To those of you who think NdGT was "beating around the bush"...the question was asked by a ten year old boy (who identified himself as catholic), obviously a very impressionable age. He doesn't answer, "No, and here's why..." because I'm sure he's aware how influential he is and how delicate this topic can be, especially for a young mind raised in a religious household. He's not on Bill Maher, he chose not to be blunt about it...he's talking to a kid. So instead of saying, "No. Now mindlessly believe what I just told you..." he's saying, "Here's my reasoning. Take it. Digest it. Think on it. Make up your own mind." He's not your dad answering whether or not santa is real, he's challenging you to think critically. Apparently, he challenged a lot of your attentions spans as well.
***** Regarding your post of: "As a scientist who values questions he can't be an atheist. Atheism is taking a position of 100% certainty that there never is, was, or could be a god of any kind. Agnosticism says: I don't know if there is, was, or ever will be any kind of god." I cannot tell if you are a troll or not. The vast majority of atheists identify as agnostic, even ones like Richard Dawkins to an extent. Atheism and Agnosticism are not mutually exclusive.
BOSSDONMAN Atheism is NOT the claim that there is no God, with 100% certainty. Education yourself, please. It is the BELIEF that there isn't. No atheist who is intellectually honest will ever claim to know with certainty. (This is the principle difference between an atheist and a theist, btw. Theists DO claim to know with certainty.)
***** No, no it doesn't. The prefix a in 'Atheist' means without. The word theist is derived from theism, which means belief in the existence of a God. From there, you combine the two and get atheism, without a belief in the existence of a God (or lack of a belief). Agnostic says nothing about what you believe or don't believe- you cannot be in a state of belief and non-belief simultaneously either. Whether Neil identifies as an atheist or not really doesn't matter, because at that point it is simply a game of semantics. What does matter is he is opposed to religious beliefs fueling scientific ignorance and religious beliefs limiting the ability to perform science in general. I'm convinced Neil is an atheist based on him explicitly stating he does not believe in a God, but identifies as an agnostic in order to appear more politically correct.

He is the gift for us to wash away our sin do we can have a relationship with Him and be with Him for eternity in heaven or otherwise we perish and go to the everlasting lake of fire made for the devil and his angels so we must follow our Lord and Savior He is the only truth and loves us and wants us to be with Him .

@@mitchellc4 your thinking meet with what quran says. Sobhan Allah. Even the bible didn't state that Jesus is the spiritual son of the god. But the bible only stated "our father in the sky" but I think that Bible didn't meant that the god is as spiritual father of jesus but it meant by the word father that Allah is our great God. Logically The real and the true God who is perfect is impeccable from all creatures. And jesus is not perfect, therefore he can't be a god or a part of the god but he belongs as any other creatures. Then I think that ancient christians were muslims because the word Muslim means the one who follows god as the messenger called him. There for old christians were muslims, but they are called by christians because they supported Jesus and believed in his message. But please my brother, go deep in your mind and try to find the real religion of Allah or at least what is the name of Allah religion throughout all the ages. Is it called christianity? Sure no! Because the christianity is only specified for people whose follow Jesus and surely if I was as Muslim in the time of jesus, I would have supported and followed him. But let's think of what was the name of God religion when he had sent messengers coming before Jesus ? Was it called christianity? Surely no but it was called the religion of surrender to God that's called Islam in arabic language.

John 1 King James Version 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. God loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to pay for your sins. If you believe and put your trust in Jesus Christ, that He died on the cross to pay your sin debt and that He rose again on the third day, you will be saved. once you are saved, you will not die in your sins and be damned to hell for eternity. God will remove your sins and your soul will be washed clean with the blood that Jesus Christ shed for us on the cross. your own good works will not get you into heaven. Jesus Christ did all of the work for you, all you have to do is believe and put your trust in Him and He will save you. Ephesians 1:13 King James Version 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,. Jesus Christ is coming back very soon and we all have to be ready. I pray in Jesus Christ's mighty name that you be saved.

