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.

There are people who would say the reverse

@@adriatik7070 Many people react better to belief in god when it is not forced upon them. Organized religion can often lose its roots in worship of God, personally I feel it should always be the individual’s choice to accept God.

It’s truly a strange thing to believe

@@Robert-ct6bcwhat makes you think reason has anything to do with not being religious? Youre just proving your ignorance toward the subject.

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.

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!

Excellent comment.

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

i appreciate your comment ! here is what i wrote as a general comment about what dr meyer said - what do you think ? -> life itself is a continuous miracle and yet - you want to relegate God's work to being only using natural phenomenon ? - what about the transubstantiation of the eucharist ? is that just a big wind that blows particles of Jesus into the bread and wine molecules so that they just get replaced by natural phenomenon ? what happens to the bread and wine molecules ? - oh - i got it now - and this probably explains the water to wine problem ( below ) - you think God causes certain atomic particles to break off from some atoms and then they travel and interact with the new atomic particles of the substance needing to be changed - so that the water gets hit by atomic particles that were torn off other things like rocks or something and then they attack the water molecules in the right way for perfect wine to get infused with all the properties of aged fine win - and the eucharist must be just more atomic particles torn off some rocks somewhere and then impacted into the bread and the wine is just the right way to make them turn into the body and blud of Jesus . - that does not seem to be a sound doctrine or a good religion or a true worship of the living God . - well then if miracles are just operational interventions which only use natural phenomenon - how did God get the fermented grape juice in the containers that were full of water - by natural phenomenon ? did He cause a wind to blow a bunch of grapes into a pile in a super hot area - or maybe out into space where the sun dried them then back on earth - where the wind beat them against some rocks until they were powder - then the wind directly blew the powder - along with the right bacteria into the water into the jugs ? - then - by a super scarce natural phenomenon - He made the bacteria act in a fashion that almost never happens but it does with exactly the right conditions - the germs did the equivalent activity of 100 months of fermentation and aging - in only 5 seconds time . - i bet you may also believe that God created all the animals and even humans in the same way - all by physical / natural / phenomenon . - your faith is so incomplete - that it appears not to be in the living God - but in the physical world

Leprechauns are also not testable. They are transcendent.

"real science" is that what they pump out on their blogs and YT channels?

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!

Especially since there are many other naive individuals like yourself claiming it's their God that did it

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

Do you actually know him if he's the smartest guy you've encountered in one way or the other you don't get out much

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

"This was so excellent!! Steven is a wealth of information , knowledge and wisdom!" You spelled misrepresentations, blunt lies and fallacious reasoning wrong

.....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. 🤣🤣🤡

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.

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.

"you do amazing work." Lying to people?

How? And what point?

​​​​@@Sparrow-hawk-666 well my hypothesis from looking into it briefly is Jesus was taking advantage of the surface tension and buoyancy. If there is enough pressure going up rather than down into the water it causes the water to go up towards the surface, pushing it up. Causing an object to float on the surface of the water similar to small insects that will walk on water to drink and fly off. But if there is enough pressure going down then it causes the water to push it down like dropping a baseball into a pool of water. So it could be possible he had more oxygen in his body that caused his body to float like a basketball floating on water. Or he had lost enough mass to become light enough to take advantage of the surface tension and buoyancy But again my hypothesis can't explain why it could've happened, only the scriptures told us why, but it's more of how it could've happened.

​@Sparrow-hawk-666 Honestly, my hypothesis is, that another scientist also hypothesized, is that there was a thin layer of ice enough to hold Jesus up. Just like bugs when they are able to walk on water the waters temperatures have to be colder for the molecules to start tightening up enough without becoming a solid. The small insects can take advantage of the surface tension and buoyancy. But often when the water is too hot the insect will sink down because the molecules are so spread apart it pulls them down the free spaces. So the father possibly changed the weather conditions to cause the water to be just cold enough to create this thin layer of ice for his sons mass to have the ability to walk on water. This explains the how But what's the why? In scripture Peter was told to come out to the water with Jesus having faith in our Lord. The father could've been proud of Peter to have that amount of faith in his son to walk on water with him so he had made just the right enough of cold temperatures to create the thin ice piece but when he had fear came onto him he had lost his faith in him, remember he is the way to the father so if we dont have faith in him our fathers hand is father from us. So by fearing what would happen to him Gods hand that is outside of the law of nature, space, and time because hes the creator of the laws of our universe. It started to go into the phase of the water heating up just enough in that area to start spacing the molecules to then start breaking down that just perfectly thin layer of ice that matched peters body mass.

