I like how open minded he is and not biased. People like him are rare.
agree
I disagree; he makes several statement of facts that are patently false, he is biased and sophomoric.
i totally disagree, he holds science and religion up as equals, but goes on to give religion a free pass on evidence. We need to stop doing this, religion claims science has no place within its walls but demands its say on all policies including scientific ones.
The thing i love about science is that it has evidence supporting it unlike religion.
I don't think he was referring directly to religion but the concept of God....
We all know religion has become a system of its own...but the meaning of God has now been made an entirely religious term when it doesn't necessarily have to be
I really liked this video. Personally I'm a christian, but also very into science, and specially physics and biology. In my experience, it's very diffifult to have a friendly discussion about God with other non-religious people. And I guess non-religious people feel the same way about it. Therefore it really pleased me to listen to you in this calm and respectful manner. I really hope that these questions will be discussed more in the future, and that we stop shying away from them.
Just had to say that (y)
Good, you're a christian; same here.👍👏🖖
I am also Christian and also into science. But it is hard to believe in things the Bible say or scientist's say if it is not explainable, but also not everything is explainable. Or maybe we can't explain it yet..
+Saghy Boelijn my friend i am a very strong believe of christ , and you must let go of the confusion that you get and read the bible more often and ask jesus to fill you with his holy spirit when you read you see the word of god is the spirit of god , it is the MIND of god so the more youll read the more youll be able to understand the word of god
Cesar Orozco Amen!
I believe in GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe
There is more than what we can see with our eyes.
Jose G Yes I too believe that it is not capable for our mortal brains to comprehend this vast reality. So instead of being binary to the point of saying THERE IS A GOD OR NOT why can’t we just say IDK ? And be agnostic.
I feel like if there was a got our brains may not be able to process it
Much, Much More!!!
@@w1z4rd9 That’s what I’m trying to tell everyone and NO ONE listens. I think that we aren’t smart enough to understand and some ppl still think they r correct. Being an agnostic makes more sense to me
yes. LITERALLY. we dont have the most colour cones in our eyes as other creatures. we COULD be seeing fricking ultra-violet light if we actually NEEDED them
I was an agnostic until I majored in math and chemistry. The deeper I delved into my studies the more conviced I became that God must exist because the randomness of such a complex and perfect scientific world could only be due to a higher power. Just study the the complexity and perfection of the water molecule.
jack thomas yes i used to think same way. But some people say that this world wasn’t made for us, we just were adopted to this world. So i dont know
If the world is too perfect to exist on its own than its even more proposterous to believe that a being was perfect enough to do it
Then how did it come to be ? Perhaps did it appear out of the blue ?
Aren't they not at least complex ? What about hardcore chemistry/physics ?
If I'm stupid, then just talk more clearly ! ;)
What's wrong with scientists believing in religion?
Manuel Burgos Well if they seperate their work from their religion nothing. But believing that stuff on faith is not exactly a good atribute for a scientist.
Manuel Burgos Nothing, because their research would be peer reviewed. Religious politicians however... nothing worse exists.
+camaro406ss yeah and if all of his peers are religious and mix work and faith, then the population gets false information, just like how it has been in the past
It is unnatural and should be punished with life imprisonment in the worst prison on the planet.
See what I did there?
nothing, really. only problem is when they mix both.
My issue with atheism vs theism is this- does it really matter? If a "insert religion here" follows their religious code and lives a life honouring to his/her deity, and then dies...what has been lost? The person (religious generalisation incoming) has tried their hardest to be honest, kind, generous, a loving spouse, a good parent etc. with the belief that they will be rewarded after death. When they die, and if they were correct, they get the reward they seek, but if they were wrong and no God exists, they won't know about it and thus won't be capable of feeling regret or shame about it, but will still have lived a good life that has benefited others. Of course, this view is ignoring the radicals of any group of people which usually makes up the minority view. Just a thought.
Chronos5618 individual belief is not the issue but the system of policing that belief that is organised religion. As the leaders of this system hold sway over millions of people and as has been shown in the histories usually use this sway for personal gain.
The problem is that because some people who are religious feel threatened by scientific evidence that may contradict some what they were taught.
syeina Atheists are a arrogant group, they feel they are better then everybody else. At least 98% of them. Are you a scientist by any sort?
+John Doe isn't that hypocritical?
How do you know they are arrogant? To say that you yourself are arrogant, right?
Scientia Draco You telling me they don't act like there better then anybody else?
"Why So Many Scientists Believe In God" clickbait title........... while there are many scientists that believe in a deity, the vast majority don't.
*NOTE - if you want to reply, please feel free to read the thread because god knows I've answered the same vapid points over and over again and the same damn points get re-raised like it's some sort of revolutionary concept that hasn't been answered already.......

+Jacob Tanner Data.
+Jacob Tanner most scientists are athiests
Uhm he provided statistics that support the title? Good try though
Jacob Tanner It's been a well studied phenomena that the more educated you are the less a person tends to cling to religions (www.sociologicalscience.com/articles-vol2-7-106/) though like Trace mentioned there are always outliers like Francis Collins.

