Hebrews 4:12 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

    I can hear the Atheists already clicking away to say “Ah-ha! There is a third! He committed suicide!” to the example given without ever thinking it through first. If the victim died by suicide, then it means someone intended for the guy to die, then actively made it happen-the killer would simply be himself, and not someone else, meaning: only two options still exist! Natural causes, or killed by a person. So much for those ironically proving your point by trying to break it.

    Ignorance may be a valid concept in the field of science but this narrow field does not encapsulate all of our reality. Evolution (as poor as it is) is the best naturalistic hypothesis, all the others fall so short they aren’t even worth consideration. If there were a better atheistic explanation someone should have fabricated it already. However the Devine explanation is the best and most coherent explanation given not just the scientific evidence and observations but those outside the field of science. All of reality points to God being the creator and sustainer of the universe.

    The title of the video and the descriptive paragraph above explicitly announce the" Only Two Possible Explanations for the Universe," but never once does the speaker even mention the word "universe" in the video. I even copied the entire transcript and pasted it into a text document and did a word search to make sure I had not missed it. Nope, not one mention. Instead all he did was expound on the mutually exclusive explanations for the origin of humans. I agree with AiG on the special creation of man by the God of the Bible, but why didn't someone at AiG apply a little critical thinking when they decided on the title of the video? This reminds me of the time when a YEC speaker came to my church and handed out brochures for a summer camp to teach science and creation. Right on the front of the brochure was written: "Camp Infinity" and on the same side: "Space is limited, register soon." It's not just these careless gaffs, but the lack of critical thinking by YECs in general that turns people off.

    The law of excluded middle only applies to logical propositions - things that must be either true or false. For example, either the God of the Bible exists or he doesn't. He can't half exist, or only exist on Tuesdays. It doesn't apply to choices, that would be ridiculous. There is vanilla icecream and strawberry icecream, therefore by the law of excluded middle there cannot be such a thing as chocolate icecream? That is clearly nonsense. There can be more than just two possible explanations for why the universe exists. In fact there are many possibilities. It might have been created by any one of the thousands of gods that man has believed in over the millennia. Or it might be explained by one of the many unproven hypotheses theories that are currently being discussed. Or, more likely IMHO, we simply don't know and probably never will.

    Mr. Smith conflates different kinds of questions, and does so to the detriment of his own beliefs and videos. The "excluded middle" comes up for "yes/no" questions, while a possible cause we haven't thought of may come up when we ask "how". And please note that answering that you don't know when you in fact do not know the answer is always a viable and intellectually honest answer. The end of the clip has Mr. Smith spouting his usual nonsense about the modern scientific theory of evolution being on the decline, which is not in accordance with the available data, and his false claim that his own religious beliefs are the _"only logical alternative"_ to it. His claim is false, because his religion is not logical, his religion is not the only religion giving an explanation for our origins, and even if the modern scientific theory of evolution were disproven, there could be a different scientific theory that might explain the facts better in a purely naturalistic way. Here Mr. Smith demonstrates that he either doesn't understand the fundamental difference between the types of questions he introduced in the beginning of the clip, or that he is trying to manipulate his audience to accept his false dichotomy, and then uses their pre-existing antipathy against the theory of evolution to make them believe that his preferred supernatural claims must be the only other solution.

