John MacArthur: The Challenge of Science 

I believe in the bible as the word of God. I thank God for sending these titans of the church.

Wow... what an outstanding talk. The Genesis bit with the 5 knowable categories could be a game changer for those on the fence.

John MacArthur has ONE JOKE that he ALWAYS TELLS.. "They're like grape nuts; they're not grapes, and they're not nuts"...lol, I LOVE HIM!!

MacArthur absolutely nails it at 23:25 - 24:18

As a science enthusiast and a lover of God, this presentation took me on a jolly roller coaster ride. Well done John!

I've listened to this study several times and always receive more information and knowledge every time. Thank you Jesus 😊 💓

One of my all time favorite MacArthur messages.

Another amazing sermon from this man.

I listened to this several times now. very good.

Around the 35:00 mark the reference to the "lightning for the rain" comes with a certain subtlety: As analysis shows us, Earth's atmosphere is made mostly of an inert gas - nitrogen. Nitrogen is also a primary element in plant fertilizer in the soil. The action of static electricity in clouds imbues the condensing water with atmospheric nitrogen - and this happens regardless of the weather system producing a thunderstorm or not. Ever notice that fresh rainwater from the sky is better than synthetic irrigation from tap water? Yes both hydrate the soil, but fresh rainwater from the sky has a little more nitrogen suspended in it, and plants JUST LOVE THAT STUFF. Ain't our Lord a GENIUS?

Thank You, LORD, for keeping such men of faith that exalt You through Your infallible Word. "Thy word is true, and it shall not come back to You void."

This was fascinating. One thing that so many forget when they talk about science is that it must be observable and it must be repeatable. Darwin failed on both counts. He talked about bird beaks as his theory for evolution. The problem is, the birds did not change into another species, they simply adapted a part of their own body. Failure on "observable". And we have never seen a species change into a completely and totally different species. Failure on "repeatable". As well, people forget that "theory" does not mean "fact".

Awesome! Brilliant! Breathtaking! Beyond words! Just THANK YOU!!! 🙏

I'm so very grateful for the way these facts and truths have been assembled and disseminated here in this video. While the proofs for the verasity and acuracy of God's word are far from exhausted herein, nor could be in only one message, what was included is more than enough for any sensible mind. Thank you Ligonier Ministries for making this freely available to all. May God continue to use this ministry in mighty ways.

Now your going against what the Bible says when you say the moon doesn't have its own light. Genesis PLAINLY says "Genesis 1:16“ And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” Now...how are you going to say that the moon isn't its own light....there ya are going by that "science" that your saying is false. If you think the moon doesn't have its own light then explain to me Genesis 1:16, where the Bible CLEARLY says that he made TWO!!! lights, ONE LIGHT for the day and ONE LIGHT for the night.

The Lord God's Word is either 100% TRUE on all levels or it is not trustworthy at all... All in or all out.... I'm in

I’ve listened to this over a dozen times and am about to listen again,,,

John MacArthur is more than a preacher. He's a teacher.

When will schools begin to teach our children the truth ?

Beautifully clear and compelling!! Thank you, John MacArthur for always having the courage to teach and preach the Biblical truth!

A circle is not a sphere..... a few comments have to be rethought

Masterclass in Apologetics

Thank you so much pastor Mac Arthur you have presented the truth of the Biblical Christian Creationist Worldview. It is only with this foundation that real science can begin and proceed . In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth and In the beginning was the Word.... and Who is the Word or Logos ? Jesus. ....Creator Redeemer Saviour Almighty God Prince of Peace .Amen and May God continue to richly bless you and your family.

At the moment of this comment there are about 1.4k upvotes and 63 downvotes. I wish they made the downvote folks, anonymously if necessary, explainwhat POSSIBLE reason they could have to vote such a way. Anyway, great teaching once again, Dr. MacArthur.

Not a direct reference to the speaker, more a thought coming from some of the comments that show such appalling ignorance of science: I am wary of anyone who insists on a 6000 year old earth and a seven day creation as a primary Christian belief. It's not required for salvation. It never was. It never will be. Like the belief in a flat earth, it was never a part of classical biblical doctrine. Not that belief in same is a disqualifier for salvation either. It's just that when you talk to someone who is a scientist and you dismiss them on the basis of so called "biblical truth" you make it impossible for them to hear you. You fail to communicate the actual truth, the one that actually matters, the Gospel of Salvation.

The sun and moon are above us and below the firmament which separates the waters from the waters. The stars move above us with the firmament. Except the north star above the north pole that does not move as the earth does not move. There are wondering stars that some call planets.

EVERY WORD IS TRUE AND THANK YOU ABBA FOR THE WORD OF GOD LIVES IN ME BY YOUR GRACE, I'M ONE OF YOUR CREATIONS FROM YOUR HANDS ALONE .

If the Bible says “the sun stood still”, then the sun stood still! Joshua 10:12-14

Very good sermon. .thank u paul macarther

Fascinating presentation

WOW 🙏✝️‼️

I find myself coming back to this sermon again and again. I love John's teaching of the Bible.

I love this sermon how can anyone person that has any recognition of life can deny the diety of God Christ Jesus

Awesome message!

Who was the Tulane professor Dr. MacArthur is referring to?

u purposely avoiding scripture concerning the earth being “unmovable“ and the four corners

Outstanding!

JOHNY MAC PREACHES THE GODPEL , GOD BLESS HE AND HIS MINISTRY. A.REFRESHING CHANGE FROM THE JUNK WE HEAR FROM CHARISMATIC NONSENSE

I see science as a way to discover the greatness of God. Amazing presentation! Love be with you! =)

So basically that GOD is something serious! 🙏🏾🔥

Nobody x nothing=Everything--A succinct definition of Evolution by Dr McArthur. Wow!