@@darkalley8595 Are you really bringing faith healing forward as evidence. When any sober mind would see that its failure to be replicable renders it inadmissible.
@@memberofthetribe7616 It can be replicated by God. A twig can't cut a weed in two. But God who wields the twig, can.
It's not a 50-50 discussion. Just because nobody knows something doesn't mean made-up stories and ferry tales are any more plausible.
Claire you do have a very valid point... but the reason so many well educated people and respected scientist believe in a god is because the current theories of how the universe came to be doesn't fully support life in any form... remember for something to be proven by science it needs to be repeated and so far we just can't just get life from nothing...
dunhillsupramk3 Those scientist and educated people don't believe in God for scientific reasons, they even say so themselves, it's faith. And the vast majority of world-class scientists in the national academy of sciences or royal society do not believe in God.
Claire
uh did watch the video or even read my comment? in order for a scientist not to believe in something they have to disprove it... you can't disprove god... 2/3 of all scientist believe in god
WTF? Scientists have to disprove something to not believe in it? Tell me how zero scientist believes in Zeus even though nobody has disproved his existence?
You really need some 101 science education by the way. Start here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_hypothesis
I hate the word "religion", I'm tired of it. I'm also madly in love with God. God is not religion, religion is not God. Understand that.
I don't really think that's true
I think you dont like the mutated connotation of religion that our society has created but at the foundation they really are the same thing. Both words are used to describe the ether that is too abstract for us to explain with human language. Its all trivial anyway because this being either is or isnt, regardless of the words we try to tack to "
it" and the pursuit of "it"
God is religion
***** God is not religion. Man invented religion.
+Chiamaka 926 duh including god
I don't see why religion and science can't co-exist. Science tells us HOW things work but religions tell us WHY. I see nothing wrong with the belief something created the Universe and gave it laws and protocols. It's beyond human comprehension
religion is political. its not pure. its man made thus evil. if you truly believe in god you dont need a religion. you know right from wrong. pure from evil, good from bad. no book needs to tell you whats right and wrong. its embedded in your dna.
"In your DNA"
Considering all the evil mankind has done... with or without religion...
“ I USE RELIGION TO KNOW WHY THINGS HAPPEN AND I USE SCIENCE TO KNOW HOW THINGS HAPPEN “ - I being a physicist , I am a strong believer in god and that’s what gives me the hope , the meaning, the purpose of my existence. But science cannot explain the purpose of life. So be open minded and think beyond science , see if something cannot be explained with the help of science ,doesn’t mean it’s false .
Because they contridict eachother...
Seriously... fuck off... this argument is sooo bad... and It's just stupid... just... no... they can't live in harmony because religion is always fucking yelling "HONEY! WE'RE OUT OF SOAP!" while it's washing people's brains... so much soap... and if you go "Hey what about sciense?"
Religion goes "OH HONEY! YOU GOT THE BAD SOAP AGAIN! WE NEED BETTER SOAP!
How can you say with certainty that that something is true if it is beyond human comprehension?
Great video. I personally do believe in God. To me evolution expresses the progress of life, and my belief in God expresses the origins.
Except Evolution did it ALL, and you're too ignorant to understand that.
Total simpleton.
@Alex Yordanov
I forced the TRUTH on her, and she was religious.
Evolution expresses the progression. Abiogenesis expresses the origins.
Your line of thinking is called the "God of the gaps" fallacy.
@@hannahn4687
You didn't even understand your professor. And if they said that they were spewing nonsense, I too am an Evolutionary geneticist and physicist. Evolution proceeds even in the paradigm of abiogenesis. You're lying or utterly full of shit.
There's room for God? You're making room for God by putting him/her/it into the unknown which is for all intents and purposes infinite. So, no matter how much we discover, there'll still be something to find out. Is that where you put God? Well, that's just convenient, isn't it? Haven't we already figured out that knowledge DOES come with time. What you're doing is putting a name on the unknown. And that's a silly excuse that stems from people's need to not offend others. Agnosticism is just that and scientists who still cling on this ever-shrinking idea of God, frankly, I could never take seriously. Religion has never been, isn't, and will NEVER been on equal footing with Science because religion doesn't exist without humans and our insecurities as far as purpose and death go, but science is just a language that we use as a tool to understanding anything, it's knowledge, and that exists even if there is no brain to process it.
MSP Redgrave Funnily enough, most people either give a name to the unknown, like you said, and call it God or they give a name to the known and call it God. "God is just the definition of nature and all of its laws and all of its processes."
HOLyP | Gaming Yeah, the former we call agnostics, the latter we call zealots. It's like, on a scale from 1(agnostic) and 10(zealot), how delusional are you?
MSP Redgrave Condescension is not a way to "improve" society or convince anyone to consider your point.
I'm an atheist, but I think this new generation of what I call "internet atheists" is more outspoken and annoying than the Christians they hate.
Joey Treading lightly is a disservice to everyone. And I don't hate Christians.
Joey Feel free to think that. Considering the sheer amount of unfiltered condescension and disrespect atheists have had and still have to endure, I am not surprised that a lot of them are picking up the guns that have been used against them for so long.
I'm an evangelical Christian with a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies, so I obviously believe in God. There are several reasons why I do, but for me the most convincing element cannot be answered by Science. And I'm not one saying that Science is the bane of Religion's existence. I also believe in molecules-to-man Evolution, and that Science and faith can and do coexist quite harmoniously.
The questions that I am talking about are metaphysical questions: Why are we here? Why do we have emotions? Why do we practice virtues like selflessness, charity, love, peacefulness, and more? If we exist only by chance, then we are also sustained only by chance. But we choose to go against the flow of natural selection and help each other to thrive and flourish. Faith answers these questions, and the existence of a God for there to be faith about answers these questions.
+Graham McCarthy Hi Graham
+Graham McCarthy "Why are we here? Why do we have emotions? Why do we practice virtues like selflessness, charity, love, peacefulness, and more? If we exist only by chance, then we are also sustained only by chance."
I stopped reading after that.
+Kyler Parson Then you, sir, have a tiny mind and/or are unwilling or uncomfortable thinking about things you do not yet understand. How sad.
Lots of things answer those questions. Just because god fits the bill (he always will) doesn't make it true.
+Graham McCarthy
"Why are we here? Why do we have emotions? Why do we practice virtues like selflessness, charity, love, peacefulness, and more?"
I wouldn't necessarily call these "metaphysical" questions, but rather "philosophical", and while science may not have concrete, satisfying answers, it can certainly shed light on them without invoking the supernatural.
"Why are we here?"
This one can be interpreted multiple ways, but IME it usually means "Why does humankind exist?" Science answers this one as easily as for any other species on Earth: we fought our way into an ecological niche and haven't been forced out of it yet.
The other interpretations that come to mind involve being more specific about "we" and/or "here":
"Why are _we_ (you and I) here?" In a word: chance. The semi-random process that mixed our respective parents' genes together just happened to spit out the combinations that made us, then the arbitrary social situations we've lived through shaped our personalities into what they are today. A series of unique-yet-mundane events.
"Why are we _here_ (on _this_ planet, in _this_ orbit, around _this_ star)?" Because the condition necessary for our existence would've been wrong somewhere else, thus we _couldn't_ be there. If the planet _hadn't_ been suitable for our sort of life, we wouldn't have evolved here to be able to ask the question.
"Why do we have emotions?"
I'll assume you've got a basic familiarity with neurochemistry, so you know that emotions are caused by chemical changes in the brain. And these changes obviously affect behavior, and are often triggered by external stimuli. Apparently, organisms that have these sorts of complex input-response loops tend to be more effective at surviving and reproducing, and so the trait is selected for over time.
If you mean "Why do we _experience_ emotions?", then what you should ask first is "Why to we experience _anything_?" or rather "Why are we _conscious_ and/or _sentient_?" I must concede that science as yet has no answer for these questions yet, but I fail to see the justification for replacing "we don't know" with "god".
"Why do we practice virtues like selflessness, charity, love, peacefulness, and more?"
Selflessness and charity have been observed in non-human animals to varying extents. Numerous examples show that creatures tend to survive better when they work together. Even bacteria form mutually-beneficial colonies. As more complex minds emerge from more complex brains, the drives to cooperate also become more complex and nuanced. I'd include love here too, as it's yet another way to encourage social ties and the cooperation that comes with it.
Not really sure what you mean by "peacefulness" in this context, so I've got no response to that one.
Idk why this has so many downvotes. Everything Trace said was unbiased and logical. I'm an atheist myself, but I'm starting to think all those downvotes are from militant atheists that don't want to have an open mind.
Actually, most of us regardless of which country we're from were at one point, personally for me in middle school, indoctrinated into the theory of evolution and had it shoved down our throats as fact by our science teachers. Anyone who dared to disagree with or raise any notion that the THEORY of evolution is so absurdly improbably (and therefore impossible) was given a failing grade. The militant atheists that hold every principle in the THEORY of evolution as fact are the same ones that refuse to think for themselves and instead accept without critical thinking the THEORY of evolution told to them by their 7th grade science teachers.
Education but a theory is a comprehensive explanation of an aspect of nature that is supported by vast body of evidence.
Being supported by evidence doesn't mean its the ultimate truth. Theories can get superseded like the progression of atomic theory or how bigbang falsified the steady state theory. Thus if you're a die hard believer of theories, then you're no different than this close minded religious people. The key here is being open minded.
Maze Akaikami Sounds like wild speculation.
Maze Akaikami Nobody "lacks intellect". Some people choose stupidity for the sake of their own pride and arrogance. This doesn't only apply for ideological beliefs, but even pure hate such as racial supremacy.