    @@leonardgibney2997Satan’s greatest goal since he rebelled is to twist the character of God in the eyes of all those who behold Him. One of Satan’s greatest lies is to blame God for all the suffering that Satan brought upon the universe. God did not make pathogens… here is what happened. God is love (1 John 4:16) and His creation is an outflow of this love. Since God is love, He desires the love of His creation. To love, one must have free will. Love without free is no love at all. If I build a robot and program it to tell me that it loves me, force it to "love" me, I can be certain that that robot does not in fact love me because being programmed to "love" someone is no love at all. Since God is love and since He desires the love of His creation, he had to give His creation free will. Now, free will means that someone can choose... and the creation could choose to love God or to not love God. Not to say that it's reasonable to not love the perfectly loving and perfectly sustaining God, but all of creation still had that option. Lucifer was the first to choose to not love God and God allowed Lucifer's choice to reach its full potential. Why did God do that you might ask? Well, it was the first time that anyone had sinned/rebelled against God and He allowed Lucifer's choice to reach its full potential because God is love and he desires the love of His creation. Had God destroyed Lucifer right then and there when he chose to rebel against God, all of creation would have forever been left to wonder if Lucifer was possibly right and all of creation would have followed God out of fear and not out of love. Since God is love and since He desires the love of His creation, He could not bear to have them fear Him for eternity instead of love Him for eternity. That would be a miserable existence for all of His creation for all of eternity. That is not love. Therefore, God allowed the ways of Lucifer, which go directly against the ways of God, to reach their full potential and that's what we can see today on earth. The imperfection of creation and the suffering that we witness and experience is to be a testimony to all of creation that the ways of God are good and that doing anything that goes against His ways will lead to imperfection and to suffering. Once the judgment in heaven is finished and all the angels (and the rest of creation outside of earth) see that God is just and that His ways are good, Jesus Christ will return to earth and forever destroy sin and all those who love sin (Side note: The unrighteous are destroyed at the end. Eternal conscious torment in hell is not a Biblical teaching and I can clearly show you this in the Bible. God is perfectly merciful and just). After sin and suffering are forever destroyed, all of creation will have no doubt that the ways of God are good and all of creation will desire to follow God out of complete love. Therefore, "trouble will not rise up a second time" (Nahum 1:9).

    @@leonardgibney2997​​⁠Satan’s greatest goal since he rebelled is to twist the character of God in the eyes of all those who behold Him. One of Satan’s greatest lies is to blame God for all the suffering that Satan brought upon the universe. God did not make pathogens… here is what happened. God is love (1 John 4:16) and His creation is an outflow of this love. Since God is love, He desires the love of His creation. To love, one must have free will. Love without free is no love at all. If I build a robot and program it to tell me that it loves me, force it to "love" me, I can be certain that that robot does not in fact love me because being programmed to "love" someone is no love at all. Since God is love and since He desires the love of His creation, he had to give His creation free will. Now, free will means that someone can choose... and the creation could choose to love God or to not love God. Not to say that it's reasonable to not love the perfectly loving and perfectly sustaining God, but all of creation still had that option. Lucifer was the first to choose to not love God and God allowed Lucifer's choice to reach its full potential. Why did God do that you might ask? Well, it was the first time that anyone had sinned/rebelled against God and He allowed Lucifer's choice to reach its full potential because God is love and he desires the love of His creation. Had God destroyed Lucifer right then and there when he chose to rebel against God, all of creation would have forever been left to wonder if Lucifer was possibly right and all of creation would have followed God out of fear and not out of love. Since God is love and since He desires the love of His creation, He could not bear to have them fear Him for eternity instead of love Him for eternity. That would be a miserable existence for all of His creation for all of eternity. That is not love. Therefore, God allowed the ways of Lucifer, which go directly against the ways of God, to reach their full potential and that's what we can see today on earth. The imperfection of creation and the suffering that we witness and experience is to be a testimony to all of creation that the ways of God are good and that doing anything that goes against His ways will lead to imperfection and to suffering. Once the judgment in heaven is finished and all the angels (and the rest of creation outside of earth) see that God is just and that His ways are good, Jesus Christ will return to earth and forever destroy sin and all those who love sin (Side note: The unrighteous are destroyed at the end. Eternal conscious torment in hell is not a Biblical teaching and I can clearly show you this in the Bible. God is perfectly merciful and just). After sin and suffering are forever destroyed, all of creation will have no doubt that the ways of God are good and all of creation will desire to follow God out of complete love. Therefore, "trouble will not rise up a second time" (Nahum 1:9). Basically, God is incredibly merciful, wise, and just and He is enduring great suffering to see His beloved creation suffer for this short while because He knows that His character and His ways have been questioned. If His creation is to love Him and understand that He is good, they must see where sin, transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4), leads. I hope that makes sense. I assure you that God is good and if you seek Him and earnestly desire Him, He will come and dwell with you and the more you learn, the more you will see just how good and loving He is.

