Just came to my attention that I forgot to calculate the percentage at the end correctly. It should be 1.8%, not 0.018%.

Richard Dawkins on being a Cultural Christian: “I like honey, but bees are dangerous and I want to eradicate the bee population.”

Im a christian but my favorite kind of preaching involves using maps and charts, idk why im like this but i grew up as an athiest but this kind of stuff really convinced me to believe before i got into the philosophy and love of it all. When i was a kid and people talked to me about God and religion using emotional appeal it always turned me off from it because it registered as "illegitimate" in my mind

"At the right time... Christ died for the ungodly." Romans 5

Jesus is always on time 😊❤

Jesus comes at the exact historical moment so that truth can enlight mankind, because that's how God operates, with perfection.

The problem with Dawkins and his ilk is not the evidence. It's just ego. The evidence is there. But ego won't let them acknowledge it. They love themselves too much.

Richard Dowkins said "There is no evidence that will convince me God excist" it's not his mind, it's his heart, he doesn't want There to be a God.

I would also contend that without a Christian ethos, we would not have developed the science and technology we have today. So why didn't Jesus wait until there was electronic communication tech? Because Christianity is a prerequisite for science.

~”when the fullness of time came”

If Dawkins accepted Jesus as his saviour, he would no longer be a champion for unbelievers, he would lose his audience, his popularity, and his money.

Brother, I enjoyed this so much. I’ve already shared it at least 50 times in the first two minutes of watching. Spectacular job. Not just for your addressing of Jesus Christ, but your concise approach to other days.

Is it coincidence that this graph appeared in the age when people most believe in graphs?

This is an incredible breakdown. I've tried to articulate these ideas before, but this is incredibly comprehensive and concise. Thank you!

Richard Dawkins on being a Cultural Christian: I like clean water but I hate the water treatment and purification facilities.

First off, this is beautiful, and I truly appreciate this research! Secondly, you've filled in so many blanks for me as I've been working on a very similar timeline of my own. Thank you for this and God bless you!

Julian! this chart would look amazing for a poster. think about developing one with everything you had in the video because i would love to have your timeline chart framed!

Also what about this theory - In an alternate historical scenario where Alexander the Great diverted his conquest westward and successfully captured and occupied the early Roman Empire, the repercussions on the course of history would have been profound and far-reaching. The absence of the Roman Empire, a powerful and influential civilization known for its territorial expansion, cultural impact, and enduring legacy, would have reshaped the political, social, and religious landscape of the ancient world. The rise of Rome as a dominant superpower in the Mediterranean region would have been prevented, altering the dynamics of power and influence in the ancient world. Without the Roman Empire, the region of Israel would have been spared from Roman occupation, leading to a different set of historical events and outcomes. One of the most significant consequences of the absence of Roman occupation in Israel would have been the alteration of the narrative surrounding Jesus of Nazareth and his Crucifixion. The Roman authorities played a pivotal role in the events that led to Jesus' Crucifixion, as it was a Roman prefect who ultimately sentenced him to death. In a world where Alexander the Great conquered the early Roman Empire, the circumstances surrounding Jesus' life, teachings, and ultimate fate would have unfolded differently. Furthermore, the Crucifixion of Jesus is central to Christian belief, as it is viewed as the fulfillment of numerous prophecies found in the Old Testament. Without Jesus' Crucifixion, these prophecies would remain unfulfilled, impacting the religious beliefs and practices of millions of followers around the world. The hypothetical scenario of Alexander the Great's westward conquest and occupation of the early Roman Empire raises thought-provoking questions about the interconnectedness of historical events and their enduring consequences.

A hypothesis is not proven by a set of conveniently selected data points.

I was wondering where this was going...but the timeline was a perfect illustration ... with prophecy being the determining factor... thank you for sharing Sir...

VERY WELL MADE VIDEO. Lots of information that I am still processing but my initially reaction. Very well presented and thought out.

Backwards reasoning like a pro!