@@edwardshowden5511 I had already edited this mistake, but it is quite usual as I am spanish and the translator usually fails in that cases. Nevertheless, taking into account your point, if we consider the definition of God as creator of the universe, it is a need that he was timeless and inmaterial, as the universe obeys physical and material laws. It is quite simple to understand and it is simple philosophy.

Isaac Yoder I agree with his approach. I also am Christian. I strongly believe that using science to prove the existence of God is like using your eyes to hear with. I might argue that science has disproven the absence of God.... Michio Kaku has recently stated that the big bang is implausible due to perfect harmony of matter/antimatter. An imbalance would provide evidence for big bang and growing universe but instead they found perfect harmony.
I Believe in God-
because the perfection in the randomness of everything around us forces our mind to acknowledge the presence under whose watch everything happened so perfectly..
I Agree Entirely!
but maybe the universe evolves and adapts too. there are literal quadrillions of planets (1,000,000,000,000,000) so why cant ONE of them be perfect?
Well I really don't.
which one?
Perfection won't come until the "new earth" and new heavens, etc. However, that said, I follow Christianity, and yet, I see that there is absolutely NO evidence for God. It is entirely a belief system. But that's ok, I also believe that eventually, and perhaps soon, there WILL be evidence.
I believe in God 100%...
Are you asking in order to find out more about the Creator of heaven and earth that I love or to start an internet argument?