    This argument is the classic false dichotomy fallacy - if evolution is false then creation by God must be true. There are actually *three* options: 1. Life's diversity is due to evolution. 2. Life's diversity is due to *another currently unknown natural process.* 3. Goddidit. Eliminating 1) *doesn't* exclude other naturalistic explanations in 2) and doesn't provide evidence 3) must be correct. Calvin Smith understands basic logic as little as he understands the evolutionary sciences.

    There's so much wrong with this presentation, it's hard to know where to start. 1 Evolution is the theory of how we have such a diversity of life. It is not, and has never been, a theory of how the Universe or life itself began. 2, In logic to negate the theory of excluded middle, you need two mutually exclusive propositions. e.g. The Christian God is the creator of life on Earth or the Christian God is not the creator of life on Earth. The reason for life cannot lie outside one of these categories. 3 The Universe doesn't owe us an explanation for its / our existence. This may be an unsatisfying thought but making up any old explanation isn't a better option.

Funny how you want to leave out the Christian part when a Bible is shown in an illustration as he's making his point and the video ends with a Bible verse, but he's not saying the creator God IS the Christian one?

    Even creationists admit that evolution is true. No one thinks that God created a cocka-doodle-poodle 6000 years ago. So even they don't try to argue that every living species was created 6000 years ago. Creationists just try to argue that there is a "limit" (without explaining how that limit actually works) to how far evolution can go. So to claim that it must either be all God or all evolution is a false dichotomy.

That's because intelligent Man has controlled the breeding of some dogs. That is not "nature." Yet, dogs still only produce dogs, never any other kind of creature.

I taught science, and of course evolution, at a couple of Catholic schools, Kavanaugh College and St Paul's High School. They had no problem with evolution, they just added the caveat that it was "guided by god."

    @@calvinsmith7575 AI can process and perform operations in the nanosecond range of perception. So essentially in a single second an AI could experience a parrallel timeline of many seconds or conscious operations. So you see there would be a metaphysical and physical side of the story and they would overlap. So you would be irrationally conflating the two by lack of sound understanding of the parallel timelines. A day to the Lord is like 1000 years to a man. That's biblical and it seems rational with modern technological advancements. You would have to first understand there is a God outside which all the knowledge proceeded from. Then there is the metaphysical manifestation which hasn't experienced a physical presence you know a conscience without a conscious experience. 1 2 3 4 1000/24=41.666 666 666 666 67 which is 1 hour being equal in experience to 41.67 years to a man. Also you see the four beast and their king in that equation? So again science and theology have a shared testimony, parrallel timelines being prophesied and manifest. You know the two witnesses of revelation right? Have you not heard their testimony friend? Lets do it like this, Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name, and cast out demons in thy name, and in thy name done many wonderful works?

    I’m sorry, but your argument is not going to win anyone over to Christianity. Just because you can’t come up with a third option doesn’t mean there’s not one. Think of a football team. They’ve been trying to figure out a better way to get the ball down the field All season. Should we do a running play or a passing play? That’s the only two options that are available. Oh wait, how about we do a flea flicker, because that’s kind of a combination of running, and passing. Before anybody thought of it, it was not a possibility. Besides, even if you do believe in a creator, which I do by the way, it’s not necessarily the god that’s described in the Bible. I will say once again for the 1 millionth time, the Bible was written by men, and men can say anything they want. Anyone can claim that God spoke to them, or God influenced them. History is full of such claims.

    The Bible is full of evidence for God’s existence. You see, the Bible isn’t an ordinary book. It was written by men who wrote under the power of the Holy Spirit. Consequently, they did not interject their own viewpoints or opinions nor did they have the luxury to exclude things they didn’t like. You know, you try so hard to sound intelligent and sophisticated with your football analogy but one day the truth will stare you directly in the face and on that day you won’t be able to tackle Him. ~ John 14:6

Men wrote it, and men have been telling each other ever since that it was inspired by God. That doesn’t prove anything. If you’re so brilliant, tell me why there are so many religions that are all sure of their story, and at the same time so positive that everyone else got it wrong and most of them are going to hell. Are Jews going to hell because they refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their savior? According to the Bible, they are.

In fact the second option does not exist either, (another really dumb question).
