    ABOUT BECKET:
    Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory
    School of Dallas.
    After graduating from Austin College in Texas, Becket moved to Los Angeles to pursue his
    dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually went on to become a
    production designer working with the top photographers and directors in the world on fashion
    shoots for magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and for ad campaigns such as Gap,
    L'Oréal Paris, and Nike.

    Finding a new sense of freedom in L.A., Becket also fully engaged in his new life as a gay man.
    He had a series of many relationships with men throughout the next fifteen years.
    In September of 2009, Becket met a stranger at a coffee shop in Silver Lake who invited him to
    his church in Hollywood called Reality L.A. Becket reluctantly agreed to attend the service.
    After hearing the sermon that Sunday, Becket was utterly transformed by the gospel and gave his
    life to Christ. He also knew on that day when God revealed Himself to him that homosexuality
    was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket was more than happy to count
    everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord.
    Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences
    helping believers (and non-believers) understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally,
    and personally. Balancing grace and truth when teaching on this subject is of primary
    importance. His goal is to challenge the current cultural narrative about sexuality in general and
    homosexuality in particular by demonstrating through his personal testimony and biblical truths
    that, yes, homosexuality is still a sin, and that following Christ is infinitely more satisfying and
    joyous.
    He has lived all over the world in major cities such as Rome, Vienna, and Tokyo.
    Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of
    Arts in Theology.
    Becket’s book, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, with a
    foreword by Francis Chan, published by Thomas Nelson, released July 30, 2019.

      Even mainstream secular scientists claim that approx. 95% of the Universe is still unknown (i.e. Dark Energy and Dark Matter). Of the remaining 5% of the Universe, only 0.0035% exists within the visible light spectrum which the human eye is capable of observing. Moreover, of all that is made of atoms and capable of being observed in this "Material" universe, 99.999999999% is actually empty space (i.e. "Non-material"). Therefore, there is much, much more that humanity does not know about the Universe and Reality than it does know. Based on just this information, the position of claiming to be Atheist is shown to be illogical, irrational and unreasonable.
      The illogical, irrational, and unreasonable position of claiming that there is No Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence (i.e. Atheism): The fallacy is the assumption that something is true (i.e. Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence does not exist) unless proven otherwise. The Claimant making a negative claim (i.e. Universal Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence does not exist) cannot logically, rationally, and reasonably prove nonexistence. Because, for a Claimant to know that X does not exist would require the Claimant to possess 100% knowledge of all things with 100% certainty and 100% accuracy (i.e. omniscience).
      Over the millennia, connotations of the word "God" have become so deteriorated. The terms Consciousness / Mind / Intelligence seem more relevant for these types of discussions. It seems that the concept of God is not experimentally testable. However, evidence for the effects of Consciousness / Mind / Intelligence are scientifically demonstrable.
      *_“… Every one who is seriously engaged in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that the laws of nature manifest the existence of a spirit vastly superior to that of men, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.”_* Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), founder of modern physics (Theory of Relativity inter alia) and 1921 Nobel prize winner
      *_“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind (i.e. Observer). This mind is the matrix of all matter.”_* Max Plank (the Father of Quantum Physics)
      Modern scientific discoveries in Genetics (i.e. biology) have shown that functional / coded / digital Information (i.e. DNA code) is at the core of All Biological Systems. Without functional / coded / digital information, there is No biology. The only known source (i.e. cause) in the universe that has been Observed (i.e. Scientific Method) in nature to be capable of producing functional / coded / digital information, such as that found even in the most primitive biological systems, is mind / consciousness / intelligence.
      During an interview, when asked if the genetic code is really a code, Dr. Richard Dawkins answered, *_“It [the genetic code] is a code. It's definitely a code.”_* (Source: Jon Perry - Genetics & Evolution Stated Casually CZcams Channel Interview with Dr. Richard Dawkins on 4-2-2022. Dr. Richard Dawkins is widely regarded as the world’s foremost expert on Darwinian Evolution)
      The fact that DNA / genes (biological coded information) exists at all shows that a Consciousness-'Intelligence-Mind' is involved in the initial introduction and subsequent propagation of living systems. Un-directed random material natural processes have never been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to be capable of producing Functional / Coded / Digital information such as that required for biological systems, even at the most primitive levels of biological life.
      *_"Language: All Digital communications require a formal language, which in this context consists of all the information that the sender and receiver of the digital communication must both possess, in advance, in order for the communication to be successful."_* (Wikipedia: Digital Data) Inherent in DNA is language. Language is scientifically proven to be the product of only Mind/ Consciousness / Intelligence.
      Laws of the Universe exist Independent of anyone's personal beliefs in the existence of the Laws of the Universe. Just as man-made laws govern society globally, Universal Laws govern the entire Universe. Un-directed random material natural processes have never been observed in nature or experimentally demonstrated to be capable of producing any form of laws. As scientifically confirmed, non-material laws are the product of only Mind / Consciousness / Intelligence.