Awesome!

Just ask an evolutionary bent scientist how the duality of "two-ness" originated or evolved from nothing. "One" living thing out of nothing or chance is some kind of great accomplishment. "2" from nothing is absolutely impossible. --From cell division ...to man and woman. --From sun and moon ...to peanut butter & jelly. "TWO-NESS" IS THE NOTABLE THEME IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE. -----INTELLIGENT DESIGN.

Excellent sermon. Thank you.

A clear and comprehensive conclusion. Thankyou

Thank you Pastor Mac Arthur.

Amen. Glory to Almighty God. Blessings Bretrens.

Such an incredible explanations of creation beyond all that science can explain and totally fail … God bless pastor mc Arthur …

Bible says first human was made 6000 years ago. So we know the creator didn´t write that! XD

What complete nonsense

Absolutely Amazing

I love God with all my heart but my problem with trusting the bible is Psalms 118 24 God says This is the day the lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it Rebellious reply In Amos Woe to those who desires the day of the lord it is darkness and not light Clearly Rebellious to rejoicing and being glad regarding the lords days that he has made MADE Sunday kind kin-d kin-day Saturday sunday Sat-ur-Day Sun-Day Pass-over sun-down falls on sunday Fallson day these are things people miss the true meaning of

God is greater than our understanding. Math, science cannot help us understand or rationalize him. But we must be glad and recognize when they point us to God. Science: wants to learn how to stop global warming God: This world will be destroyed and replaced with a new heavens and earth. Math. 1+1+1=3, 1000=1000 God: 1+1+1=1, 1000=1=1000 When we rely on our understanding and senses to define God, we create a small understandable God in our minds.. Not the true God who is greater than all we can fathom

Jesus is majesty and grace

Scripture must be interpreted in the same was as when it was written. That means interpret it in light of its historical and literary context. Science/experimental research must be repeatable. Historical research deals with one-time events. Science did not come about until about the 1500s.

Yea! And a tornado! Blew threw a junkyard , and left behind a 747, airbus,😮

the bible clearly states the earth is flat with a dome over it. Amos 9v6. standard american version

Oh no John...You don't know the Bible and its Shape and Creation Otherwise I like You

The Gospel: Christ died for our sins and rose again. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

Man oh man, I love this sermon! As usual, Pastor MacArthur is masterful.

Gad created the scientific system and order. Therefore whatever “science” conflicts with His Word must be restudied until the absolute truth is understood.

Yous statements are not biblical John. You claim that Gods word is without error how do you get the cosmology of creation wrong?

AMEN

how without believing the your book do u know where a carpenter was born 2000 yaers ago thats not a way to test the truth of either book . the bible is definately wrong on the age of the earth and that isn ot the only mistake it made . blameing them on perception is a cop out

44:20 references Job 38:14. Anyone know where MacArthur gets the reference of ancient peoples signing clay by rolling a cylinder? This is a fascinating interpretation but after studying the scripture, the interpretation seems a bit of a stretch.

Pastor mcarthur is brilliant !the only real minister i have listened to as well as a few others ❤ god blessed thos man!i pray he lives to teach 50 years or more !❤

People what does the Bible actually say? The morning and night was the first day: the sixth day man was created: on the seventh day the Lord rested.

Watch The Top Ten Scientific Facts of the Bible. only the Creator could have written that.

Wait... is he saying the sun didn't stand still in that Bible passage?

Where does it talk about galaxies infinite and solar systems in the Bible?

John MacArthur is the poster boy for irrationalism.

The world is a CLOSED SYSTEM!!

Thank you!

Who was the former Tulane professor that John references?

We are a spirit-force-person that has power, that's strong enough to move the material

Gestapo tube strikes again!

European are more bless and a rich country and yet you still don't t believe in God...

Such a wonderful lesson!

darwin was a devout christian, it's one of the reasons he took so long to publish his theory .

What a teacher. Wow

The Bible is a flat earth book.

AH yes, the famous "there once was a professor", he's dead now but he totally agreed with me after reading two lines of the bible. The huckster didn't even give you a name and you all didn't ask.

Open mouth talk about things he knows absolutely nothing, then insert foot thats J MacArthur...

The huge difference between these creationists and e.g. Richard Dawkins, is that Dawkins is totally honest.

If man do not believe that God created everything we see, know, read, and given knowledge from the Holy spirit we are dome to fail and will not exist.

Finally! God has been proven. It was found that he is an invisible extraterrestrial who can conjure up things with the power of his mind. Thank you Joanne K. Rowling. Harry Potter became a reality.

Ik

The bible also says that the earth id fixed and does not move. Plates are circular.

Here’s a supportive theory ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XCNj6Nv9f2E.html

Wonderful…..every word of God is tested and proved in HIM !!

Creation functions like a person because it came from a person

The LUNAR SOCIETY was a group of intellectuals in Britain.They wanted to challenge the Anglican church,They knew not to challenge the virgin birth so they attacked the creation.The Lunar Society was led by Erastmus DARWIN,his grandson Charles continued the attack.

What a nut job he needs to buy a Tesla self-driving car

The question arises to capstone his argument... if you found a Rolex on a remote island uninhabited by human beings would you ascertain that perhaps some catastrophic event like a tidal wave smashed a hardware store and watch repair store and all of a sudden this Rolex appeared 🤔

Oh the ''Von Neumann'' machines were the ones in 'The Matrix'.

Acts 11:26 Kings James Version of The Holy Bible Only

Goat

Amen.

Great message!