Well said brother! I have heard this argument before, and didn't know how to handle it, because it seems so hard to comprehend comparing these characters to Jesus Christ. There is one living God, I love how you laid out the similarities of characteristics that people came to learn about God from so many different cultures in the spiritual timeline!

Great job putting this together. God bless you brother

Your 'red zone', I think is the region you believe it is most likely for a god to appear. The boundaries are pretty arbitrary, though. Why should Pax Romana delineate when the 'red zone' should begin and end. In terms of culturally impactful societies, America has reached further that the Romans ever have. And in terms of connectivity, the modern internet allows for a broader spreading of Jesus's message than ever before. Finally, using prophecy as an argument is begging the question

11:20 when the accurate chart was revealed it was so impactful.. It almost brought a tear to my eye

This video is amazing, love the effort and time invested, really complete

This is the first time I have watched one of your videos. It was very interesting, well-researched and presented. And I learned a lot - thank you

Great chart. Adds another layer to the points about Rome and OT prophecy. Thank you

Zoroaster was a prophet of his religion(s), but did not claim to be one, himself. He claimed that there were two primal gods, Ahura Mazda (now usually Ormuzd) and Angra Mainya (now usually Ahriman), respective three god of Wisdom (good) and Disorder (evil). Likewise, the Buddha did not claim Godhood, but how to avoid and exceed the gods, which were essentially snares to catch souls and bind them to this world rather than proceeding to Nirvana (nothingness).

Wow man just stumbled upon your video! It’s so good!

Even more amazing is how Jesus fulfilled many of the prophesies he had no control over: see how just a few things divide him from the rest of the world population. Each item listed takes chance out of the equation: Must be born a male, from the Israeli population, from one specific tribe out of 12 - Judah; from one of the tribes of Judah - Jesse. In the line of the kingly family of king David. Born before the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Born of a virgin as prophesied 450 years before. Overlay this with the hundreds of other prophesies given and even Jesus’ own words of what would happen to him and there is no question that Jesus is trustworthy when He says “I am the way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me. Many people will refuse to believe no matter what proof is given. It isn’t a question of intelligence, but one of morality. To trust and obey Jesus means giving up your sin. It means if God exists we are accountable to. Holy God. 0:00

Very good video. I’d like to point out though that 100 years window out of say 6000 years isn’t 0.0188%. It’s about 1.5% (very roughly). You see, 1% of 6000 is 60. You’re on the right track and your video made me think which is very very cool. PS. Can you narrow it further?

👏🏽👏🏽 this is most interesting stuff I watched in a while kept my attention the whole way keep em amazing videos coming

First and foremost, Krishna and the mahabarat is known to have taken place around 3225 B.C. That is according to tangible data from excavations as well as astrological placements of the planets. Just a correction amongst many other things but this one stood out to me the most.

i was thinking about this the other day and it makes so much sense that he came when he did because we needed the 2000+ years to happen so that the bible and scriptures circulate around the world enough, and when we get to these times now we can actually back track and look at how perverted the world is and all the prophecies coming true right now so that god can save as many souls as possible, right to the very end and to ramp it up right at the very end. With the devil seriously overplaying his hand right now he's over exposed himself and is helping to save souls by being so open and in plain sight, everything is done by Gods will. God is great.

Jesus is the One True God

That's the most well thought out comeback brother.

this video is just amazing. Great work brother

Evidence for God means very little to an atheist, even if there was video evidence of God/Jesus many atheist would still choose to live without God in their lives because they say that God is not worth worshiping because they view God as some kind of monster; and also they’re not willing to give up their sinful lives.

Don't forget the Jewish punishment from Ezekiel 4 had to run it's course. 430 years - the 70 years of babylonian exile. 360 years of punishment left, then multiply by 7 because they were unrepentant (Leviticus 26).

Loved the video dude! In the future, might be good to calm down with the dust effect. Its a lil distracting for a simple shot

Really wonderful video! I love the way you put all the variables together into a moment in time. I assume with all those books you have read GK Chesterton Everlasting Man? If not definitely check it out. This video to me is a great and expanded analytical telling of the point of that book but with your theory of WHY the timing has to be this way on top as a perfect bow. I will keep coming back to this video! Anyone who likes this video will also like that book I bet.

