature & the subjects of Rome are illiterate. Freud wrote, "The antidote to Christianity is literacy" & the joke is in the scriptures. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" Galatians 3:13 An improvement on your God & faith; would outlaw indoctrination & abuse of the vocabulary of fiction on children.

​@@StupidityindexLol.... So you cut and paste this diatribe underneath every other comment.... not sure what you are trying to say.... Not sure if you understand it either. Would love to hear original thoughts if you have some.

And how, exactly, did Tour and Meyer, let alone that old fraud Behe, manage to overthrow all of science?

Michael Behe has been debunked 12 ways from Sunday. He got DESTROYED in Kitsmiller vs. Dover. He's a liar and a fraud. Irreducible Complexity has been thoroughly falsified as a valid theory, quite easily I may ad.

And their association in the christian propaganda cesspool called Discovery Institute did not make you blush? How creepy!

The ID crowd is a small band of special r3t@rds

Me too! I read that books and it confirmed my faith in a Creator. Then someone pointed out he was "debunked". That is the refute of the blind.

Thank you for sharing the scripture :-)

@@Holstson Thank you and thank God.

His best writings were on religion, he cracked the code on the Book of Revelation- his book is “The Prophecies of Daniel & the Apocalypse” (because the book is written in code & marries up with Daniel).

He wrote more about Alchemy!

​@@Infowarrior08 Religion/Theology actually

​@@masada2828Newton was an Arian

@@therealkingbaldwin prove it

Just be sure to point out that in astronomy, one needs objective evidence in the form of real observations for hypotheses; in religion, one doesn't. I hope your son does well in science.

I believe that Tom Hollands work may be a worth while contribution to your goal.

​@@Sparrow-hawk-666, What religion?

@@utopiabuster Yours.

@@Sparrow-hawk-666, Which one is that, mind reader. My beliefs are based on facts, observations, experience, and reason. What are your beliefs based on? Can you define "objective evidence"? What's "real observations"? Hypothesis - supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. Philosophy(hypothesis) - proposition made as a basis for reasoning, without any assumption of its truth. Thanks for playing.

As good a cure for insomnia as any, I suppose.

It's preaching quite literally to the choir. He couldn't give a scientific lecture if his life depended on it.

​@@Reclaimer77 He's smarter than you, so what does that make you? Shelf stocker?😂😂😂

indeed he is great

@@HS-zk5nn A great lump of nothing is more like it.

Excellent comment.

Christians tell us that he can't be put in a test tube.

.....like..really??? This is all it takes to convince you a GOD that sees kids die by the millions gave a damn about your freaking VW bug starting??? How about this: The VW bug's carburetor was flooded (a ubiquitous problem with those) and when your idiot friend finally stopped trying to start it and stopped to pray, the fuel siphoned out of it so the normal starting process would work. Isn't that obviously the FAR more likely explanation?

And yet during the entire time you were trying to start the car, not one vagrant attempted to cause you harm. THIS was your big story of faith? Jesus validating your xenophobia?

Things like this do happen............ Something similar happened to my little sister.

@@violinhunter2 What's more likely: 1. While millions of babies were dying and such, god took a time-out to personally answer a prayer so a 1960 VW bug could start? Or: 2. The carburetor was flooded and when this moron finally stopped trying to start it and began to pray, that gave it the time it needed to get un-flooded so it could start? If you don't say #2 and instead invoke miracles, you were dropped on your head.

@@violinhunter2 The carburetor was flooded! Like omg you people LOL. It was NOT a miracle. 🤣🤣🤡

These two are your heroes? You choose not to aim higher?

indeed a great scientist and philosopher/historian

​@@Bomtombadi1, Any suggestions?

Sorry, but Stephen Meyer is just another creationist, a young earth one at that. The science is solidly against him and Wee Jimmy.

He’s a moron

How? And what point?

You just think that because he says stuff you like to hear.

Trouble is, all these gods, including Lennox's, are pure make-believe. It's just god of the gaps arguing, and a waste of everyone's time. No theologian ever had any evidence for the god they believed in, all they ever had was faith. And no two could ever agree!

Speaking as an ex-Catholic, I realised that religion and science are totally incompatible. Nothing was ever discovered using religion, and the technology you use to promote your religion was achieved through science, not religion.

That said, Newton's theology is a bit arcane. He is famous for his humility re his science merely being God letting him throw a pebble or two ,and in standing on the shoulders of giants. His originality, genius and achievements are as Godly as it gets. He sought Truth for us all,and for eternity. A flawed human alright, but those who'd accuse him of heresy are in far more mortal peril than he is.

