Allowing themselves to be tortured or killed for a lie. See the Huguenots.
@enki354 Says:
Now let's cover why somebody telling a story would make the protagonist look silly. I'm sure you saw a movie or heard a story about some poor snook who appears to be dimwitted and though out the tale he/she gets less so (this is a popular motif). Until he/she proves he'/she is no dummy. People like to root for the underdog. It makes the character look better.
@enki354 Says:
Why would anybody tell a lie knowing it would get them into trouble. Has "Dr Frank" ever heard of the Huguenots? They are a Protestant sect. During Nazi occupied France they would help Jews and other minorities escape to neutral Switzerland to avoid persecution knowing full well that they would be deported or killed if caught. This would involve lying ! But they helped anyway!

Talks like these are always spring-loaded with logical fallacies, circular arguments and down-right deception that all have been debunked and countered time and time and time again. Please, theists, get something new.
Read a book other than the Bible. You'd actually learn something.

Turek is a neo-platonic idealist, integrating the individual forms of Plato into the neo-platonic "The One", or rather his ideal of a monotheistic God. Then he is claiming that singular "One" is the form of EVERYTHING and therefore the only objective cause of not only matter itself but the form matter takes and the ideals and concepts the form itself conceives which already exist in an eternal and transcendent state with the objective cause. In Platonic Idealism for every table that exists there is an eternal, immutable form of TABLE that already existed in the dimension of forms and provides the "tableness" which forms matter into that shape. For every different type of dog there is an eternal, immutable form of DOG that already existed in the dimension of forms and provides the template for "dogness". And there were forms for non-material ideals like love, justice, law, virtue and heroism, among many more. So for any act of heroism there was the ideal form of a hero or an heroic act itself and what they represent eternally and objectively.
Plato's Forms were an idealistic attempt at a metaphysical ontology to provide objectivity and permanence to not only human consciousness, but any object or thing in both nature and man-made, including every concept, ideal and moral precept. The Sophists, beginning with Protagoras and later becoming the skeptics, argued moral relativism and subjectivity during the public philosophical debates and with Socrates multiple times. They made convincing but often fallacious arguments, capable of arguing any position for a price. The were paid teachers who taught the art of rhetoric and sophistry so people could argue for money. Lawyers! And Protagoras is most famous for saying "Man is the measure of all things". So everything is subjective according to the individual and there were no eternal or objective truths regarding anything. The Sophists would have certainty agreed with Nietzsche on the matter who said "All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth."
Heraclitus was another problem developing virtues, morals, laws, meaning or purpose among philosophers then and to this day. His most famous quote is "A man can never step into the same river twice." and represents the passage of time and change while man must change with it, and we do not live in a state of "Being" but rather of "Becoming", always flowing with the passage of time and change. Reality is dynamic, not static. And nothing is permanent but change. So what you hold sacred now may be forgotten tomorrow, replaced with some new sacred thing until it too changes again. So without permanence nothing could be objective and no absolute truth seemed possible. Combined with the subjective arguments from the Sophists, Heraclitus' river made many philosophers reluctant to propose objective and eternal solutions when no permanence could be established. The idealistic response to the Sophists and Heraclitus were Plato's Theory of Forms, built on a mathematical foundation beginning with Pythagoras and his mysticism, especially about the Triangle.
Pythagoras was a mathematician, musician, vegetarian, mystic and cult leader who believed in reincarnation and that mathematical formulas and musical notes and harmony were of a divine origin and existed in an eternal realm, accessible by the human mind only. Therefore the human mind as well must have this same eternal aspect to it, existing in the same dimension as the forms and notes. Pythagoras today is most remembered for his "Pythagorean Theorem", the geometrical formula which describes the triangle: the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. a2 + b2 = c2
Is mathematics discovered or invented? Note that there have been historical cases of a mathematical formula being derived by two different mathematicians in totally different cultures and locations around the world. And wouldn't a2 + b2 = c2 be the same to a Greek mind as to a German mind? So mathematical truths seem to transcend the individual mind but exist in a universal dimension of truth. So this seemed to be the objectivity that the idealist philosophers could finally use to argue effectively against the materialists and skeptics. If the FORM of the triangle was eternal and transcendent, describing the perfect triangle every time, then everything must also have it's own form, providing the permanence and objectivity for it as well. So Socrates and Plato simply took geometry and applied it to virtue for the sake of objectivity, and then tables and dogs and his theory of forms got ridiculous fast.
And so Plato's Forms were refuted even when Socrates was alive, at first by Parmenides and then by his own student Aristotle, using what is called the "Third Man Argument". Parmenides used "greatness" in his argument, but Aristotle uses a man in his argument, which he even converted into formalized logic and a syllogism. It is essentially this: that if a man is a man because he partakes in the form of man, then a third form would be required to explain how man and the form of man are both man, and so on, ad infinitum. So he reduced the forms to an infinite regress and a logical fallacy. Aristotle and Plato split big time on the Theory of Forms and it divided many of Plato's students at the Academy. Raphael captured this divide between these two great philosophers in his famous painting "The School of Athens" at the Vatican. In the center of it we see Plato on the left pointing to the sky and his higher forms, and on the right Aristotle holding his hand firmly to the ground showing his more empirical and scientific view of reality. I think Aristotle had it right...