This is a great video! Highly informative and well put together. Thanks for posting!

0:08 You are misrepresenting the question Richard Dawkings was asked and therefore his response. He wasn't asked if A God exists and his respnse was yes, rather COULD the answer be God and his response was yes. Big difference.

This video needs 1M+ views! Great work Julian!

Nice to see this blow up bro!

Had to watch the video twice to absorb the info, well outlined. Thanks for providing your source, I'm going to buy the book and read it. Always great to think about our faith from a different angle. It never occurred to me to put Christ's arrival on the scene into the broader context of the rise of other world religions on the entire historical timeline. Subbed!

Haven't watched the video yet. But if I were to guess as to why he had to come 2000+ years ago and not today, it's probably because he knew we would get worse and farther away from him over time. We wouldn't be able to uphold the standards and rules of The Old Testament. He needed to do it sooner rather than later in hopes that it would allow more people into heaven than there would be before he made his sacrifice.

Great job of showing a good example of circular reasoning and using your own metrics to grade some thing on how successful it is.

This was phenomenal! Many thanks!

01:54 you say he was predicted since the beginning of time. What evidence do you have for this? It sounds very hyperbolic.

I'm not a Christian, but I have to admit you've made a very good argument. I would also mention that this happened at a time when the Silk Road was well established, and Rome, Persia, India, and China were all able and eager to police it. There probably wasn't a better time for a viral idea to spread across the world until the Enlightenment at least... and it's possible that the enlightenment wouldn't have happened without Christian influences. The obvious atheist criticism, though, would be "This confluence of factors had the people of that place and time primed to believe and sensationalize a charlatan more readily than any other time in history."

I've had something similar in my mind for a long time. First time I've heard anyone else say anything close. Well done.

Your brilliant " plaster his face on a bill board with - "just worship me" i love it. Your sense of humour is what God loves ❤️

Praise Jesus 🙏✝️❤️😊

You might be begging the question with this red zone. You have a list of attributes assigned to only your god, but how was this list derived? It would make sense that any set of attributes for a given god become less common in the trends of religion as you move back and forth in time from when the god appeared.

First thing I'd say to a question like that is, Jesus' introduction at that time was effective, as the cultural center of the world that would be the West was primed for Christianity, giving Christianity a massive influence over the world.

Great illustration and explanation. Thank you for putting this together

It isn't a matter of evidence but of the heart. No amount of evidence will convince someone that doesn't want to believe in a god that calls their desires sin. Even if God appeared in front of them, they would deny Him and believe they were having a delusion. They would rather believe everything came from nothing and when they die, they will return to nothing.

What's even more amazing is that Jesus came right as the calendar was switching from BC to AD! That must be a sign!

You just earned my sub. I'm a noob, but it was such an interesting watch. Just curious, whats the source of, say, Shangdi worshipped till 1911, who even takes that data?

Thank you for all your hard work . God bless you

where are u getting this list of diety characteristics? seems incredibly random and not backed up by anything, almost like you have the answer in your head and first and then making up a characteristic to make it match haha

This was incredibly well presented and thought provoking. Well done.

Excellent, excellent video sir! What a unique perspective! I’d just like to point out one thing, Krishna was not a Shepherd but he was quite famously a Cow-herd. I think it’s similar enough to serve the same memetic purpose (just a different animal) which would give Krishna 10 x similar to Buddha etc

Great study and excellent delivery. The Lord is proud of you my friend.

This needs more views! Amazing video, thank you for this great research

I've binged so much God related stuff and have never heard of this concept before; really good video!

Incredible take. Thank you for sharing

What an excelent content and view point analisys, thank you!

Nice work. There is an error in Dawkin's logic in taking the society itself for granted. As if we would even be in the modern world without Jesus' first coming and without all the development that was brought by the church. "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization" by Thomas Woods explains this in detail.