Science isn't merely descriptive, it's also prescriptive. By uncovering the laws of nature, we can predict events before they happen. We know that stepping off a cliff will result in a fall. Religion doesn't teach us anything as practical.

I'd add that not understanding the underlying cause of nature is not an excuse to invent one. Perhaps nature is its own cause. And if you think nature had to have an external cause, then I'd ask, what caused that cause? Currently, the correct answer is "we don't know." Pretending we do doesn't help.

@@Sparrow-hawk-666 why don't you tell me where the matter and energy in the Big Bang came from? "perhaps" does not cut it in science. Endless foolish speculations. What we know from the law of entropy and other laws of physics is that the universe did not create itself because that violates the laws we know that are super well proven. so there is something supernatural outside of time and space, something without without cause because it's eternal and not subject to the laws we observe. The known laws of physics say it's impossible for the universe to create itself, to believe it did is to not be a rational logical scientist

@Sparrow-hawk-666 When people say "we don't know" what they often really mean is "let's not think about it."

@@chrisrogers3436 Lots of scientists investigating the origins of the universe, and life as well, are atheists. Others are various religious believers, just not fundies. Believe me, we're very interested in finding out true answers, rather than believing the contradictory tall tales found in every scripture. Poor response from you, obviously you didn't want to think about it much.

And His Spirit and Light still live in His own Holy Bible - because there is only one God - the very Father who created us - whom we betrayed - but who loved us so much that He sent His Son to come among us - that we find Him back - ONLY through the path of Christ - precisely as is written in the Living Light.

*_Perhaps faith, while spiritual, also has mass, momentum, and other physical properties..._* - Ummmm... how much does faith weigh? In grams or ounces?

@@Sparrow-hawk-666 maybe a sheckle or talent

@@Michael-im1vc Not legal currency here in the UK!

@@Sparrow-hawk-666 they're also measures of weight 😉

@@Michael-im1vc I learned something new today!

At his age, he has to play to his remaining strengths!

I am sure there are unitarians beyond JWs, who are the most famous group to hold that view. I saw debates between Trinitarians and unitarians who were not JWs

Unitarians do not hold a proper view of Christ Jesus and the glorious role he has had for billions of years. I understanding is that they believe in a form of adoptionism And they don’t believe Christ had a prehuman existence. Newton believed Christ had a prehuman existence as the logos.

That's not really true though. Arianism says Jesus is of different "substance" (oiusa). Newton stays away from that word completely. He's just not into the Arianism Trinitarian debate. He's of a different category on his own. 2. Newton says Jesus is worthy of worship while Arianism denies Jesus being worshipped.

@@emmanuel8310 please let me know in which of his works that he says that Jesus should be worshiped. If he’s discussing The greek proskyneō (reverence, obeisance, etc.) That falls in line with what I understand that he believes along with Arianism and what Jehovah’s Witnesses believe. Isaac Newton believed that God the Father, Jehovah, was the sole Pantokrator (Παντοκράτωρ), meaning the Creator of all things. He saw the Father as the ultimate force behind the universe’s design and order. The fact that Isaac Newton doesn’t delve into the 4th century rebranded Ousia (essence) as you mentioned is clear indication that he didn’t hold it to be scriptural. For someone as prolific as himself writing so much about the Bible why would he avoid it. If he believed in shared essence, we would have a lot of writings from him on it.

@@DartNoobo Unitarians reject the Trinity as Isaac Newton and Arius did, but Unitarians believe in adoptionism where they do not believe Christ had a prehuman existence. Arius, Isaac Newton, and Jehovah’s Witnesses believe Christ Jesus had a glorious prehuman existence. That’s why I mentioned above a proper view of both Almighty God the Father and his son.

You have to elaborate. What did Newton specifically do that was heresy?

Well, creationists like Tour and Meyer have an aversion to reality. What can you do?

This comment didn't age well. Next time, stay awake. Maybe you'll learn something.

@@chrisrogers3436 Two ignoramuses discussing science that they don't read or understand is hardly edifying, son. I'd rather watch paint dry.

@@chrisrogers3436 The only thing I'll ever learn from Tour and Meyer is how not to do science. And I already know that.

Well, we can't choose our parents. But science outgrew religion.

​@@Sparrow-hawk-666 , What religion?

Yeah, two ignoramuses discussing science they've never read or understood is satisfying. Sure.

Well, religion had nothing to do with Newton's theories about motion and gravity. And that's what he's famous for, not his religion.

@@Sparrow-hawk-666 Yes, I know that. Thank you. However, I find his writings on religion interesting, too. I like the esoteric stuff.

You could have researched it yourself.

@kymdickman8910 That is true. It was way before the internet. I didn't have the idea of doing research. This happened in grade school. I do whis at that time to be more knowledgeable.
