@@mick1gallagher Have you ever read what theologians have said about the topic of good and evil for thousands of years. Have you ever read how pathetic atheists resposes are to these challenges from theists. Many times atheists look for reasons not to believe in God to justify the sin in their lives. Do you realize you are complaining about evil to justify your belief God does not exist? If Atheism is true, it makes no sense to talk about good and evil. Atheisms worldview has no justification for the concept of good and evil. Theists worldview does have a justification for the moral law.

@@randomperson-gp8ph The terms ‘good’ and ‘evil’ are merely labels that humans use to categorise behaviour, or actions, or the consequences thereof. No god is needed for this. Pain is the driver. If it hurts, you or I, then that is usually considered ‘bad’ (although some pain may be necessary for ultimate ‘good’. Just can’t see how sentient beings that can observe actions, reactions and consequences need a ‘god’ (whatever one is) to help with what is really just a vocabulary thing.

@Htx457 No, Einstein said “The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility…The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle.”, but close enough. I have some questions about your second paragraph: 1) When was it established that nothingness is responsible for everything? We do not know what is the cause of everything or even if cause and effect apply to the beginning of the universe in a way we are familiar with. 2) The process is not said to be random or unguided, just mindless. It is based on the fundamental properties of matter and energy and guided by the effects they have on each other. Why do you think that can be called random and unguided? 3) Darwinism has nothing to do with the universe or the mind, just with a change in the gene pool of living organisms over time. This isn't really a question... more of a correction. 4) How do you know the idea of a god would be impossible? 5) How do you know that we are not automata?
@h.w.65634 жыл бұрын
@Htx457 "Darwinism is held to as high a standard as the big bang and they're both dependant on one another." If you define it that widely, then *everything* has to do with everything else because all of it happens in the universe. I think that is seeing things so braodly as to make the argument useless. Darwinism does not talk about the origin of the universe or anything. It doesn't even talk about the origin of life. So my statement still stands. "The fact is, is that it's a state of physical and material, from a state of nothing. " To which scientists would certainly disagree, so I have to ask you again, when was it established that nothing caused something? "But if you ask physicists what nothing is. Nothing is not really nothing as in No thing. So I'm afraid we're at a point here which this is exactly where reductionist hit the wall. And it shows." Not really, people who haven't thought things through usually say stuff like "everything supposedly came from nothing" to which scientists reply that "nothing" can, per definition, not even exist, so there must have been something. "Sure cause and affect cant be proven to have existed then because it comes as a result of mind and observation and hypothesis." Uhm... no? It comes as a result of causality and the forces that guide interactions. Or are you arguing that without a mind witnessing things, there is no causality? "And I would hesitate then to trust much that comes from it or as a result from it, if it was truly mindless." Why? This would imply you don't trust your PC when it does calculations for you. I mean, in the end it's a mindless thing, a simple automaton working only based on the laws of nature? "Well unless you're going to imply some rational genius behind it, then yes it is random" That's not what random means... random means unpredictable, which is largely not the case, at least not on a makroscopic scale, which is essentially the only scale that our experience takes place on. Things don't need a rational agent behind them to not be random. "And it is in fact said to be something that didnt have to happen when it did, or neither result in how it did." So? That doesn't mean it was not guided by the laws of nature from the point when it started until now.

Lennox is so bad are reason & logic. A house divided cannot stand. We vote because Christians have no quality-controls, & we desire those governing not making suggestions travel is best done with one foot in someone's fantasyland. Come, let us worship Jesus. Let us all forget it was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch-killings. Let us forget we have a saying: God helps those helping themselves, because gods have a perfect record of doing nothing. Let us ignore nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital. Let us ignore a wicked generation seeks signs. Theologians grant the titles to each other without a deity certification. A deity unable to be acknowledged by everyone is a forgery based on literature. Oppression builds character among the dominated. Who do you think nailed the king of the Jews, when Imperial Rome controlled temples & publications? Just for the fun of it, have their Messiah say render to Caesar? My sheep hear my voice. Think not I come with peace, but sword. The literate of the age; built religions & made propaganda, devalued the currency, too. Marvel not I say you are all gods, and so on & so on. Faith is a fantasyland term, & the Christians hate to hear it. If faith had any value, then you could move mountains by voice-command. We know there is no god outside of fiction. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. The Christians slapped their books on the Old Testament, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both, thus proving Christians lack quality-control. Think not I come with peace, but sword. I come to divide this that and the other thing, & I give you tax exempt status. When you realize the Gospels are mythology based on Greek epics - Dr. Dennis MacDonald