There's no such thing as a ten year old that truly believes in religion. They only believe what they've been told by their parents at that point. I see nothing wrong with NDT saying what he said. Especially since he did it so nicely and eloquently.

Winston S. You're probably trolling. So I'm wasting my time. But whether or not you attach the name "science" to a set of observable facts, the fact remains that they're still an observable fact.

@@liquidbraino But he ought to have also brought the argument that If the believers in God went first, why didn't they take it as a sign or warning that worse things might come to them that were left? It was clearly a chance and sign for them that their time was near the end, because we will all die one day and provisions are always made for everyone to believe. But we ask the wrong questions in our disbelief. It was a clear sign that their destruction was near. If the Christians in the churches had to go, it was a clear sign nothing and no one would escape the coming destruction. How these creatures deny the existence of a creator, should also be a debate in itself 😂😂 You might find most of them have a guilty conscious and want everyone else aboard the train of destruction. It's simple, creature is evidence of the creator as painting is evidence of a painter and building is evidence of a builder, as you reply look at your hands or what you're using to type and, it should be enough evidence there was a cause to your existence.

I feel like that is because if Tyson has addressed the severe lack of proof, he would be burned at the stake as an “anti-theist atheist satanist”. The simple answer is that there is no proof, therefore no reason to believe in god.
Yup. It’s always the same answer to “good and powerful”. Well, God is good but not with our definition of good. Which is superficial and silly. But you can tell the goodness from seeing the amazing balance from the huge universe to the micro universe within our own cells. So you’d say that God knows balance and justice, absolutely so. But if, by our definition of good, that God is supposed to be “peace” then tell your own white blood cells to stop attacking those poor germs that are trying to kill you.
Or children in general are reletivily honest and mainly they have no control over what situations they are placed in so it is plausible that he truely had to leave
This is singlehandedly the best way to phrase my thoughts on religion. I’ve always thought Neil was spiteful about religion but he has nailed my entire thought process on it. Religion is a tool to preserve my morality and acting righteously through compelling myself through spiritual belief. I absolutely love science as a premed college student but religion plays no part in what I believe about science and forces.
You cannot love science and then pretend religion makes no claims about it ….or that it keeps you moral ! If religious beliefs can be improved then they aren’t good ! Being good for a place in heaven is immoral… Science proves gods fake yet you go on believing….
To this day nobody has gone into a laboratory and made a cell from the raw chemicals. To this day nobody can explain what is happening inside the atoms which produces gravity. To this day nobody has been able to explain why the fundamental forces of nature are incredibly fine-tuned to produce our universe. Science still does not have all of the answers. (My university degree is in Biology, and I have an interest in Particle Physics.)
@@SpotterVideo Correct, it doesn’t have all the answers. That doesn’t mean some questions won’t be answered in the future. So far we know a lot about the universe, and some of it has been proven. For example, the Miller-Urey experiment proves that recreating the conditions the Earth was in when life developed allowed for the spontaneous formation of amino acids. The Cosmic Microwave Background allows us to see the remnants of energy when the universe was just a baby. Do not limit discovery just because it goes against faith. Learn how to separate them.
@@altdelctrl4489 The Miller-Urey experiment was in one of the basic Biology textbooks I used when teaching High School sophomores. Do you understand the difference between an amino acid and a cell which can reproduce itself? It is the difference between a grain of sand and a computer chip. Both the grain of sand and the computer chip contain Silicon.
@@SpotterVideo Yes. My point is before the Miller-Urey experiment, people would’ve said creating amino acids from “nothing” is impossible. Before then, people would’ve said evolution was impossible. And before then, stars and planets were still just dots in the sky, thus indistinguishable. All of these things did not agree with Christianity at the time, people just learned to accept them for fact, or deny them because of the dissonance with their faith. Just because we don’t know something “to this day” doesn’t mean we’ll never know it.