+Haidar Ramzy Subagyo I checked and the data from that particular study does not include the most dangerous communist countries with no official religion. Perhaps if data could have been collected from those countries, the percentage would have been smaller or larger. Also, this study was conducted in 2002, and I assume the number has gone up since then (because of the increasing number of atheists in the USA and every single other first world nation). Note that this number is only the percentage of atheists. If you count ALL nonreligious people, the number is roughly 36% according to a 2009 study by Cambridge University.
+Emmet McGeown I'm going to go on a limb and say you are being sarcastic? Because if so I totally agree.
+Da CHickmOn Yeah I'm being sarcastic.
+Sydney Jones The unaffiliated take up 16.3% of the worlds population according to a 2012 Pew Research Study.
i think its worth noting that a lot of the scientists that that do believe in god, believe that god is more of an essence or ultimate fundamental force that caused creation. Not a sentient being conscious of the consequences of it's actions.
+jeffevens13 While this was similar to the opinion of Charles Darwin it is not true of a lot of scientific believers.
Many scientists think god has manipulated the universe using science to reach his/her/its goals. This requires a very complex discussion on predestination that very few people understand due to what can often look like contradictions, but are obviously not if thought through logically.
Scientists who think a god is not sentient are not usually god believers, they just think there is a force yet undiscovered by science. A god by definition is also a person.
+Joel Reid perfect response.
+Joel Reid god in Islam is not a person or a thing and Charles Darwin's work is without real proofs only believes
B15 Gc
Firstly: The god of Islam is not a human, but he is a "person" in the reality that he makes decisions and has a personality. If he were not a perosn then he would be easily manipulated... which according to Islam would be blasphemy.
So he is a person becasue he has a personality and is capable of making decisions (although on a vaster scale than a human).
Likewise all gods ever conceived by humans are persons as well... but not necessarily human.
Secondly: Darwin's theory of natural selection had no proofs, this is true. i never said he had proofs. i was pointing out that Darwin had a belief in a supernatural entity, although not necassarily the Christian one.
Natural selection now has plenty of proof now that we have tested it, although none of that was during Darwin's life, and the theory no longer matches Darwin's theory exactly.

To be honest I really hate it when Atheists quote directly whatever the Bible or the Quran says and immediately interpret them in whatever views they have on the verses of the Quran. You are not a person who practices the religion, nor are you a person who fully learns about the religion. Quoting with the wrong context will also bring any scientific fact wrong. For example if a person who is not an expert in Science, suddenly reads that "Humans are closely related to apes" or "Humans are 50% bananas", of course he/she would think that what the scientific fact is saying is bogus and wrong. He/she would at least need to hear the explanation coming from the scholars on what exactly does it mean by those two statements? In all fairness to people with religion, treat them the same way you want to treat any other Atheists and listen to what they want to say about the religion. If YOUR interpretation of THEIR religion is wrong, then accept it. If from the start you have a wrong interpretation of the religion because you are ignorant in trying to understand what exactly do their holy book means in each particular verses, then you are no better than ignorant extremists who interpret the holy books because of your lack of knowledge or just because you want to use it for your own benefit.
Which interpretation do we choose to accept, though? Each holy book has so many interpretations and sects that, to the non-believer, it's impossible to choose a representative one.
Greg Knight Honestly yes, I concede that there are a lot sects for religions sadly. But it is unfair that if an Atheist thinks that "there are just too many I should make my own interpretation". You're not getting the correct idea of the religion, and immediately you argue on the wrong basis. One way of understanding a religion properly is of course to look at the scholars in a religion. To know which scholar is highly respected in a religion is really not that hard. And of course the scholars' views on different issues might be different, but the views on the fundamentals of the religion would most likely be the same. And I say this in all honesty, for example for Islam, before you go and try to understand or research on your own the verses in the Quran about wife beatings being permissable in Islam (just an example since non-believers like to discuss this so much) you should learn the basics of Islam first. You can't understand Physics or Chemistry without first learning the basics of Science can you?
+luffy7537 I agree with you that faith positions should not be misrepresented. However, there are diminishing returns on studying any religion sufficiently to argue the religion on its own terms, simply because the foundational statement - that there is a higher power - is indefensible. The rest that follows is just human interpretation, and I don't need a god for that.
Greg Knight Hmm that is only fair if you don't try to argue with a person who has a religion, just keeping your belief to yourself and not spread your discontent about other people's beliefs. It is not right if you try to argue with a person because you have your own misinterpretation of their religion.
+luffy7537 Happy not to discuss religion as long as the religious keep their views to themselves as well. Unfortunately, too many religious people seem to think that everyone should believe as they do, and try by force or law to impose their beliefs on others. In the face of that, what choice do we have but to respond?
“I don’t know” is a perfectly fine answer to many of his questions.
Scientifically spoken it's not an answer to the question (unless the question was actually asking about whether you know or not) , yet in many cases it's the best possible reply a human being can provide. Since what it actually means then is " you are not getting an answer to your question, but I happen to have a good reason for not providing you with what you ask for, which is: I don't happen to poses what you are asking for, so I cannot give it to you no matter how much I would like to'. It's just that "I don't know" is so much quicker and most people are able to understand the meaning.
@@revan552 Religion is all about having faith. To many, they really dont know and the story of the Bible reinforces this idea that we dont have to know and we shouldn't have to know. Knowledge gives us power and feeling of control and knowing everything would make us all knowing which we cant be, so yk just gotta have faith. If you dont thats fine but dont rip on religious people for having faith in their lives.
@@revan552 You can pretend to hold yourself to a higher regard thinking you are more knowledgeable when in actuality it is your mindset that is most idiotic. Yes the facts are we are on this sphere most likely by random chance and with no reason. But people can live out their lives the way they want to, and in the end everybody believes in something so y tf do u care so much 😂
@@revan552 Well you've just proven to me how stupid and arrogant you are in that small convoluted ramble of yours. Almost as if you can't draw parallels with religion and ideologies 🤔. The fact of the matter is religion is not inherently evil. In fact it has had a net positive in our world drawing people to better morals and being used a primitive framework for laws. You choose to see the worst in religion by looking towards only the worst members of religion. I think you'll find 90% of the worlds evils to be done by atheists 😁.
This is true but for me and a lot of people that's a depressing answer to these questions. I'd much rather have a religious belief and be content than be depressed and my answer just being I don't know to why I exist.

