Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@GabrielFlies says : Even the Big Bang has been refuted by scientists now, they haven’t got a clue>> <<@silverbackhayabusa says : 2:00:53 This is sadly what it looks like when you define your own god. If you insist on taking some attribute that you've decided is critical in defining your character and insisting God define himself by that same attribute, you're not looking to find God your looking to invent a god. Is God a Scotsman? No, then I guess I'm not a Christian. Is God a Bills fan? No, then I'm not a Christian. Does god prefer strawberry over mint chocolate chip ice cream? No, then I'm not a Christian. Does all this sound silly? Well, so does insisting on there being a female person in the godhead. If you're look for a "divine feminine" within the godhead, the closest you'll find is His Church, the Bride of Christ.>> <<@barryjones9362 says : Will god protect an atheist from hell for the time it takes an atheist to research Turek's claims? Or is there a possibility I could die in a traffic accident on the way to purchase Turek's books, and end up in hell? Or would Turek contradict historic Christianity and insist that in the case of the untimely death of those sincerely seeking truth, God would give them a second chance in the afterworld? If God will not guarantee me protection from hell while I "check out" Christian claims, then doesn't that mean it would be better for me to first believe, and only later go looking for the evidence? But if I need to convert before "checking out" the evidence, what is the purpose of Turek in giving apologetics arguments to unbelievers? Is Turek expecting that yes, God will likely protect those unbelievers in his audience from hell for a least a few days as they go about Googling his claims? That sounds like an unbiblical assumption, the bible nowhere guarantees that anybody can delay the day of their death as long as they are sincerely "checking out" some apologist's claims.>> <<@datchet11 says : 2:27:03>> <<@erichetherington9314 says : "I have only a small flickering light to guide me in the darkness of a thick forest. Up comes a theologian and blows it out." --Denis Diderot,(French Philosopher, 1713-84) who wrote the first Encyclopedia (l'Encyclopédie) in western culture. Like any thinking person, he had a problem with theologians claims as ultimate truth their particular views, in a field where ultimate truth is unknowable.>> <<@mashable8759 says : Atheism is not a belief system lmao>> <<@IvanPhil says : 1:01:08>> <<@colinmatts says : You don't need faith to be an atheist. Just a healthy contempt for the kind of BS people like Turek engage in.>> <<@garretts431 says : i love watching all his videos, which are the same thing, all the time. it's a nice review every time>> <<@almaslover says : Had this turned all the way up... but the audio is still super low but I could follow...>> <<@dkbradshaw says : The word in the Bible to create is actually to ORGANIZE. God organized from existing matter.>> <<@scottthong9274 says : Here's how I would have answered the Mother God questioner: "Logic and arguments have their use, but what it comes down to here is what God has clearly stated in the Bible. That being said, God's last and best creation is woman! Creation was not complete until God made Eve. Woman is the first female imager to ever exist, think about how amazing that is! Even the angels in Genesis 6 wanted to be with women.">> <<@Peter-wl3tm says : “If there is a God who can act, then there can be acts of God. The only way to show that miracles are impossible is to disprove the existence of God” ———— Norman Geisler>> <<@thomasmendez3847 says : FRANK TUREK! I CAN`T THANK YOU AND GOD ENOUGH. For real, what you do is so important, intelligent and trascendental. Thank you.>> <<@stlouisix3 says : Christ is God☦✝ Without Christianity, it's impossible for rational 'belief in' capitalism to exist!>> <<@zeddicuszorrander3599 says : 1:00:00-1:05:46 The idea that God wrote his morality on our hearts, is just plain wrong. We don't all share the same morality, and we certainly don't all agree on the Bible's morality. This is willing ignorance on Frank Turek's part. He's telling everyone how they feel, and when we tell him we don't feel the same way he says, "Yes, you do." Even when I was a Christian, I had my disagreements with God's morality. But to think everyone outside your denomination just knows what's right, but chooses to do evil is extremely insulting.>> <<@vladimirstolov9324 says : this guy tries to make a bunch of points about what atheists believe, and yeah maybe some atheist do believe those things.....that's not what makes them an atheist though...... the video misses the entire point of atheism........all we believe is that there isn't enough evidence for your god (or any other).>> <<@godsugarkitchen says : Thanks Frank! Been a Christian a long time never heard the explanation that perhaps God ordained where people would live based on who would accept the Gospel-so insightful. We know that there's greater punishment for those that deny based on how much opportunity they have so, really, it could be more of God's mercy showing up for those people.>> <<@saurabhjohnson says : Dr Frank Sir, I am really thankful for your videos. Love from India.