John Doe work of the devil 🤔? I’d say that we humans are naturally curious since we are little kids therefore that doesn’t explain that someone or something is making us ask for the answers of things. When you say obviously it makes you sound like you’re very sure that there’s a devil? If so, how do you know it ? Cuz that’s another thing that can’t be explained or proven. It’s just sustained by the words of humans through generations. Everyone should ask questions and look for explanations when they’re curious and not just believe in things that don’t make sense at all just for the heck of it.

Another excellent analysis by a great mind. Instead of telling us what we should think, he challenges us to look at the evidence and make up our own minds.
I agree that according to the logic of human reasoning, because of the existence of natural evil, God cannot be all good and all powerful. I also agree that one cannot rationally prove beyond 'reasonable' doubt even scientifically unexplainable acts of nature as being the work of God or some other unknown 'spiritual' entity. But at the same time it cannot be disproven. That said, so what if God or whatever entity of entities that created the universe, possible different universes, and the multiverse are not all powerful and not all good. There is nothing that says that they must absolutely be. And the universe, possible universes, the multiverse, and all things in existence and reality are SO BIG that I can forgive them for not being able to being unable to ensure absolutely good and desireable outcomes and events everywhere all the time. I am OK with God being as good and powerful as he is right now, regardless of what happens to me. I am OK with God being good and powerful enough.
How can he see no good?? God gave us life, puppies, beaches, laughter even taste buds for us to enjoy taste. I'm a Christian and I'm not excluded of the things of the world. I broke my jaw, I've lost jobs. That doesn't mean God doesn't exist. You don't follow or obey God to be blessed... That's like someone marrying someone for their wealth. The world is fined tuned. The sun is placed in the perfect place where we can grow tomatoes and not close enough where we're burn alive. God is a just God therefore he must judge all. If he wasn't a just God he would be corrupt. Everyone will be judged by him. REPENT now and seek him while he is to be found

His ways are higher than our feeble minds can comprehend, but He has chosen to reveal Himself though His Son, "Jesus Christ", though whom He created all things. And by the same way though whom He seeks to save all mankind corporally and personally from their "denial of Him" which is denying Life itself.
To everyone saying he's agnostic - not atheist: You don't understand those words, and if it's true then he doesn't understand them either. They answer two different questions. Atheism answers "do you belive in God?" Agnosticism answers "is there a God?" You can be an agnostic atheist - meaning you don't believe in God, but you don't claim to know for certain whether he exists or not. You can be an agnostic theist - meaning you do believe in God, but you don't claim to know for certain whether he exists or not. Saying you're either an atheist or agnostic treats the words like they're mutually exclusive. They're not. Even Richard Dawkins doesn't put himself on a 7 on his scale of certainty, making him an agnostic atheist.
Imagine you live eternally with your Son and want to make more sons and daugthers like yourself. Freewill beings. How do you do that? How do you create freewill beings that can only love you ONLY without taking away their power to freely choose to love you or NOT? God is Eternal, All powerful AND All Good and All Knowing. He made a plan for the problem of sin which He foresaw. Sin being the abuse of freewill to do evil (Breaking God's Law). He couldn't take away freewill because then freewill beings like Him couldn't be like Him or love Him or others freely. So then comes His Master plan! The Plan of Redemption! John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." AND Hebrews 2:14-15 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death-that is, the devil- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

@@brianmi40 Which proof do you want? A) A dogmatic anthropomorphic religious definition B) A definition which requires miracles that run counter to nature C) A definition which denies miracles and denies the exaggerated anthropomorphic dogma D) None of the Above I only know a few who would pick C above. Most are in A and B camp, while there are those in the D camp. Those who are in the C camp will never satisfactorily define God for the believer or the Atheist . Basically the endeavor to prove to a fellow human being that God exist is way more difficult than to understand his existence yourself. You have to first know the person you are trying to reach. If that person is in Camp D above then only a fool would waste the time with any explanation whatsoever. Similarly, it is very difficult ( if not outright impossible) to prove truth exist to a truth denier. You get this blowback. "What are truths? Aren't mine the same as yours?"