Let there be light = big bang?
Victor Morales Okay sure
Victor Morales
I mean you can say, "Let there be light = big bang", but you're ignoring the verses before and after it.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.And there was evening and there was morning, the first day."
If "let there be light" is the big bang, this lets break down the verses.
Heavens and the earth were created.
The earth was empty, but there was water.
Big bang occurs
So what you're saying is
1. Universe and earth with water on it
2. Big Bang
I don't think that's how it works.
+cq33xx no. That is simply wrong.
No because it says the earth was already formed and there was already water on the planet... Water not ice...
And no sun or moon
My aunt and uncle are scientists, they're professors and work for WHO, and they are really religious. They said bible has so many loopholes but so does science. The deeper you dig into something, the more you find unexplainable things. The key is to open your mind because everything's possible we just haven't found the truth yet.

Wish you a nice day, great video!
I'm Catholic. But I acknowledge the fact that God cannot be 100% proven. But God cannot be 100% disproven. I believe that there are reasons to believe. Think of it this way, if there is no God, there is no atheist, no Christian , no good, no evil. Everything just is... I just want fellow believers in God to be more intelligent. Don't just say "There is a God because I can feel it" that's very stupid. Use the mind that God gave you properly. I also pray and hope that atheists take into consideration the existence of God.
Almost all atheists were religious. They did think DEEPLY of a higher being existed and they were probably bullied when others found out they were nonreligious. I am very lucky my mom isn't very religious otherwise she would disown me or hate me for being nonreligious. Also I have one question for you. Who created God?

minecrafter Then why can god poof out of no where
there are two gods, one that created us and the other that we have created.
That is the way the atheistic god was created.
Actually, there are likely FOUR classes of non-omniscient, non omnipotent Gods:

But but but.... we created the god that created us.

>there are two gods, one that created us and the other that we have created.
And there is not a single proof of existence of either.
I always believed in God but when my mother died, I learned that there was a difference between what a person believes and what they know. I wanted to KNOW what had become of my mother. I struggled with that uncertainty for a few years and questioned my beliefs until I just accepted that I believe but I don't know and even if there is a God and an afterlife, I don't know anything about what that would be like. I appreciate this open discussion.
That's faith over there.
You can find the answers of your questions from the Islam so please try to search more about Islam and I ask Allah to guide you with the right path
I went into this video thinking that it was going to downgrade God in some way but I was pleasantly surprised that you were open minded and logical. I really respect that.
I grew up agnostic/athiest without any spiritual guidance or influence. I have always felt things that can't be explained by factual science. after searching for answers in many other areas, I actually read the Bible a few times and started understanding it and became a Christian. later I started feeling almost chlostrophobic trying to explain everything in one way after always having an open mind...now I don't know what to think again...

well then you're basically an atheist, you only ascribe to the "agnostic" moniker simply because it sounds less harsh.
I started firmly believing in God when I found the statistical definition of "entropy" quite different from qualitative definition, infact the whole thing seems like makeshift and excuse, kinda believing in common sense rather than what can happen beyond imagination or common sense. I guess we should dissolve our egos, our identities in front of the divine entity through which we function. Despite the entropy, everything happens so perfectly amidst the distortion.
Could you explain this to someone who doesn’t understand the context of those definitions? I tried googling it but couldn’t find something that helped me fully understand and I’m very curious what you mean. Could you elaborate a little for someone w/less knowledge 😂
People who claim religious people can't be scientific are so sad.
There's no reason you can't have faith.
Lots of scientists, including many mentioned here, see the universe's complexity as proof (including Einstein, who was essentially a practical-atheist, but not an actual atheist).
I like how he hit on the point that you can't disprove OR prove God's existence, & how we can't prove real origins, yet he's not claiming any creation story.
I think once the Bible starts into dialogue, it's meant to be literal, but up to that point, I really don't know.

