Exactly, whether the Anti-Deity Donut (which prevented all gods) had a beginning isn't even a question that applies to it! I just get to claim things magically exist without a cause with no evidence (with no _proof that I know it_ ), and therefore this proves gods can't exist. Finally a theist who understands the "logic" proving gods can't exist!

There's more than one statement in the Bible indicating that to even look on the face of God would destroy a person. The nature of God is outside of human understanding and cannot be explained or proven by the human mind any more than the human being can stand even in the presents of God. The created will never comprehend the essence of God. Either you are given faith to believe that which you cannot comprehend, or you exist without meaning and are utterly lost. In other words, if one is not willing to believe in God, than He will have nothing to do with that person.

Providing evidence for God would be like trying to prove where the universe ends, and what is beyond that, then trying to explain what is beyond that. Try imagining infinity, truly imagining something without end. You'd be wrong in all your assumptions because you can't quantify infinity. People keep trying to put God in a test tube, 😂😂😂
I enjoy John Lennox - thanks for posting this. Our language, itself, limits us from clearly explaining this. For example, even saying "God is eternal," uses a word that invokes time: Eternal = unlimited time - but we're trying to describe "beyond time and space..." but have no words for that.

Definitely. In a sense we embrace god with our language. It’s easier to explain with our number system. 1,2,3,4 are all expressions of “infinity” (equating to eternal). It’s not so much about our limitations.. it’s more so about our belief. Want someone to disprove god. Have them count to infinity from 0.

You will find this statement again in the New Testament in 2 Peter 3:8, which uses the Idumean (Greek) word Chilioi (khil'ee-oy, χίλιοι) for 1000 & the word Kurios for Lord or master. Also the Quraan 32:5, which uses the Ashuric/Syriac (Arabic) word Alf (ألف) for 1000. So God does have a time, 1000 years is one day to God. So GOD has a life span as the beginning & end.

@Stan Stevens Ok. I understand your thoughts. You said that you look at it with all honesty, meaning that you should know exactly what is wrong. Can you explain why do you find the arguments and evidence for God's existence not quite "convincing"? Or at least what are those that you heard and did not convince you? (although the term "convience" is not relevant here because we must go where the evidence leads, not where the evidence likes us to lead in order to "convince" us with personal and unrealistic expectations). If you hunt a wild boar but you missed it only hurting it enough to leave footprints behind it in a forest full of leaves and grass and if the footprints are leading you into a cave you should go where they lead you, right? You will not say: "Neh! Not convincing. A wild injured boar never enter a cave when it scared, a boar will run panicked where sees an open field, not a dark cave with a narrow entrance, with a dead end." The same mistake is doing the most that are not "convinced" of the evidence where it leads. Because they are judging the evidence by their own worldview and opinion, which is extremely wrong. However, I'm willing to listen to your "not convincing evidence" or to the "no reason" of believing in the Creator. I'm curious.

I think that the real purpose of apologetics is to strengthen the faith of believers.

the problem with some people, is that they wish to understand God on our terms ....St. Augustine said "Believe, that you may understand."

Although its unlikely a personal supernatural God type being exists, it gives comfort to many.

Privetboy Moscow So the 23,000 Archaeological digs that prove the Historical accuracy of the Bible are not evidence? Are the tons of Historical findings that further prove the reliability of the Bible considered evidence? How about the thousands upon thousands of Manuscripts that prove that the Bible is trustworthy? What about the fact that it was written over the course of 1500 years by 40 different authors and despite all that it remains in perfect harmony from Genesis to Revelation? So I agree I don't care about beliefs without evidence. But there is a ton of evidence for the Bible, You just choose not to see it. the·ism ˈTHēˌizəm noun "belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in one god as creator of the universe, intervening in it and sustaining a personal relation to his creatures." So a Christian is a Theist regardless of his or her rejection of other Gods. So no I am not an Atheist and neither is any other Christian. And when there is the plethora of Archaeological and Historical evidence for "Santa", "the tooth fairy" or "flying unicorns" that there is for the Bible I'll take your argument seriously. faith fāTH noun 1. "complete trust or confidence in someone or something." pros·e·lyt·ize ˈpräsələˌtīz verb "convert or attempt to convert (someone) from one religion, belief, or opinion to another." The fact that you believe in the inexistence of God enough to proselytize (or Evangelize) on so many Christian videos shows that you do have blind faith in your belief. There is so much more evidence for the Bible than there is for evolution. The means of dating, The age of fossils, the many different ideas about it are pure opinion, guesses and speculation. where as the Bible is rooted in hard Archaeological and Historical Evidence.