NdGT and Bill Nye are my science daddies. Never can hear enough of them speaking. They always make me think critically, which I don't get very often. Refreshing. Very intelligent men.
Oh dude... but what about Feynman? czcams.com/video/GNhlNSLQAFE/video.html czcams.com/video/uY-u1qyRM5w/video.html That dude was a character! (who won the Nobel Prize and hated it).
Oh, and at Eric Cartman - if Bill Nye is not a real science guy then explain how devices that he designed are currently sitting on the surface of the planet Mars and are still in use? And explain how he worked as a mechanical engineer for Boeing Corporation. Explain how he designed the hydraulic resonance suppressor tube used on Boeing 747 airplanes; explain how he designed business jet navigation systems; laser gyroscope systems and has three US Patents if he's not a real scientist. Just because he happens to also be on TV and is popular with non-scientific people doesn't make him any less of a scientist.
handmade nougat He was asked a simple yes or no question....a binary question. A question with only two discrete answers. He is a scientist. He answered neither and that cannot be disputed.
+Andriana Foster see i didnt notice that.. i was so into what he was saying cus that what u should pay attention to. who cares if he is not wearing shoes

He appreciates their opinion and answers without ever making them feel idiotic or like they're obviously wrong while still using what he knows to educate others... amazing guy, I hope I can meet him one day.
I dream of a day when no matter who asks that question, the person being asked is able to say "No" and NOT have to explain it to anyone. Because if the answer was "Yes", nobody would ask for one. And that pisses me off.

+robertk2007 ::::"Beauteous art, brought with us from Heaven, will conquer nature; so divine a power belongs to him who strives with every nerve....." MICHELANGELO
To those of you who think NdGT was "beating around the bush"...the question was asked by a ten year old boy (who identified himself as catholic), obviously a very impressionable age. He doesn't answer, "No, and here's why..." because I'm sure he's aware how influential he is and how delicate this topic can be, especially for a young mind raised in a religious household. He's not on Bill Maher, he chose not to be blunt about it...he's talking to a kid. So instead of saying, "No. Now mindlessly believe what I just told you..." he's saying, "Here's my reasoning. Take it. Digest it. Think on it. Make up your own mind." He's not your dad answering whether or not santa is real, he's challenging you to think critically. Apparently, he challenged a lot of your attentions spans as well.
***** Regarding your post of:
"As a scientist who values questions he can't be an atheist. Atheism is taking a position of 100% certainty that there never is, was, or could be a god of any kind.
Agnosticism says: I don't know if there is, was, or ever will be any kind of god."
I cannot tell if you are a troll or not. The vast majority of atheists identify as agnostic, even ones like Richard Dawkins to an extent. Atheism and Agnosticism are not mutually exclusive.
BOSSDONMAN Atheism is NOT the claim that there is no God, with 100% certainty. Education yourself, please. It is the BELIEF that there isn't. No atheist who is intellectually honest will ever claim to know with certainty. (This is the principle difference between an atheist and a theist, btw. Theists DO claim to know with certainty.)
bengalashe Sorry, this was meant for Tracie...
bengalashe You do know you can edit your comment, right?
***** No, no it doesn't.
The prefix a in 'Atheist' means without. The word theist is derived from theism, which means belief in the existence of a God.
From there, you combine the two and get atheism, without a belief in the existence of a God (or lack of a belief).
Agnostic says nothing about what you believe or don't believe- you cannot be in a state of belief and non-belief simultaneously either.
Whether Neil identifies as an atheist or not really doesn't matter, because at that point it is simply a game of semantics. What does matter is he is opposed to religious beliefs fueling scientific ignorance and religious beliefs limiting the ability to perform science in general. I'm convinced Neil is an atheist based on him explicitly stating he does not believe in a God, but identifies as an agnostic in order to appear more politically correct.
That was the longest "NO" ever.
amen
Actually it's the longest lie, he believes in God, but hates him, because HE will receive all the glory, and Neil will receive none.

Because the christianity is only specified for people whose follow Jesus and surely if I was as Muslim in the time of jesus, I would have supported and followed him.

God loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to pay for your sins.
If you believe and put your trust in Jesus Christ, that He died on the cross to pay your sin debt and that He rose again on the third day, you will be saved. once you are saved, you will not die in your sins and be damned to hell for eternity.
God will remove your sins and your soul will be washed clean with the blood that Jesus Christ shed for us on the cross.
your own good works will not get you into heaven. Jesus Christ did all of the work for you, all you have to do is believe and put your trust in Him and He will save you.

@@liquidbraino But he ought to have also brought the argument that If the believers in God went first, why didn't they take it as a sign or warning that worse things might come to them that were left?
It was clearly a chance and sign for them that their time was near the end, because we will all die one day and provisions are always made for everyone to believe.
But we ask the wrong questions in our disbelief. It was a clear sign that their destruction was near. If the Christians in the churches had to go, it was a clear sign nothing and no one would escape the coming destruction.
How these creatures deny the existence of a creator, should also be a debate in itself 😂😂
You might find most of them have a guilty conscious and want everyone else aboard the train of destruction.

Yup. It’s always the same answer to “good and powerful”.
Well, God is good but not with our definition of good. Which is superficial and silly. But you can tell the goodness from seeing the amazing balance from the huge universe to the micro universe within our own cells. So you’d say that God knows balance and justice, absolutely so.
But if, by our definition of good, that God is supposed to be “peace” then tell your own white blood cells to stop attacking those poor germs that are trying to kill you.
In order to justify your God you have to play games with the definition of "good". Big red flag.

This is singlehandedly the best way to phrase my thoughts on religion. I’ve always thought Neil was spiteful about religion but he has nailed my entire thought process on it. Religion is a tool to preserve my morality and acting righteously through compelling myself through spiritual belief. I absolutely love science as a premed college student but religion plays no part in what I believe about science and forces.
You cannot love science and then pretend religion makes no claims about it ….or that it keeps you moral !

Science proves gods fake yet you go on believing….
To this day nobody has gone into a laboratory and made a cell from the raw chemicals. To this day nobody can explain what is happening inside the atoms which produces gravity. To this day nobody has been able to explain why the fundamental forces of nature are incredibly fine-tuned to produce our universe. Science still does not have all of the answers.
(My university degree is in Biology, and I have an interest in Particle Physics.)
@@SpotterVideo Correct, it doesn’t have all the answers. That doesn’t mean some questions won’t be answered in the future. So far we know a lot about the universe, and some of it has been proven. For example, the Miller-Urey experiment proves that recreating the conditions the Earth was in when life developed allowed for the spontaneous formation of amino acids. The Cosmic Microwave Background allows us to see the remnants of energy when the universe was just a baby. Do not limit discovery just because it goes against faith. Learn how to separate them.
@@altdelctrl4489 The Miller-Urey experiment was in one of the basic Biology textbooks I used when teaching High School sophomores. Do you understand the difference between an amino acid and a cell which can reproduce itself? It is the difference between a grain of sand and a computer chip. Both the grain of sand and the computer chip contain Silicon.
@@SpotterVideo Yes. My point is before the Miller-Urey experiment, people would’ve said creating amino acids from “nothing” is impossible. Before then, people would’ve said evolution was impossible. And before then, stars and planets were still just dots in the sky, thus indistinguishable. All of these things did not agree with Christianity at the time, people just learned to accept them for fact, or deny them because of the dissonance with their faith. Just because we don’t know something “to this day” doesn’t mean we’ll never know it.

I feel so dumb! I've been reading these comments trying to figure out what NDT stands for 😂😂😂 I finally figured it out... 🤯🤯🤯
He was asked a direct question and was too cowardly and worried about alienating religious folks to provide a direct answer.
He could have answered the actual question that he was asked without telling the child what to think.