>> <<@mfrank3518 says : Does YouTube intentionally turn the volume down on Christian faith channels>> <<@terminat1 says : Again, Jesus doesn't simply show up because that would be additional revelation, and the Bible is complete. God will not violate His Word. Also, though it is true that if one seeks God they will find Him, nobody in of himself will seek God. Mankind is dead in sins. God has to do everything to save someone, but He only planned to do so with the elect.>> <<@terminat1 says : Every saved Christian is a prophet and has a mandate to send out the Gospel (Matthew 28:19-20). As for miracles, if one happens today, it must be from Satan. God will not violate His Word, and He says in Revelation 22:18 that the Bible is complete.>> <<@terminat1 says : The Bible is clear that man is dead in sins and in total rebellion against God. Everyone that winds up going to Heaven is forced there by God. If we had our choice, every person would choose rebellion and separation from God. Sure, a person would love to get right with God on his own terms, but not on God's terms. And so God has to draw ("drag" in the Greek) those whom He wishes to save, those whom He chose before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1).>> <<@andibichler2 says : I was raised as a catholic, then i became an atheist, then i believed that Buddhism is true, then i was convinced of Islam and now i don't know what to believe in anymore. Through examination of scientific topics i started to believe more and more that theism is a lot more rational than atheism. But i have a problem: The biblical report of creation contradicts almost everything we know today about how the universe and especially the earth came into existence. One could argue that those passages are not to be taken literally, but then how do we know that anything in the bible is to be taken literally? How do we know that god's "damnation" of homosexuality or the resurrection of Jesus is to be taken literally? How do you deal with this issue? Sorry for my english, it is not my native language.>> <<@Globeguy1337 says : 7:44 Intro starts 10:29 Turek starts>> <<@warriors7773 says : I like this kind of video visiting college's and apologetics>> <<@streamlight2256 says : This is a response to Theo skeptomai and to all Atheists in general. You have a right to be skeptical, but you better do the research and dig deeper because there's a lot at stake. No one can force you to believe anything but let's look at a few things. First things first, Jesus was real. His life and death was extremely well documented through History. Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, which is a truth claim. Either it's untrue and he was a liar, or he told the truth and Jesus is the most IMPORTANT event to ever happen on earth. There really isn't any in-between logically speaking. For those that don't know or haven't studied, Jesus fulfilled the prophesies many years before his birth, one of many which was that he would spend a season Egypt, which he did. There is a lot and this alone should be one of the main reasons you take Jesus seriously, look them up it is incredible and there's way to much to be fulfilled by chance. In addition to this Jesus had no sin. It seems like a simple statement but if you really think about it every person you have EVER met you know has done at least one thing wrong, especially the longer you spend time with anyone. If anyone says they have never sinned others would laugh and not believe it. No one laughed at Jesus when they found out he was without sin, and some even followed him until death for their belief in Jesus. Now that I've given some positive example here are some things for the Atheist to consider. Being consistent with your belief and thought process is key, so by claiming there is no God there are a few issues that have to be addressed. The Atheist view lived out in real life, not my personal view: If there is no God and we are all atoms and are here by chance, and there is no accountability after death then there is no standard of right and wrong. I can do what I decide is right, if that is murdering someone or stealing for my gain or I find pleasure in it the there is nothing wrong with that. If I decide to do good then it ultimately doesn't matter because it's my own interpretation of good, and if I change my mind tomorrow and do bad then it's ok too. Society also can't tell me what's right and wrong because each society gives a different standard. That's what living out the Atheist lifestyle looks like. Yes an Atheist can have morals and be moral, they just can't justify WHY these morals are worth holding on to or justify why something is right or wrong, or why it even matters if everything is ultimately meaningless and we're all just atoms here by chance. Good Samaritan story. Why was it wrong to walk by someone in need? Because a person has value because God says they have value. If there is no right or wrong then it's not wrong to walk by someone who needs help. Everyone should then always do what's best for themselves even at the expense of others. When you look at the complexity of the human eye and how incredible our body works together, and how the earth exists and how we all have a moral code inside of us, there are too many factors for it to be by chance. Think through all of these things and do more research, and read through The Bible before making any decisions. I bring up all these points in love. And for anyone who hasn't heard: John 3:16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.">> <<@haakon_hk says : I love all of these links to the crowd talking. 1:40 - 1:50, 1:30. Seems funny.>> <<@intelligentdesign1039 says : Can barely here audio, volume all the way up.