Hey new subscriber, thought the video was great. I feel like you could have strengthened your reasoning why Jesus could not have been a mythological character, but besides that, good video

Hey Julian, nice video. I know that interview well. Skip to the last part, where Richard says something like "If there is a God, he must be inconceivably great".

OMG!!!!! YOU EXPLAINED IT SO GREATLY!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS A BOOK. GOD BLESS YOU!

Similarities between arbitrary characteristics of gods is not evidence. Neither is "spiritual overlap" portrayed graphically. Also, you've basically decided that Christianity is special, and crafted a way to t show that when Jesus was around that time was somehow special.

The easy naturalistic explanation is just that Jesus was yet another variety of the invented gods that were similar to him at that time, and that whatever god was invented at that time had the good fortune of being in the Roman Empire.

As a non-Christian, I really enjoyed this. Well laid out, sound and cogent arguments and explanations. I don’t know if you make other videos but I’d be interested in hearing and watching more if you do.

Cool assessment. I have thought about this in the past, how the Roman empire was perfect timing, but you broke it down even further. Nicely done.

Excellent video. Plus over 95% of the world's population came after Jesus, so with good roads and communications it was the perfect time.

Dayum! This is a fresh and unique insight! So refreshing. Thank you. Genius work.

I thought you were going to show/talk about the galactic "solstice" 2000 years ago (I dont know if galactic solstice is correct, but its some kind of special focus point, considering the position of earth/our solar system to the galactic center. I had seen some material on that some time ago, but I didnt remember its specifics at that time, I just thought it was interesting)

This was quite interesting! As a Bible Believing, Follower of Christ, I don't always think if timelines, and such, I rather take for granted my faith, and how others must "see to believe". This is actually quite a wonderful teaching.. thank you!! Definitely sharing!!

You also forgot book binding which was important in order to spread his message. Scrolls are very slow in order to get to the information you want to access whereas with books you can access almost instantaneously to it. In one of the KZfaq videos of Pints with Aquines an arqueologist mentions the Roman Empire (peace, roads, all the known world united, etc) and book binding as the reasons Jesus was born when he did.

great video man! i learned a lot , Glory to God!

Great work!

Thank you for this! It could also be considered that in the vastness of this time that a "nobody" born in a "no where village" in poverty with no esteemed education shared his message for only 3 years before his execution. That is to say the nature and wisdom shared in 3 years was enough to spread his name across the world and 2 millennia.

Proof on proof! Thank you for your work!

Dawkins hasn't begun wisdom.

I absolutely love your definition of dawkins! I have thought that so many times but you just said it it made me giggle.

Brilliant assessment!

John18: 37 "...For this I have been born and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone that is on the side of the truth listens to my voice. "

Jesus’ timing was determined by Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy. The location of His birth was prophesied as the city of David or Bethlehem.

The fact he would recognize any god but refuses to acknowledge Yahweh the creator and our saviour says a lot

That was absolutely brilliant. Subscribed!

This video unintentionally validates or gives credence to christ mythicism

He came 2000 years ago because the fourth beast was Rome and the prophet Daniel said god will set up his kingdom during the fourth beast.

That was awesome, thank you!

Dr. Michael Hieser has a whole video on how Revelations 12 is all about the birth of Christ. The prophetic language is describing constellation postions in the sky, giving the day Jesus was born. Very thought provoking.