I was looking for a video on photons and happened upon your channel. Glad I found it! Thank you for making this video.
One day in 1st grade at school some children asked me why I would go home on my own? Why my mother didn't come to pick me up? I felt vulnerable and different for not having a mother so I started lying, saying my mother was working and couldn't come to pick me up. It was the first time I started thinking of a mother and my fantasy went wild. One day I would say she was a hairdresser, one day a lawyer... I'm not sure how long it went on, but one day still in first grade, I was sitting on a rock when a male-loving voice was speaking clearly in my mind saying. " you are starting to believe in a mother who does not exist" "lying brings you away from your reality" " speak the truth, live in the truth". Although I was only 6 years old every cell in my body KNEW I had heard the PURE truth and agreed to that information and decided I would only speak the truth, I know that in that moment my life took a turn for the better. Thank you, God.
My problem with this is why does it have to be the Christian/Jewish/Islamic God?
***** very good point!
***** Yeah I think that most people don't even understand what I believe. By the way I believe in many new age ideas.
+Jeff - Agreed. I don't necessarily disbelieve in God, but as soon as I hear people describing him/her/it, my gag reflex usually starts to kick in. In Tibetan Buddhism there is an expression that sort of equates to god, *tongpa nyi*. It translates roughly as "inconceivable possibility" or "the unlimited capacity for things to arise, change, and disappear." It's the correlate of Zen's "void" and western Buddhists' "emptiness." Is that the same as "god"? I don't know, as everyone seems to have a different meaning for the word. I've been surprised by what some believers say about their concept of god when I've asked then, and because of this I have come to the conclusion that it's arrogant to be atheist, as it suggests that the atheist has omniscience as to all variations of subjective meaning of the word.
+Jeff I hope I would not end up having long discussion on some long controversial topics about Islam.
I am a Muslim. And according to my faith and Quran, the God of every religion is not different. According to Quran, the God, whether it be Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism or some other religion: God is only one and absolute. But the problem arises when some specific "follower" of a religion attribute something to God which God cannot have (which, according to me,in many cases goes even against there own religious text). For example: it doesn't make sense for God to have a son and to say that God has a begotten son doesn't make sense, as God is so much amazing that it is beyond the capability of limited human mind to even understand God or to say that God has some picture of shape of idol, even that doesn't make sense for me as human limited mind cannot picturize Him. So according to my faith, God is "One" and "Absolute" and even in our religious text it says the same that one can call him with any name, "Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." (Quran 17 : 110)
And also as for him being beyond the capability of human mind in Quran it is said, "Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.(Quran 112 : 1-4)
So according to us as soon as Human try to picturize God with his mind, then he is not God as the human could imagine it. Even the word "He" cannot be used for God. As he is beyond any gender. But this "He" problem for God is more because of translation into English. When read or recited in Arabic, even this gender problem is resolved in arabic language.
Note: I didn't mean to start any debate. I just wanted to clear my point of view. But yeah I can explain further if someone wants to question anything in respectful way :)
Arslan Ali The usage of masculine pronouns to refer to God has always bothered me. Don't you think it has a major impact on the way people think about it? When we refer to God as "He" and "Him" we are inadvertently assigning gender to the Unknowable, the Absolute. I understand that cultural tradition leads to usage of the pronoun but in all such cultures there is extreme gender bias in which women are subjugated and males have more authority.
Just can't stand the "we don't know, must be God" argument.
Ala God of the gaps...
Me too !!!!
Purpose and meaning are human constructs hence the universe doesn't need to operate in regards to them.
This makes the very question of purpose and meaning invalid.
***** Occam's Razor :)
***** How is purpose and meaning in anyway necessary for the universe to exist?
***** Yes I'm sure Richard Dawkins would agree with you as would many other biologists
You clearly have no understanding of evolution for stating that.
"Life" or organic tissue with a stimulus and response pattern is not the miracle, because it is just a bag of carbon and water molecules moving around with electrical impulses. The fact those things witness their own actions is the miracle. It is self-awareness that is the miracle.
Michael Hurwitz I think there is some of free will / self will and mathematical law that we have to obey. It would be hard for me to explain my reason right now, it would take a books worth of righting.
+Alexander Higgins Electrical impulses? What about sponges?
Andrew Smith What about sponges? I am not a biologist so I do not know to much about them.
+Alexander Higgins Neither am I a biologist, however, i do know sponges have no nervous system. they cannot feel pain or be killed by electrocution (as far as electricity is concered, the electrons could technically blow it up or melt it)
+Andrew Smith I am not sure where to go with your comment. If a sponge witnesses its actions or anything, than that is a miracle; if not, than the sponges meaning is just biological matter and utility to human beings. As far as a central nervous system, it can account for a complex stimulus and response pattern, but that complex stimulus and response pattern is not entirely descriptive of consciousness. This is just my opinion. Also, I really am not in the mood right now to find out if I would remain conscious if I were dead or alive without a central nervous system.
"It's not up to me to decide for you if God exists or doesn't exist, and vice versa"... Bravo my man.

Yassir Douslimi Actually the claims are made by the theists that a god exist. This needs its own evidence before the concept can even have value. The burden of proof is on you there.

But yes to varify i would need to google the objections against it. I heared the claims and objections before but i cant remember the details.
Well ponys dont fly.. they dont have wings...not a single specimin has ever been seen or witnessed that did.

Because if you look carefully. No other religion explains science as well as Christianity. It may not use scientific vocabulary (since it didn't exist at the time) but you have to read really carefully to actually notice that Christianity is actually scientific and mentions (not fully explain) many of the scientific process that occurred on our universe.

Walking in faith and embracing grace to love my Lord God and love my neighbor is the challenge in my life. I have faith in God because I have peace that transcends all understanding, strength in my doubt, and some of my prayers that are answered and some are yet unfulfilled. I don't know why bad things happen beyond the fact that humans can choose to do destructive things with their free will and this Earth is wild and unyielding. Yet I still trust God. Science and Religion don't conflict! The conflict arises between 3 types of people: 1. Those who don't know God 2. Those who don't understand the scientific method 3. Those who comprehend neither God nor Science. I can understand why people can question the existence of a loving God, but beyond the chemicals and hormones, there is a reason we all desire to love and be loved.

+Henri-Ansel Vallee whoah, hold up there man. If you're saying those words, you don't look at context of verses or understand the connected threaded message of the bible. The bible is a cultural document, not a law document. Parts of that book _are_ cultural law for a certain people at a certain time. God didn't say to himself "Ok I need to fix up the culture of these people, then we can proceed..." No he comes as he is to a person or people as they are. None of that stuff you said is valid because, even to a Christian, the Bible is not Law. No, the law is written on the heart of the Christian, anyone who beats anyone with a Bible for any reason doesn't get it. And if you believe that makes me or anyone a bad Christian, well I don't much care about your belief...
I do look at the context of the verses and understand the entire thread of The Bible. There is nothing special that you understand that I don't. I have read the entire book through at face value, and I don't agree with it. Sorry to tell you this, but there is no man made God that exists. Your conscience, your interpretation of The Bible is just that. There are people who claim to be part of the same faith who believe differently than you do with the same level of conviction. So what makes your faith correct? There are so many things in the history of the world to learn about. For me it is a waste of time to read any religious material. At the same time, if praying four times a day brings you to a place spiritually, great. But don't think that your God is better than someone else's.
This is how I see it.
Science is there to show us how incredibly amazing God is through the elegance and complexity of what He has created but His character and personality are unknowable through Science and that is where the Bible comes in.
The bible is there to confirm and explain what occurs to us instinctively, that there is indeed a God. The bible is there to provide an explanation for what we cannot possibly begin to understand through our scientific pursuits.

at the 7:00 minute mark, he mentions a day to God versus a day to Man. Science by definition means "the accumulation of knowledge." If knowledge lacks truth then how complete is that knowledge?