Another excellent analysis by a great mind. Instead of telling us what we should think, he challenges us to look at the evidence and make up our own minds.
I agree that according to the logic of human reasoning, because of the existence of natural evil, God cannot be all good and all powerful. I also agree that one cannot rationally prove beyond 'reasonable' doubt even scientifically unexplainable acts of nature as being the work of God or some other unknown 'spiritual' entity. But at the same time it cannot be disproven.
That said, so what if God or whatever entity of entities that created the universe, possible different universes, and the multiverse are not all powerful and not all good. There is nothing that says that they must absolutely be. And the universe, possible universes, the multiverse, and all things in existence and reality are SO BIG that I can forgive them for not being able to being unable to ensure absolutely good and desireable outcomes and events everywhere all the time.
I am OK with God being as good and powerful as he is right now, regardless of what happens to me. I am OK with God being good and powerful enough.
It's a very old argument, God cannot be all good and all powerful. Except that he changed in the Bible.
Spot on. He stated on tom bileu That this is his actual purpose he feel for his life
How can he see no good?? God gave us life, puppies, beaches, laughter even taste buds for us to enjoy taste. I'm a Christian and I'm not excluded of the things of the world. I broke my jaw, I've lost jobs. That doesn't mean God doesn't exist. You don't follow or obey God to be blessed... That's like someone marrying someone for their wealth. The world is fined tuned. The sun is placed in the perfect place where we can grow tomatoes and not close enough where we're burn alive. God is a just God therefore he must judge all. If he wasn't a just God he would be corrupt. Everyone will be judged by him. REPENT now and seek him while he is to be found
.
That was a damn epic answer to a pretty simple question.
Because if he said "no" the religious would bash
***** Because no is the wrong answer. But I still disagree with ndgt.
It was a pretty stupid opinion to give up God on. Why does death have to be synonymous with badness or no existence of God. Idiot.
***** It might be hard for us to fathom what it would be like to endure that sort of tragedy. There are few examples of that sort of devastation in recent history, and the impact of that on ancient civilizations is probably hard for us to comprehend, let alone relate to. I thought it a little odd of a story to start with though, in light of where he ended it.
***** Saeed. The second you call someone an idiot ONLY because they don't agree with your version of the world immediately turns off people. Try explanations--not tirades. I really would like to know your thought processes. Using "idiot" only tells me that you are close minded and refuse to listen to anyone else. Calling Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson an "idiot" is pretty far fetched. He is an astrophysicist. He explains SCIENCE. So join the conversation and tell us your reasoning in a detailed rational process. I learned to think with scientific theory and three post grad degrees in the fields of science.

@@macmanuelodumeru3708 I beg to differ! He is all powerful Because He created the universe without any help. He just won't force you to love Him. He wont't force you to obey His Law. He trully created freewill beings. That's power. He has the solution for ALL beings who suffer because of their disobedience. He has the solution for death and pain caused by our own wrong choices. Jesus Christ! He will allow you and I to not only choose Him (meaning choosing life) or not choose Him (meaning death). No parent wants forced love! There's no such thing! Love is trully given and trully received! He has refrained from destroying all of us for our wrong choices in NOT choosing life, but gave us life through His Son's sacrifice that took away our sins. There's no greater love! We can be Holy in His sight because of the forgiveness and that comes through Jesus Christ. What love!

God cannot be "explained" , he cannot be found out, He is eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent and above all He is Love. His ways are higher than our feeble minds can comprehend, but He has chosen to reveal Himself though His Son, "Jesus Christ", though whom He created all things. And by the same way though whom He seeks to save all mankind corporally and personally from their "denial of Him" which is denying Life itself.
To everyone saying he's agnostic - not atheist: You don't understand those words, and if it's true then he doesn't understand them either. They answer two different questions.
Atheism answers "do you belive in God?"
Agnosticism answers "is there a God?"
You can be an agnostic atheist - meaning you don't believe in God, but you don't claim to know for certain whether he exists or not.
You can be an agnostic theist - meaning you do believe in God, but you don't claim to know for certain whether he exists or not.
Saying you're either an atheist or agnostic treats the words like they're mutually exclusive. They're not. Even Richard Dawkins doesn't put himself on a 7 on his scale of certainty, making him an agnostic atheist.