    Albert Einstein said in an interview "As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.... No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in everey word. No myth is filled with such life. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrase-mongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot." - from What Life Means to Einstein in The Saturday Evening Post, October 26,1929

      ​@@tstieber Define "actual judaism". Do you define it as "ethnic jews"? All different traditions of judaism have ethnic jews. Who says rabbinical judaism is the true one? There were many traditions of judaism who accepted Jesus as the messiaha, but they were exterminated by rabbinical judaism. *Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri* himself was an ethnic jew and rabbinical jew for most of his life, until he accepted Jesus as the messiaha at the end of his life, and all of his disciples now accept Jesus as the messiaha as well (One of his disciples said that on camera !!!).

      I get tired of listening to all the "interpretations" that try to make it more palatable but to me the Bible was written to be adhered to literally .........the words were never meant to be interpreted .
      For instance, the man who was found collecting sticks on the sabbath, Moses asked God what should be done with him and god told Moses that he must be put to death for working on the sabbath. No second chance and no appeal for mercy , SO how many Christians have ignored Gods word and worked on the sabbath ?

Maybe the issue that we're having, (not me and you, but everyone in general who's making these kinds of points) is interpreting the story of the God of the old testament verses the Christian representation of the same God, Creator, redeemer. I have read a good amount of scripture out of curiosity, and I still have questions. If God is who others have said he is, I guess we'll all find out some day, maybe.

      Not really "HUGE" (in my opinion). God created science, so it's very natural for a scientist to believe in God, since they study His handiwork up close and personal! As a mathematics major (before becoming a Christian), I could easily see and believe in God by observing the beauty of mathematics -- I knew SOMEONE had to have created math. Lots of people believe in God -- that's a good thing, but the really important thing is to believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Merely believing that God exists will not save someone.

      Besides the first three recommendations I haven't read the books. But they are on my booklist and they are worth considering, although I can obviously not personally attest to them. The first three recommendations I can attest though. Especially if you don't want superficial books. My booklist is well over 150 books and I could recommend more. But too much is not as helpful as a short list. That's why I selected the best over a range of topics.
      _- Lysia McGrew_ has three good books on the historicity and reliability of the new testament.
      _- Stairway to life_ is a great book on difficulties in abiogenesis.
      _- Controversy of the Ages_ describes how Christians dealt with science over history and how old earth and young earth and stuff like that developed.
      _- Darwin Devolves: The New Science About DNA That Challenges Evolution_ This book is about the experiments showing positive and negative mutations in Evolution.
      _- Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth: Creationist Research_ The title says it all.
      _- Crucifixion_ by _Martin Hengel_ Very in-depth on the crucifixion.
      _- THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS: A NEW HISTORIOGRAPHICAL APPROACH_ Also very in-depth on the crucifixion.
      _- The Big Book of Bible Difficulties: Clear and Concise Answers from Genesis to Revelation_ The title says it all.
      _- Mind & Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature is Almost Certainly False_ The title says it all. If I'm not mistaken then this is not really a Christian book. But it is certainly against materialism.