The farther you get from a gravitational source, the slower time is affected by that source. An extraterrestrial being of such technological ability would only need to travel far enough away from Earth in order to monitor it and us more efficiently.
If this same God created us in His image and His likeness then He must clearly resemble the image He has given us. A copy of an original may be a lesser quality, but it still resembles that which it is derived from; i.e. the source code/material.
They call this the god of the gaps. Sure there are holes in our knowledge. But just because we don't have the answers yet, that is not evidence that god exists. And I really would like to know where you got these ideas about time and how it works.
that actually does not fit into the "God of the gaps" theory. in the paradox described here is a situation where in some odd turn of events a primitive civilization knew the truth in regards to quantum mechanics and the gravitational effect on time 2000 years before science ever grasped or proved the concept as a reality. so it wasn't that man inserted God till science figured out what the truth was. it was that man had the truth given from God as the Bible would attest 2 millennia before that question was even quantifiable and then science confirmed that God-given truth later. it would be one thing if they just said we don't know so it must be God but the reality was that they did know and that knowledge, according to the Bible, came from God, then later it was confirmed to be correct. a beautiful example of God and science being in Harmony even spanning 2 thousand years before that harmony could be proved.

Also, the Orthodox didn't just "break away", it was the bishop of Rome who thought he was more important than he was in reality.
False doctrines when "laid besides the word of God". Oh yeah, because a theologician, monk and spiritual father has no more authority in interpreting the Bible than the John Doe who converted yesterday to "Evangelican Christianism" or some other BS. The word of God is not a novel ! It is not a technical manual ! IT has to be interpreted by people who know what they are talking about. But of course, it is always confortable to criticise those who know and who have a particular authority.
Blindly criticizing and mentioning Satan will not make you edgy.
Martial Kintu that's the thing Religion is man made therefore it's not what GOD wants. He wants us to love and cheerish him practically every day not just sunday or whenever day, and he wants us to ENJOY the time we have with him thats why he gave us a spirit, not to just go to church every Sunday thinking, if I don't go to church i will go to hell but actually ENJOYING the precious time we have with him.the bible states GOD wants his people to stay together in oneness. but sadly denominations and religion is bringing us apart. Man is trying to change Christianity and add their own beliefs instead of reading the bible (GOD'S WORD). For example, the actual bible in Hebrew translated to English says Jesus is GOD and that they aren't two different beings that they are Triune (GOD as The son Jesus and the holy spirit) but people like the Jehovah's witnesses CHANGED the bible GOD'S OWN WORD and added their own beliefs saying GOD and Jesus are two different people, in their humanity they are good people but spiritually need to be taught the actual word of GOD. GOD can and will change your life all you have to do is contact him, ask for forgiveness of sins, recognize that we are ALL sinners because of Adam and eves decision to go against GOD... and you will be saved do this practically and you will live a good Christian life. Jesus is coming soon do not get sucked in by the things of this world.

Who is the anime guy from your avatar?
Let me tell you who you are!
You're a potato. That's what you are.
did someone just say potatoe
showing your age mr quail lol unless the mispeling was an error
I am an atheist myself and for me, this video was AWESOME. You are one of these few, rare people, who are open-minded, unbiased and respectful when it comes to religion topic. I really enjoyed watching the video ^^
God is real!
Amen
You're ignoring the fact that people then use these beliefs in order to force their own values onto other people.
the only person that forces their religious opinion is the atheist.
I can't agree with you but that's why theirs a comments box, peace
I don't mean that all religious people do this, I just mean that some do, which discredits the idea that it's harmless and can be ignored.
Gage Baumgard atheism does this too. That's a human trait, not a religious trait.
trace is amazing at being non biased in these videos. He's such a great host! :)
amazing??? look up the word in a dictionary hunny buns. you need to learn something.
First, thanks for the unbiased video presentation sir, I believe in Jesus coz He takes away the guiltiness of my sins when I pray to him, I receive some peace in my body. His teachings help me live a better life.
His words in the Bible gives pure comfort which no man on Earth can give I bet on it.
Thank you

Don't worry, keep sinning and Jesus will take away the "guiltyness" of your sins! LOL!!!

Our human thinking is linear. There is something fundamentally wrong with that. According to our brains, everything must have a beginning. In this way, our thinking is limited.
+AtleastITried This is a good theory.
+AtleastITried law of conservation and energy
How so? I have no problem conceptualising things without beginnings or causes.
Can Things exist out of over knowledge? e.g whats outside our cosmic bubble aka CMB.
Collectively Everything that is in our knowledge or outside of our knowledge do exist we can spend all of over lives proving it but its upto each individual.
My Theory : To me All is one and one is all.
Suppose theirs something else outside of the CMB or may be not will it going to effect my theory.

I like to think about gravity. I often get headaches thinking about black holes, but gravity is actually a very weak force, relatively speaking. A magnet small enough to fit in a pocket could easily have a stronger grip on a paper clip than the entire Earth's gravity. And as far as we can tell, gravity exists in the form it does simply for its own sake. That being said, gravity has literally been the force that put the universe together. Without gravity, life could not exist, not only as we know it, but probably in any form. And yet, it does, and we'll probably never know why. That's either an incredible coincidence, or something divine. Personally, I like to think the latter, but no one knows for sure.
Darth Bart I like the think the latter as well... Especially after reading Colossians 1:17 - He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