There could never have been nothing because there's always been something.
First there was gravity and quantum vacuum and out of that was born the universe as we know it.
Our Universe arose naturally from the operation of gravity on the quantum vacuum. Empty space teaming with virtual particles spontaneously popping into and out of existence
@AznBMan75 Says:
Question: Is there a difference between soul and spirit? Or, the soul could be synonymous with the spirit? May be the spirit includes the soul because Jesus gave up His Spirit to God the Father at the cross, which includes His soul. The soul is a subset of the spirit? Jesus also mentioned the soul. I understand that the mind is different from the brain. Science is discovering that the mind is uniquely different and separate from the brain. I believe as a human there are many things that make each and everyone of us unique and special. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
@etincardiaego Says:
"All truth is relative" is also relative. It is relative to all the rest of propositions, which are relative to something else. "All truth relative" would false if you can come up with a non-relative fact. This is not some kind of "New Age" stuff. It is the most common view in analytical philosophy: truth by coherence (Sellars, Quine, Putnam...).

@louielee407 Says:
I would rather live my life believing in a God and die and find out He is not real,
Then to live my life not believing in a God and to die and find out He is real.
At that point I just need to find out “which God to believe in.” This video just scientifically proves that it is the Christian God.
God gives us all the opportunity to believe that He sent His son to die on the cross and rise again for our sins.
ALL of us have the chance to be saved. Bad things happen, and they only happen because of our sin. We only sin because God gave us free will. We can only ever truly love God if we have free will which is why God have it to us. Everything is planned out and everything has purpose.
God is soooo amazing and all we should ever do is worship Him and make him known to others.
There are many that don’t believe and think it is nonsense to believe.
Nonsense means that it is not scientifically sound.
But it is scientifically sound which means it is true.
Those who don’t believe only don’t believe because they don’t want to deal with having to do what the Bible says. Who would REALLY rather give all they have then to keep all their millions of dollars? Who would want to help others when they could focus only on themselves? Who would give away their fame to live on the streets with the homeless?
Hardly anyone because people are too selfish to want to take responsibility for their sins and claim that Jesus is God.

@disco4535 Says:
For the moral argument: It is subjective. What's good for one might be evil for another. Laws are just in place as a societal agreement to make each other feel safe, not necessarily based on a reference of good and evil set forth by God. That's why those seen as "evil things" are still perpetuated, like the holocaust, or the millions of human beings locked in cages by the American Police Industry. Some people think those are great, others think they're evil. It's all perspective.

@bresitfox74 Says:
Ah I saw someone falling for the theory argument in the live chat (I've been there too btw). When in science it is called a "theory" it is not what we think a theory is. What we call theory there is a hypothethis, theories are backed up more somehow. I don't know exactly how, but what i do know: NEVER say "oh it's just a theory" especially to a scientist and especially if their science field is biology.
@bresitfox74 Says:
I'm thinking what they were saying if they sing "hallel" or just "halle" (which I'd say doesn't exist) and if from a language perspective it wouldn't be better to sing "hallelu". Yes, that doesn't fit the structure of the song/melody/rythm or whatever. 🤔 Yeeahh, I'm probably the only one thinking about that and know it probably isn't a problem to say we'll complete the word.

Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." We have all sinned. We have all done things that are displeasing to God. There is no one who is innocent. Romans 3:10-18 gives a detailed picture of what sin looks like in our lives.

There is no option that is easy to believe. For me, the Christian life is very difficult, and I’m essentially motivated by fear. However, I’ve really tried, but I cannot believe everything exploded into existence out of nothing for no purpose and then living things evolved from rocks and gas.

@ijokesolo8260 Says:
22:00 If you define truth as some platonic thing that exists in the ether, then no, truth doesn't exist in that way. At the end of the day, truth is just a word. It's a subset of truth variables being True or False. It's just a label we attach to statements or propositions. Nothing more.
