    Why do you believe that? They're arguing against a straw man, _"can science explain everything?"_ which requires they ignore known limits which _science itself_ tells us about the limit of knowledge -- you know, like the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? That's a limit to knowledge: we can't know both the exact location and speed of a particle simultaneously. What's the sensible takeaway? Well science tries to step us closer to truth (the set of facts about reality) by relying on evidence (detections of reality), because evidence is our only reliable way of knowing anything. So the correct way of phrasing it isn't that science can know everything (we just saw it can't). The correct statement would be _science will allow us to know everything which can be known._ It's impossible for that to be untrue. By that I mean if you can show some new method science doesn't know which reliably indicates truth -- if you could do that then by definition science would expand to include that method as "evidence", because you'd have shown you were detecting reality accurately! Note the focus of theist conversations around this question is *NEVER* them proving they (a) have some alternative demonstrably-reliable method of knowing things science doesn't know and (b) proving their ideas using that alternate method. That's what tells us it's snake oil they're selling you.

    These are two of my favourite Christ following scientists. Both brilliant people. In my opinion we, humans, can only become complete at the moment we step into a holy union with the one true God. To any young person doubting God, I can tell you one thing after having walked 40 years around looking into everything else but the word of God..There is nothing like Him. Nothing compares, and I've literally looked everywhere from Egypt to Nepal..From scientism to gnosticism, but nothing..No buddha, no shiva..nothing comes close to God of the bible. God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said: 'If you have seen Me you have seen the Father'. I can honestly say that I have seen God and it was His mercy alone which gave me true life, life unlike anything I have known before. And time upon time I see others testifying of this same life giving spirit of the one and only true God of the bible. How I wish I hadn't wasted so much time with all that other nonsense, which is why I am writing this comment to younger people. So spare yourself the time and just start with Lord Christ and the living word of God.

The Truth be told, any Bible expositor, no matter his highly acclaimed scholastic credentials, who at this elderly stage of their "Christian walk"are still avowed infernalists, neither know The Scripture of Truth, nor the Power of The Holy Trinity to be The SAVIOUR OF the world. It one does not yet Know Christ Jesus as the Light of the world, the Way, the Truth and The Life Who hath abolished sin, guilt, condemnation, death, hell-fire and the grave, then they don't Know Him and He doesn't know them. But they SHALL for every knee Will bow and every tongue confess That JESUS Christ is The Lord of Life!!! Amen.

    In all fairness to the first question that Dr. Tour answered, scientists do say, "We don't know." The problem is they have to add an addendum to that which is to say, "We don't know, but we do know it wasn't God." But the reality is that the more scientific discoveries we make, the more evidence piles up in favor of the conclusion that an intelligent designer is necessary to make sense of it all. God exists, science proves it.

Exodus 20:11 (KJV) Says "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it." Exodus 31:17b "for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed." Sounds like normal days to me. Thanks

    It says God rested on the 7th day. But for the sabbath it does not say evening and morning and declare the 'day' ended. So do we become too ridged in defining 'day' in all cases as 24 hours?

    Yes, I love hearing about their love for Jesus but Lennox sidesteps the creation story. It was undoubtedly 6 literal days and he talks about interpreting Genesis wrong but not the deep timers interpreting anything wrong or their assumptions.

    Problem with that narrative is humanity trying to fit the supernatural God on human terms based on human experience and knowledge. Try to understand this - 1. Modern scientific cosmology and astrophysics concluded that Space, Time and Matter did not exist before the Big Bang 130 billion years ago. 2. Stephen Hawking, after failing to disprove singularity (ie the entire Universe was created out of nothing and before the Big Bang, there existed nothing), was forced to conclude that the initial Power that caused the Big Bang must have existed outside the universe we know. Because He was a committed Atheist, he proposed the idea of a “multiverse” instead of the most obvious - God. 3. When God created the heavens and the earth, He also created Time, Space and Matter. 4. God exists in Heaven (not the heavens) outside Space, Time and Matter. Space, Time and Matter - especially Time - does not limit God so that a Thousand years is like a day to God and a day is like a thousand years. The past, the present and the future is nothing to God so He is omniscient - He sees and knows everything before it happens, when it happens and after it happens. Space does not limit God so that He is everywhere at the same time all the time - His Omnipresence. Matter does not limit God so He can command the elements, multiply bread and fish, make Wine out of water, cause oil to flow from a jug without ending, raise the dead, heal the sick... Become a human being to enter the world He created... That is Jesus Christ, the Lamb slain from the creation of the world. Revelation 13:8 So what kind of day are we talking about. Being inspired by the Holy Spirit, the ancients came up with the Genesis narrative and Moses out down on paper. For God unlimited by the constraints of time, a day is not what His created universe understand it to be and certainly not what the earthly human know it to be. Therefore to take the creation story at literal face value would be a mistake because while it is possible for God to create everything in 7 Earth days, what He chose to do remains a mystery.