I agree that the universe is to complex to have formed by
Itself. For there to be a law there must be a law maker
It would be more probable for me to spill ink on paper
And form perfect words than for the universe to be
Accidental.
But also we still don’t know everything yet... so yes
I do agree With ya :)
That's a very weak reason, but believe as you will. Simply because we don't understand the universe, that does not mean we should default to believing in the divine.
fat
I agree
I personally believe in God, however I am also a scientist at heart in that I am fascinated by how our universe work, when I was in high school I went to a Christian school and my favorite class was physics and my teacher was a believer as well and the thing I learned to most from him is this: science is mans way of describing the works of gods hand, laws that he put in place are describe by observation. This has always given me comfort when I have discovered things that may go contrary to literal interpretation of the bible. 6000 yrs ago people only had a limited view of the world now we have a wider view however for every new thing we find it leads to more question and I feel like that just reinforces how limited our view is. In my personal life I have seen god move in ways that are downright impossible to others may seem as coincidence but it happens over and over again, applying observation to these this reaffirm my faith there is a god. If someone believes otherwise I believe they have a right to believe that because I have tried in my life to make sense of the things that have happened. That being said I feel there would be alot more harmony in this world if people viewed the world the way this video presents this subject if we seek understanding from each other we see ourselves in each other.
3:52 We have a picture of a black hole now 🙂
It's a personal choice. I believe because of how wonderful his creation is. There's nothing to lose in believing in God but if he is real then you'd lose everything for eternity.
+Fremy Gonzales Are you referring to an afterlife? If so, many religions make conflicting claims about the afterlife. How do you know you've got the right one?
well said. and youre hot.
*TRUE STORY*
A little girl asked Jesus Christ a question when He came to visit her, she said Lord why don't you just show everyone a sign in Heaven (sky) that you exist and maybe they will all believe but JESUS said, my daughter i gave 10 vivid signs to the then Pharaoh of Egypt which are the 10 plagues recorded in the Bible, yet King Pharaoh did not give his life to the Eternal God until his death.
The truth is this, even the Atheist knows there's a God but they keep hoping for the very day their wishes will come true because of the love they have for sin.
yolanda jerginson Yea call me whatever you like. I hope that one day you will accept GOD before it's too late.
yolanda jerginson ...too late for your soul to be saved. Why I'm I even answering you, do you even know you have a soul?
+ozijay3000.vs.Aliens Wait, how does your story relate to "atheists deny their knowledge of the existence of god" (or whatever it is youre trying to say) ? It seems like the moral of the story is "faith/belief cannot come as a result of miracles"In this case, the atheists would be right in denying miracles, tho for different reasons. in fact, even believers should be denying miracles, for belief based on supernatural events is belief that has too little grounding, and the ease of disappearing as soon as the miracle is gone.
***** Actually, the Bible says "God hardened the Pharaoh's heart", so in a way, he knew that it would never end smoothly.
This course of action actually explains a lot of events that ppl label (somewhat accurately) as "inconsistent" or "why the f would god do that?!"
*****"why would you follow evil" ?? sorry, i dont think i understand the context for that question.
At the moment, i was addresing your point of "if God couldnt persuade the pharoah, then he's not omniscient" with my counterpoint of "what if he knew that the pharoah would never be persuaded, but took 'persuasive' actions anyway?"
It's good to have a video that promotes people getting along, rather than one side trying to tear down the other.
Wow, people really get uncomfortable when someone says the word "God" and it's not followed by "damn it!".
Haters gona hate hate hate.
Nice video and a worthy attempt of being impartial to a very 'impassioned' subject.
The more I study science, the more I believe in God - Albert Einstein
@@polinachidaeva Agreed, there are plenty of points where Einstein explained that he used "god" as a metaphor in his writings and that ultimately, he did not believe in a creator god.
@@polinachidaeva Agreed that the quote is not something that Einstein said.
You can tell he is an athiest, but he is so unbiased. 😌 The total opposite of most people.
Anyone can be unbiased. It is just the person's character.
God is real.. I could feel his love 👍
how
why love have something to do with god,, why you trust something writen in the book, if you want believe in god make your own opionion and stop care what other people or books say. i think if he exist he just created some cells in ocean bilion years ago and stopped cared. or maybe he watched his work until he god pissed on dinosaurs and wipped them out, if he exist, which i dont think he is.
Robert Šafář why do atheists act like this? Jesus loves you, try to look into Christianity please.
@@robertsafar2908 what makes you think that God isn't real?
That delusion from being brainwashed.
I love this I learnt more about Christianity ✝️✝️🙏🏾 my Religion and science that I enjoy the e.g quantum physics now I see them not as enemies but as Gods Greatness this is my Belief! Now I leave you all with this “. “Love your enemies and pray for those who curse you!” -JESUS CHRIST 🙏🏾🙏🏾✝️✝️🕊🕊👍🏾👍🏾❤️💯
Amen🙏🤲✝️
Allahu akbar ✨
The title of this video is based on a false premise. It should be 'Why do so few scientists believe in god? ' The answer is because scientists respect evidence above all else.
This video is very honest and non bias. Finally someone just talk about science limitations.
I love science and God.
I've always stated these same things when ask about belief in God, for me the naturalist materialistic views just don't really answer all the questions. I've hypothesized that because God created the everything "he" is not subject to the same natural laws that we are; just as we humans are not bound by the limit of the digital "realm" that we created and thus "he" does not need a creator or origin, having no beginning or end. As creatures that have definite beginnings we can't wrap our heads around the idea that a being could simply exist without cause, however we're imposing the the limits of our own perspective on the the unknown reaches of existence and that is where I find God.
Hows this for a hypothesis for God, we all reside within his consciousness and we are merely the product of a thought process. It literally explains every question of why we can't see God, can communicate with God and why he is all powerful. Thats what theory I had, who gave it to me was God when I asked. You are right God is not bound to the materialistic laws of the world, exactly how we are not bound to them in our own imaginations as well. Seems we really were created within the image of God.