>> <<@buckybarnes3803 says : Some females refuse to accept God has a masculine entity, but you can certainly take joy in his choosing and hand-picking Mary as the holy mother of God. Mary definitely holds a position above all other humans who have ever existed (except for Christ), that's for sure.>> <<@zeddicuszorrander3599 says : *Edit* This might not be what Frank Turek was doing, but I have seen him argue this a few times. I'm still trying to find the videos for someone else. 1:40-1:50 This annoys me every time. Thoughts/concepts are not immaterial; they are not gateways to the supernatural. Thoughts are chemical reactions occurring in the brain. If you cut a piece of someone's brain out, he won't have that thought, or that concept, or that emotion anymore. Why? Because everything we know about thoughts is physical. There is no hard evidence to support the existence of the supernatural. So, you can't link the mind to the supernatural without first confirming the supernatural exists.>> <<@zeddicuszorrander3599 says : 46:50-47:15 That's not an adequate explanation to why the first cause was alive/had a mind, or is sentient. Frank Turek made a jump in reasoning. "It must have a mind to create." Why do you think that? It could just be a natural function of reality. I could say the same thing about gravity. "Gravity can't hold us down without a mind," but then someone could ask: How do I know gravity isn't a natural function of the universe?>> <<@iemerald7781 says : Dude I see the same atheists leaving a comment on multiple different videos about the existence of God. I don't understand, why waste time watching something you believe is nonsense? It's either you want proof of God cause you want there to be a God or you simply just wanna debate.>> <<@JUAN_OLIVIER says : The audio on this video is horrendous>> <<@theoskeptomai2535 says : Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending any acknowledgement as to the existence of gods until sufficient credible evidence can be presented. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods._* And here is the evidence as to why I currently hold to such a position. 1. I personally have never observed a god. 2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god. 3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity. 4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists. 5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises. 6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon. 7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._ 8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event. 9. Every phenomenon that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity. 10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable. ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of a god. I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding any acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstatiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._* I welcome any cordial response. Peace.>> <<@theoskeptomai2535 says : Why would anyone need faith to be an atheist? An individual either acknowledges the existence of a god (theist) or does NOT acknowledge such an existence (atheist). I have never encountered any evidence that suggests the existence of a god. Therefore, I do not acknowledge such an existence and will continue suspending such an acknowledgement until such time that sufficient credible evidence is introduced. There is no faith involved.>> <<@todbeard8118 says : Faith in the bible? Am I really supposed to believe Balaam's donkey talked? Was Mr. Ed a documentary?>> <<@todbeard8118 says : Faith is pretty much belief without evidence.>> <<@gamep3kers825 says : Amazing>> <<@CheckMyBioNow says : Is this a reupload?>> <<@rafs.archive says : I typed "Evidence" to 44222 but didnt get nun rip>> <<@redfaux74 says : I would love to see that but 5 minutes of nonsense on the beginning? 😳 Can someone with a brain edit this please? Please.... Christians lose so much opportunity because we don't take this stuff seriously. I guess the talking starts at 10.20....>> <<@ayoogunlana9829 says : Great! Love this. Thanks>> <<@rolandwatts3218 says : If a person feels deeply in love with, and loyalty to Jesus on the one hand, and on the other, they utterly fear hell, then maybe they already carry too much baggage to be able to understand how opponents think and why they think the way they do. This is more so if the love and the fear are deeply intertwined. For example, if it's believed that the slightest display of disloyalty incurs a risk of suffering extreme and eternal pain in hell, then the motive to understand others will likely not be there. This is because to try to understand others would be a display of disloyalty. I think this is why Frank makes so many lousy arguments against atheists. There is just too much risk involved in understanding our actual arguments.>> <<@blackhaze8233 says : Imagine being an atheist 😂>> <<@thenostalgicsidekick3076 says : Apologetics+standup comedy= Dr Frank>> <<@Whatsisface4 says : Hitler was wrong because of the harm he caused.>> <<@saintx4173 says : God actually will reveal himself to the entire world in the very near future, but at that point it will have been too late for unbelievers. Just read the book of revelation.>> <<@IGotsToKnow2 says : Did Hitchens live to ensure his trashed eternity? I don't have enough stupidity to live as he did to find out.>> <<@mcmc2383 says : Craig Keaner has a great book on miracles today>>