The whole "information is non material" concept is really hard to get across to people. However I created a way to help get it across to a broader audience. I will say, "information iis not the letters or sentences that make up a note or statement or book." To this you usually get dead silence. You then break the silence by pasting an unknown language to the observer. Ask them how much informational content exist in the alien language. I usually use Hebrew just because most people I speak with would never have learned Hebrew. At this point they are following to some degree. They get it, words are not themselves information. I then say, "information is the agreement to arbitrary rules." We have a concept of a dog. We then use letters to act as a place holder for that concept. This place holder could be anything, it could have been the letters "cat," it does not matter. The most important part however for the success of concept from one non material mind to another is not the english letters, it is rather the "agreement" that certain letters represent, or act as a place holder for a certain non material concept. Naturalism can't account for rules, or agreements, these two terms pre suppose mind brain dualism. Extra: modern society uses words far too loosely, creating havoc in common understanding. For example "this ice cream is good." Of course they do not mean it is morally righteous, but that they like it. Let this run on for several generations and people begin conflating their preferences and desires for morality. In much the same way this happens in computer science. We speak of hard dives as carrying or storing information. This gives the illusion that information is material. When in reality hard drives are storing arbitrary specified sequences. Remember that information requires an agreement to rules, computers do not agree to rules. So how can a computer store information, which is concept when a computer has no concepts nor the non material ability to agree to arbitrary rules? It can't. The arbitrary sequences on the screen only becomes information when the observer who has agreed to the rules, translates that specific sequence to non material conceptual through by accepting and agreeing to the arbitrary rules beforehand.

As an Atheist I like Dr Lennox. Especially his veiws on Genesis prior to "Let there be light" Very much open to interpretation as there is no mention as to how long it took the almighty to make the earth.

Everyone wondering about Christianity should look up Chuck Missler's videos (especially the ones from the early 2000's and 90's). He is the greatest evangelist that few have ever heard of. I would love and pray for people like John Lennox to come across his work.

What is the harm on believing in a God that tells you to love others as you love yourself; to be honest even if it cost you your life; to honor your parents; to learn and instruct your children ......the God somehow known by many of the greatest contributors in all science sphere throughout history ? I respect atheist and God does not instruct me to harm them or anyone . I honestly would like to know what is the harm to myself and to others ( intellectual or otherwise) that I or others will be subject to by believing in God

because you are splitting the core fundamental reasons from your inner self and subjecting them to an outside entity. You should be kind and love respect others and everything good you listed above because you think like that. Because thats how everyone should be. Because that is how you feel. Not because of an outside power teaches you. Not because some power tells you what is wrong and what is right. The morals come from you not from any other. So to answer your question No maybe there is no harm in believing in God. as well as not believing in any God. I find belief very important to discuss because every single person has its own way of thinking about life death etc.

@@fjolublar the "splitting " of what you defined as "reasons" from my inner self Never occurred to me. Also , I never became aware of those qualities when i came to believe in God: They were already in me( like I know they are in most human beings whether they believe of not). Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to follow them in this society ( not many ppl are forgiving and care for each other) . It was , and it is, more like looking in a mirror : I found In God that it is true ,and the ultimate guiding standard ( or God's will) to follow those good impulses and desires that predated the faith ( which ultimately validates them) ; there, in the ten Comandaments and in the life of the Mesiah , the desires of the soul and the will of God met, and found those desires to be one and the same, moreover: they were the will of a merciful God. Now seeing them now not just as good feelings and desires of the inner self but as what they are outside our own selves : what God wants for humans to do ," go do unto others as you wish others do unto you", You end up gaining inner strength to follow them no matter what the society you live it dictates as the "norm" in order to survive. There is no contradiction or splitting or extrapolating positive personal convictions in order to follow what is good when someone begins to believe in God. The "outside power" is no teaching something new, is confirming what we know is true and right. We see that "power" not as the source of an abstract knowledge that we learn like we learn numbers and equations , but as the ultimate authority that happens to approve what is good, right, noble ; and disapprove what we ALL KNOW is wrong and evil.I agree, there are many people who live what we call a "good life" and don't believe in God ( recently a watched a video of a dying philosopher that was quite interesting ); but to imply that those who believe are following what we call the good and honorable life just because God taught them , or that they are "splitting" their inner self or being coerced to do so by an outside "power" is far, far from the truth.

For me as a laymen it's very simple....God created this Universe game, and us in it so we can find him by figuring out through science/patterns/laws etc how he did it! :)

Another way to approach the brain vs. mind is to say, if the brain is all there is, how come we all think differently? How come two minds can differ, even with an exactly similar brain? Thoughts can be within and outside the brain. Thoughts are immaterial, nevertheless they exist.

Professor Lennox, I'd like to know you're thoughts about Ivan Panin, and his work on the Gospel of Matthew and the other Gospels and the books of the New Testament that showed the fingerprints of the Holy Spirit, and that it could not have been thought up by humans, only written as they heard it.

I think John Lennox wasn’t hard to raise as a child hehe. I could see that he is the kind who is obedient to his parents and respectful to elderly. His visible characteristics could affirm my argument.
