    GOD IS GREAT

  • @PietStassenAdamastor

    1. PROVING GOD DOES NOT EXIST. This is impossible, and I quote: "It will take a super-being of infinite proportions and gifts to ever prove the non-existence of God, someone who is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient and infinitely wise, for instance, someone like God Himself. Fact of life: Only God (‘YHVH, the ‘I AM’ of the Judeo-Christian Bible) has the stature, power, influence, authority, intelligence and scientific gravitas required to ever prove the so-called ‘non-existence’ of God. That He will obviously not do … an eagle does not jump into a cage of its own accord." (Stassen, PJ, 'Debunking the Myth of Atheism-Evolutionism'). 2. ATHEISM'S ABSURDITIES. Just because you cannot find Henry Ford in the engine compartment of a Ford automobile does not mean Henry Ford does not or did not exist. Observational science with slide rules, calculators, computers, telescopes, microscopes, spectroscopes and stethoscopes will never find God ... God is SPIRIT and invisible to the naked eye. Ordinary mortals cannot see electricty, radiowaves, microwaves, wi-fi etc., yet the manifestations of these invisible phenomena are pretty obvious in our daily lives. Likewise we see God manifested in the majesty and beauty of the Cosmos, Nature, Physics and the birth of a baby. When my son was born in 1979, I would, five minutes afterwards, have given my life for a little person that I five minutes before did not know from Adam. That is the wonder of Creation and God's love. 'Evolution' (and not even the smartest atheist) can explain that, so please do not even try ... you will only make one heck of a fool of yourself. Do the math: Scientists concede that they only know about 5% of what is going on in the Universe. It thus stands to reason that God may be obscured from the scientists' view and observations in the 95% of the Cosmos they still know nothing about. That is just about all of the Cosmos (minus 5%). The multimillion-rupee question: Would you trust a surgeon to operate on your heart or brain if that surgeon (at varsity) only covered 5% of his course curriculum for doctors, but missed the rest? Yet, atheists have the gall to want to make pronouncements on the Nature and Character of God on only about 5% (collective) information about the Universe? Shall we laugh or cry? Furthermore, even the 5% that the scientists say they know is anyway highly suspect ... how can anyone say he knows 5% of something when he does not even know what the 100% of that someting entails? Scientists have no clue what the sumtotal (100%) of all Cosmic knowledge entails ... how can they? So, we have no evidence that scientists know even the so-called 5% of the Cosmos as they are claiming to know; we have to take them on their word by faith. 3. WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT ATHEISTS. The Bible says: "The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They acted corruptly, and have worked out abominable wickedness; there is not one doing good." (Psalm53:1bMKJV). . "He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; Jehovah shall mock at them. Then He shall speak to them in His anger, and trouble them in His wrath. (Psalm2:4-5MKJV). "The wise in heart will receive commandments; but a babbling fool shall fall." (Proverbs10:8MKJV).

    THE DELUSION OF ATHEISM-EVOLUTIONISM. In spite of all the robust ‘atheism’ rhetoric in the mainstream and social media, atheism simply still does not convince. Below see some good examples of how pro-evolutionist (atheist) narrators often contradict themselves in books and programmes on DSTV:  “The lion is a magnificent CREATURE!” Suggesting a CREATOR.  “The cheetah is DESIGNED for short bursts of speed, not for long-distance running!” Suggesting a DESIGNER.  “The kangaroo’s hindlegs are an ENGINEERING marvel!” Suggesting an ENGINEER.  “Nature rewards survivors with LONGEVITY!” Nonsensical tautology: ‘Survivors will live for a long time!’  “It’s all about the SURVIVAL of the FITTEST!” Nonsensical tautology or reasoning in circles: “Why did the Panda survive?” > “It is the fittest!” > “Why is it the fittest?” > “Because it survived!” (They call this ‘science’?).  “I BELIEVE in Evolution!” Disingenuous religious terminology and not science jargon, showing up atheism-evolutionism as a belief-system and not an exact science.  “The COSMOS is a place of spectacular, breathtaking beauty!” Disingenuous use of the word ‘Cosmos’; atheists deny ‘intelligent design’ and are supposed to refer to the Universe as the ‘Chaos’, not the ‘Cosmos’ (‘Order’).  “There is no such thing as GOOD & EVIL!” Then they go ahead and say, “Religion is evil!” and object against Christians bringing prayer and the Bible into schools as ‘unfair’ (?).  “There is no such thing as ABSOLUTE TRUTH!” Then we cannot accept anything they have to say about atheism or God because they may not be telling the ‘absolute truth’ themselves.  “There is no GOD!” Scientists only know about 5% of what is going on in the Cosmos; the rest of the Cosmos consists of 95% ‘dark matter + dark energy undetected by astronomical and scientific instruments’. God may be obscured from their view and observations in the 95% they still do not about the Cosmos.