They have discovered ruins of entire countries by following the description from the Bible. There are evidence that Jesus existed and even claimed to be God!! The Roman Historian Josephus (Who wasn't a Christian) recorded that Jesus was Crucified and that thousands of people claimed he had risen!! And before you say that they were all liars. They were killed for believing it. I don't think people would die for something they knew to be a lie. So there is evidence that supports my Saviours Life, Death and Resurrection.

You may not like it, but because you don’t like the answer you don’t also get to then suppose the answer is a ‘trick’. That would be intellectually vapid.

God breathes in and out. He has always done so. The universe expands and contracts, and it has always done so.
Dr. Kent has a spiritual acuity and understanding that can only be found through Consistent Fellowship and Intentionally Seeking a Relationship with a Divinity outside of Self. Anyone who’s ever prayed with authentic and childlike faith can relate. I believe Prayer (on occasion) can move Gods Hand but more often than not it’s going to move you, your perspective or your heart.
It is amazing to me that we humans think we are so smart that we can with our puny minds figure out our Creator and insist that He has to have come from somewhere because that is our perspective in our existence and He must fit into our thinking. Do we honestly think He has revealed everything about Himself to us at this point? So we say to Him, "You don't exist because we can't figure You out". Same old problem, human pride and self-righteousness.

None of that crap exists yet someone at some point invented it and people at one time or another and even now believe it. Heck we can even apply that to other religions and gods. The Native Americans had their own gods, the Graeco-Roman pantheon, the pagan gods of Europe, Africa the middle east, Asia all over the damn place people invented and worshiped gods you don't believe exist....yet it is so implausible to think someone thought yours up? I mean this may be uncomfortable to find out, but the name Yahweh and El Elyion (names god is referred to in the bible) were also gods in the polytheistic Canaanite religion. Conveniently enough this is where the ancient hebrews originated and the most likely scenario was they just eliminated gods from their pantheon as time went on until they were left with whichever was their favorite one.

The following is full of ideas, but by no means covers all the nature of God. Use the ideas to pursue further ideas. "Seek and ye shall find" doesn't mean finding a finished product, but finding more than you had before. Keep seeking. Each human is three in one. Body, mind (brain function), and spirit. My body is what can be detected physically. It can be seen, heard, smelled, and felt (shape, weight, temperature, etc.). It can be tasted, but in most cases my mind and spirit are going to make that difficult as they direct my body to hit, move, or call the police. (And so, right from the start, we see how they are inextricably connected.) My brain function is what directs my body to do actions. Talking, singing. Walking, running, dancing. Reaching, holding, pushing, writing, making and changing objects. Breathing, although usually automatic, is still caused by the brain. Our brain function also processes information, formulates ideas, makes plans, stores memories. My spirit is my feelings, personality, values, and attitudes. It supplies the reasons why my brain directs my body to do things. My body would not on its own want to run into a burning building. My brain has learned how such action risks life and limb, so it also votes No. But my spirit compells my brain to move my body when a loved one needs to be saved from the flames. I am not fully me, here on planet earth, if I only have 2 of the 3 components. Not one of them can stand alone. But thinking of the components separately helps one think when the whole is so complex. Jesus the Son functioned on earth as the body: material, seen, heard, etc. "... a body you have prepared for me..." "...being found in human form, he humbled himself..." "... “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side." "...the Son is the image of the invisible God." (All from the Bible and easily found online.) God is like brain function. He makes plans, he directs action, he uses language, he creates, he considers his observations of human behavior when planning and responding. He takes into consideration his own self-concept and his goals. His will is what directed the Son while the Son was on earth. The Holy Spirit motivates choices made by God the Father, God the Son, and the followers who have dedicated their lives to God through Jesus (the church). The Holy Spirit is life and it runs on love directed by wisdom: humility, patience, kindness, forgiveness; trusting, hoping, persevering, encouraging, rejoicing in the truth; noble, righteous, pure. (See 1Corinthians 13 & Philippians 4 for starters.) Stated differently, in the concept of the triune divinity, Jesus the Son and his body the church are "the muscle", God the Father is "the brains of the organization", and the Holy Spirit is "the heart". Genesis 1:27 (NRSV) "So God created humankind in his own image..." #10,754
I just love John Lennox - I could listen to him all day.

You love a nutcase? I mean, he is a lovable character, but still a charlatan or a nutcase. No middle ground possible.

Yes that's how confirmation bias works. You seek out information that bolsters your preconceived notions