"The fact that Jesus walked on the water," is no fact to begin with...

since whn does lying about science bring "truth and clarity of thought"?

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.

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

@@Michael-im1vc I learned something new today!

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.

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?

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.

@@Sparrow-hawk-666 How so?

@@Sparrow-hawk-666 I would also like to know, how so ?

@@natashamiller4860 Well, science is evidence-based, either experimental, or observational. If I make a scientific claim, then I have to provide details as to the circumstances and processes followed to make the observation, then anyone can test it for themselves. Scientific claims can be tested and repeated by other scientists. That's how scientific claims get confirmed or, more often, disproven. Religion is based on mythology, which cannot be tested or observed independently. Mythology consists of fables written for a variety of purposes lost in the mists of time. They tell stories that cannot be verified in the present, and often feature magic (aka miracles in Christian-speak) and other super-human claims that are completely untestable today, and unverifiable from independent historical sources. No-one even knows who wrote the gospels of Christianity, for example, or when they were written, and modern science has proven that a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis is simply false. So what could it possibly mean? No-one knows, so theologians just make stuff up that sounds vaguely plausible. You as Christians don't believe the magical claims of other religions. I don't believe in the magical claims of Christianity for exactly the same reasons you use to dismiss the claims of non-Christian religions. You are right to dismiss those claims, as I do. You aren't right to cling to your own.

@@runelund5600 See above. [Added in edit] Also, you can google "scientific hoaxes" to get links to a variety of claims, including the infamous Piltdown man, that were debunked by a variety of means. And the people who debunked those claims were scientists themselves. Science is self-correcting, so claims such as Piltdown man or Nebraska man are received skeptically, and disproved in short order. There's no-one as fiercely critical of science as a rival scientist. You just don't get this with religious claims - instead, there's a quiet conspiracy in order to fleece the flock. That's why shepherds keep sheep, after all.

because they tell all the sweet lies you like to hear?

Oh goodie... Christian fundies and Muslim fundies see eye to eye on stuff. How could that possibly not go horribly wrong?

How, exactly, are we "closer to our creator" through chemistry? I thought the point was the "creator" exists outside chemistry.

Starting from the 'core': ...proverbs 8:23... Dr Tour has exposed that in no lab has life been created. For an economics major like me that notion helps not to worry about those who claim otherwise. Yet I wait for new findings from chemists, trusting still dr Tour's evaluations. And keeping proverbs 8, book of Job and apostle Peter in mind, as reference.

@@MarkkuHoikkala Well, Jimmy is way out of his shallow depth on the evolution of biology and biochemistry, because of course, learning the relevant chemistry is forbidden to card-carrying young earth creationists. While it is true that no biochemist has mixed a test-tube of chemicals together with life emerging instantly, no-one except naïve creationists like Jimmy would expect that to happen as simply as that. However, biochemists understand the basis of life, and have made new forms of it in the form of genetically modified organisms. I doubt they'll crack abiogenesis in Jimmy's lifetime or mine, but what would he say if they did? Obviously, he'd just deny it ever happened, because his creationist views forbid anything else. He needs magic to be real for his faith to make any sense.

@@MarkkuHoikkala What Jimmy Tour knows about research into the origin of life could be written on the back of a postage stamp using large type. His continued employment at Rice is a poor reflection on that university.

I have noticed that dr Tour is waiting for some answers from his opponents. In the meantime, I'll concentrate on causal factors nicely brought out by Stephen Meyer here.

That's a new way of looking at it for me, but I like it 👌

@Si_Mondo Yes, it seems these three areas can be studied independently to develop a better life! Our will alone is not enough! We need the information and the attitude to a complish the tasks!

I wonder how Christ's intercessory prayer affected Newton's views. 🤔 "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me."