      1) Cockroaches are magnificent too. Suggesting someone who likes scurrying filth dwelling critters. 2) The cheetah evolved. The taipan is a super deadly snake suggesting someone wanted a real killer out there. 3) Ancient kangaroos did not hop. They evolved. Incidentally, they are brainless and will jump straight out in front of a car after standing and watching it approach. Idiot creatures. 4) Survivor species live for longer. Survivor individuals have more breeding opportunities. 5) Survival of the fittest means those who are best suited to their circumstances have the best opportunity to pass their genes on. 6) Our language is poorly "designed", poorly evolved for a more appropriate usage. Don't confuse semantics as an argument. 7) The cosmos does obey the laws of physics. Baed on Plancks number 8) The word "evil" can be understood two ways. One is a source of force, the second is as an effect. They are, in this instance, using the second meaning. 9) Although this is more or less true, it's not a super strong argument. All religions have changed their values over time. So, relative to the absolute truth, they are all over the place. The impact being that taking their word on the absolute truth is also faulty. 10) I more or less accept that argument

      Nonsense. There is no "poof" new structure. Each tiny change is advantageous in itself. It has no direction, it is always a useful change as it is. As for eyes. Photosensitive surface cells are found quite commonly in the animal world. Eyes are basically just that with improvements. And many improved slightly through to very improved exist all across the planet. Giving us nice examples of just how evolution can develop the eye.

    *ATHEISM is a RELIGION!* Atheistic "scientism" is an article of their personal FAITH and as such in denying religion is the worst of all RELIGIONS being a total deception and confusion of lies and half truths. Scientism thereby proves there are such things as BAD RELIGIONS but does not prove all religions are bad. Biblical Christianity is the best because it is based on verifiable history and verifiable science as truth: The lie is ORDER can spontaneously emerge from DISORDER on a continuously increasing scale.. It can't which is why atheistic scientism hides the truth by confusing the terms ENTROPY and INFORMATION! Then you have verifiable truth in the Bible; _"the wicked hide the truth"_ Rom 1 _"God stretched out the heavens"_ we only discovered space is an elastic media after Einstein's relativity _"The life is in the blood"_ when medical science believed bleeding people was a cure _"what is seen is made out things that do not appear"_ verified after Heisenberg's uncertainty principle _"he made of one blood all the nations"_ when evolution considered native people sub-human *WAKE UP PEOPLE YOU'RE BEING LIED TO!*

    These events are not debates and all parties know this. The 2 rational men do not speak the same language as the 2 mystics. It is kind of sickening to hear the mystics talking nonsense because they know that they are cheating by refusing to acknowledge that nouns must point to tangible things, not to intangibles. One side is talking about objects of experience while the other is talking about unicorns, demons, and other fictitious phenomena that are part of inferior literature. Listen to their words. Words describing concrete objects vs words that are purely without any concrete referents. The mystics cannot accept that knowledge is either math and logic (a priori) or empirical. Thus there is no debate, just entertainment. Sam and Michael are getting good publicity and i enjoy watching them, but i think they are almost debasing themselves to be in the company of these 2 mystics, who might be charlatans. They remind me of televangelists.

    At 20:30 or so he said North Korea is not a religious state, but isn't the kim's have been proven to be a man turned in to a deity after death as their fearless leader and God, and that is to be worshiped with an iron fist all throughout that state fervently and with detrimental consequences if not compliant? Also didn't Hitler operate in nazi Germany which encompassed the Catholic population with no disapproval or condemning from the Papacy?

    Did Jesus ever exist al ALL? I doubt it. If he existed and was "divine" one would think that he would have made sure that there was tangible evidence, and I don't mean the so called "gospels".

    150 years since Darwin and still not a shred of evidence for evolution . Richard Dawkins never presents any evidence for evolution . Dawkins is like a catcher on a losing baseball team . He talks a good game , but nothing else .

      2000 years after the bible and still not a shred of evidence for creation countless Christian apologists and still no evidence for creation There are hundreds and thousands of books and scientific peer-reviewed papers that all have evidence to support and back up the theory of evolution because you don't want to understand the science of evolution doesn't make it any less factual.

      There are universities, schools, museums and private collections around the globe with lots of evidence for evolution. What there is no evidence for is any alternative.

    I also think that what confuses people is they just cannot get their head around the vast time scale of years evolution took to produce US.That is where geologists can help to understand evolution when we look at the shape of countries coasts and see when we pull them together how closely they can fit like a jig saw.