I am not an atheist. But this was such a poor argument. So many things wrong with it. First off, your argument isn't proving God, it's proving that there's some sort of ideal Messiah Figure, not some ideal God figure. Because God would be an infinite, all powerful being. But since this argument was on God. Let's go through it. Why would I agree with your list at all? Could I not have a God that doesn't fill any of these things and be fully God? And I mean God on earth as well. Let's go through the presumptions of the list. 1) Why would a god need to be predicted? It's god. If it exist, it would be something we should all just intimately know and be able to connect with. An infinite being cannot be separate from anything or it's no longer infinite. 2) Why would God need to be royalty? That's a human concept. Why would I expect a God to dabble in human concepts of hierarchy? An infinite being outside of space and time shouldn't be in need of adoration or position. This is a human concept of what we believe power desires, because human's desire power to lord over others. 3) If there is a God that exist and has created us, his should be the most natural of creation, for nature itself should be in order of its creation. As why would God defy the nature it created but rather be the absolute beauty and perfection of it? This seems to occur in religions who believe the natural world is something separate from God. This is a finite God and thus can be dismissed as the Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent deity that many seek out. 4) Would not my God understand all that I am and all of my challenges? 5) Why would a God be tempted? An infinite being capable of doing anything and everything couldn't ever be tempted? For temptation requires lack. A true infinite being lacks nothing. 6) Should not God always have me where I am supposed to be? Does not the infinite mover of the world have that ability? 7) Was it not Gandhi that said if you go looking for God and do not see him in the next person you meet, you are not looking hard enough? Why is it the supernatural that would be required to believe the deity nature of a being? Would not we all carry in us the light of God's love to be shown through those who fully embrace his presence. Did Christ himself not say that those who followed him could do even greater than he? John 14:12 says, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." If you, a believer in Christ, are to honor the words of Christ, than miracles are nothing special to an individual, but to any who are aligned with God. Thus it is more that more aren't doing miracles, than the fact that some one is. 8) The question would be, why would an omniscient, infinite being, ever stop engaging with his creation. Does not God guide your every step, carry you through each trouble when you're too weak to walk. 9) Would not all that you learn be there because God met you to learn it? Why would God have hidden knowledge and hidden information for which would require a series of rigamarole in order dispense the knowledge to a small group, and have them share it. Wouldn't this ultimate being put it into everything we see and engage with? 10) This one bothers me the most, why would any God require sacrifice? Humans are the ones that demand penance for the evil one does. Why would a God require you to kill pieces of its creation in order to honor it or get its forgiveness? This makes no sense. To what would an infinite being need calf blood, or ram's blood, or human blood, or foreskins, in order to be blessed and honored. 11) What trial could possibly be given to an infinite being? To what would this infinite being need to prove or overcome? In that, the idea of trials and challenges are again a human concept. Why would we have a God that follows our human concepts, but rather, that exceeds our human concepts? 12) If God is infinite and omnipresent is not every meal shared with it. Are you ever without God? Even when you eat or when you starve? 13) Death is a human concept, why would a God ever die? Anything that is not eternal couldn't be said to be truly God. A powerful being, certainly, a deity, maybe, but God... no. 14) Would not God want its creation to be eternal with it? To be an expression of its own eternal path. Would not God imbue something that would create an eternity of existence for what all its creation truly is? 15) For what would God judge? For what trivial notions could any being ever do that God didn't want them to do or allow them to do? Now, what if I told you that every major religion in the world has at least one sect of their religion that worships this version of God. What if I told you that under laboratory conditions, we could put an atheist who believes in no God whatsoever, and give them an experience with this God and 70% of the time, convert them into believing a higher power? What if I said that a conceptualization of this deity existed in books that predated the old testament by three to five hundred years? What if there were natural ways, from meditation, to plant medicine, to liquids excreted by animals, that a person could experience this God? What if, there was an entire field of study around people who experience this God during periods immense stress, fear, loss, grief, or self-destruction, hitting the proverbial rock bottom? What if, every religion, every major religious figure of history, encountered this God, and having only their culture to explain this experience, took on the mythos of their current culture? Would that not sound like a true God? And what if, in truly understanding and experiencing this God, earth became a paradise and you saw the truth of all existence, and no longer feared death, no longer suffered pain or misery or sadness or loss, and were able to see the beauty in even the most horrible of things? That is the God I worship. It meets none of these fake criteria created to bolster up one's religious ideas. It exist in Christian Mysticism, Sufism, Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, and Sikhism all represent the experience of this universal absolute deity. My god is not separate from me, I am a manifestation of it, and so is every solitary atom in the entirety of the universe. For an infinite God cannot be separate from its creation, for if it was, it wouldn't be infinite.