    In all due respect to these men of science and religion. Science will never be a reliable avenue or path to the Knowledge of the Truth. We, the truly Called of GOD, Walk by Faith not by sight, ( scientific observation or theory) for the things that scientists think they see are temporal and therefore illusory. The Things We can't see with the body's eyes 👀 are ETERNAL and therefore Real. The eyes of flesh see only the outer form and no form endures. The Eye 👁️ of Faith Sees the Substance and Evidence of Spiritual Reality, Light, Life, Liberty, Love, Joy and Peace Everlasting! However there will be no faith or science in the Glory of Heaven, but only the Wondrous Awareness of the Oneness of Eternal and Infinite Being!

    At 2:25:30, I think, why scientists can't readily admit that they don't know, is related to the education system and pride. Giving, having, and/or knowing the answer, is rewarded and promoted, where not having the answer is ridiculed, disrespected or at the least is an embarrassment. It is easier to give an answer that provides an illusion of knowledge, especially when it's theoretical yet devoid proof.

    If the King James Translation authors had not failed to Capitalize the pronouns of Deity in their otherwise faultless Translation, They would have written the "after His Kind" and Their Kind and Us and Our Image and Likeness phrased in Genesis One in the Upper Case, and that would have dramatically revolutionized the interpretation of The True Creation! His and Their Kind , referring to GOD and or The Holy Trinity and the plural Us and Our of verse 26 are Spirits. So the only Things He or They could have possibly created would have been Eternal Spirit Beings, not transitory, corruptible perishable mortal physical bodies of flesh, blood and bone! And how can THAT Which and They Whom That had Always Been, have "a beginning"? If one tries to make reasonable, sane sense of Genesis as Moses supposedly wrote it, he will be as confused as a termite in a yoyo! LOL 😂😆

    There's a verse in Quran (Islam) stating why God stopped sending materialistic miracles (as known by earlier ages). This does not mean that miracles or signs have stopped, but people cannot detect with their hearts and minds because of normalization of habits. Moving a hand is a miracle for instance. Quoting one verse from Quran: And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

    What's amazing about Christianity is that it's based on a historical event. The accounts of the Quran, of Buddha and other religions (whose earliest writings come several hundred years after any witnesses would've died) could be told relative to any time or place and function the same. Not so with Christ. If the resurrection didn't happen, we Christians are fools to be pitied over anyone else. Yet as Lennox pointed out, the entire field of scholarship on the Bible agrees to several key facts as a matter of historical record based on the attestation of the scriptures, even the atheist scholars agree: Jesus lived. He died on a cross. He was buried. He left behind an empty tomb. Most of them agree there's also enough evidence in the gospels that his disciples and over five hundred eye witnesses believed to have seen the risen Christ. All but one of the apostles willingly faced brutal executions, rather than recanting their testimony that they had personally seen the risen Jesus.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation... until they both made this saying true: "The Bible isn't a science textbook, but many treat science textbooks as if they're the Bible." Never does the Bible depict earth as evolving, moving, spinning, orbiting, or ball-like, in any context or genre. When Moses wrote "evening and morning, day ___", he couldn't have been any clearer that he was talking about normal days, not long ages. Even the 4th Commandment about the Sabbath day is based on creation week. And there was no sun for earth to orbit the first few days So neither earth age or earth construction match mainstream "science". Gen. 1 is historical narrative, and the burden of proof that these are just figures of speech lies with old- and ball-earth proponents. If we reject the Bible's depictions of earth shape and age, we must also reject its miracles--- including the Resurrection--- since they too clash with "scientific fact".

    Answers in Genesis explains this as well as any ministry of Scientists who believe the Bible. It's very disappointing how many great people , academically speaking, have been duped by the enemy in this area. If adopted to logical thinking....it destroys not only Genesis 1-11....but in fact the whole Bible and of course the Gospel. If Sin and death did not come through one man as the Bible clearly claims...then Sin does not exist and therefore no saviour of mankind is required or could even be conceived of. This is very dangerous theory.
