Frank Turek is asked a series of challenging questions by a young atheist in a Q&A line. This conversation is remarkable. You can find all of Frank’s videos at @crossexamined
Enjoy!
I am being 100% honest.. Today, I had this exact same question in my mind. What created God? I start mindlessly and randomly browsing my KZhead feed and see this video shows up.. I truly believe this video was Gods way of giving me answers…Just like what was stated in the video.. if you seek God out he will show you the way.
That’s amazing! God is good ❤️
Amen. You seem so genuine in your search for truth. God is real, and God is good. God bless you, friend 🙏
Not a single sound argument in his answers, and an accumulation of bad evidence is more bad evidence, just as an accumulation of manure is still manure. All more evidence that faith is immoral and religion is evil.
@@Daily_Dose_Of_WisdomMy 11 year old daughter had the same question less than one hour ago. Just went to go to sleep and open KZhead and this is first video that pops up.
I look forward to reading about it on your law blog. :p
That wasn’t a debate, that was a guy seeking answers and he had the humility to sideline his ego and ask. ❤
1k
And he got for it was more sophistry.
that Atheis wanted HIS Answer, not THE answer
I mean...This is the mentality that everyone should enter into a debate, express their ideas but be open to listening and being wrong
@mrao8819 you cant just spray the word "sophistry" and then run away. You should explain why and how what he said was fallacious or deceptive.
What a healthy debate that was. Respect to both people.
not really, the atheist based all his arguments on, excuse the UNINTENDED PUN, on bad faith principles. Thats not healthy, thats condemnatory.
Not a single sound argument in his answers, and an accumulation of bad evidence is more bad evidence, just as an accumulation of manure is still manure. All more evidence that faith is immoral and religion is evil.
I agree.... Both sides were patient, clear and respectful. The lack of emotion was also refreshing.
@@ShuggaMug were we watching the same clip? lol
@@mysticnovelbro Care to explain?
This was just wonderful. That young guy was a true seeker - no arrogance, very humble. He will find the truth.
And hopefully u shall find truth
@@Jeremy-vo3ul he already did
Radhe Radhe 🕉️
Amen
@@Getthetruth5yes, amen. Amen in that he found the truth in that not only are we not certain, but the god assumption is the most of ignorant of the stated options.
I used to be an aetheist and I used to have lots of questions and reasons to avoid him. But I always felt as if someone was watching over me. But got delivered me out of that darkness. He brought me out of the darkness and into the light. Now I'm continuously imprvoving on myself as best as I could. And if I felt alone in my battles back then, I'm now with God who is constantly battling my battles all because he loves me ❤
Our children were poisoned because of these broadcasts, atheism is a lie, you removed everyone, Allah is a supreme being, the denial of the person who denies him does not cast a shadow on the existence of Allah, billions of people believe, pray, prostrate, the one who answers the prayers and knows what people want is Allah, these channels are harmful and you are making ignorant comments here, God have mercy. It shows compassion and does not burn people in hell. Do not scare people with hell.
If u have a good knowledge about god may i ask u some question? @@ResetAll-ni4dp
This kid is terrific. Good questions, and he phrased them more clearly than most anyone I’ve heard before. Discussing with someone like this is a gift because he helps everyone think more clearly about the topic. Very respectful too.
And his peers listened also....❤
Why do you think God created anything?
@@malirk Why would you think HE didn't or wouldn't?
@Brian Stevens we dont have to think 🤔 we KNOW 💡 God says it in His word He created us to worship and love Him. To be His bride, His family, His love!
@@malirk and i am more than happy to respectfully answer any more questions you may have brother 👊
The difference between this kid and most atheists who 'debate' Christianity is that he's actually -searching- for answers, instead of searching for a way to disprove the answer. He wants to know, genuinely, and that's why he's not just kicking and screaming against the words being said. He walked away from that debate a winner whether he got the answers he was expecting or not, because he was respectful and actually -listened-. Good on him.
But see, trying to disprove answers is how science works. If you look for answers, to prove something, you will inevitably find something, no matter how stupid or improbable it must be. That is confirmation bias -- it's how flat-earthers stay flat-earthers.
@@The6thMessenger While I don't disagree that scientific theory required as much disproving as proving, and they're certainly discussing some science based ideas, I would actually argue that this conversation is largely more faith based than science based. But what I meant, and probably didn't phrase right was more that most theological/atheist debates I've seen are largely just arguments for superiority, rather than actually discussions for information. This one felt the contrary to that! Hope that clarifies!
I think you have a very harmful view of atheists. I’m an atheist and I watch videos on religion all the time looking for answers, I just think the points coming from the sides of the atheists make more sense to me personally. A small portion of us are “kicking and screaming” and make the others look bad. Just the same as a small portion of religious people are super judgmental and make you look bad. I feel like most rational people from both sides are just looking for answers, there’s just a small portion of them that make both sides look bad, and of course they’re the ones that are shown more often because they’re seeking attention.
@@sagemodead9877 I don't recall giving a view in a generalized sense - only that the majority of these videos are not so good natured and usually result in a screaming match (often one sided).
@@erinjoyner3739 I definitely have saw it both ways, but I think either way neither side is a good representation of that group of individuals as a whole
I'm only about 4 minutes in and I love this debate! I love that they are having a civil discussion and not shouting over each other as well.
I love your ministry!!I've been a Christian for almost 30 yrs and have always had these type of questions in the back of my mind without anyone ever having the knowledge to explain like this vid. I now have an 11yr daughter with the same questions and now from what i learned I am able to at least help her understand a bit of what I had longed to know for yrs.
I love how polite that kid was... I wish everyone could discuss hard personal issues the way these two have.
If the church could foster this kind of conversation with curious unbelievers, unbelievers and atheist will have such a different opinion of the body of Christ. Amazing conversation ❤
just heard of frank turek today and have been binge-watching him. whenever he speaks i felt at peace.
His books are outstanding!
You might also enjoy the theological debates of Dr. William Lane Craig, against the most popular atheists.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 noted! ❤️
Turek is as dishonest as every other apologist
Ok cool. The young guy was cool being respectful and honest about his Atheistic views. I'm glad brother Frank Turek addresses Atheism and beliefs of other religions and worldviews on Cross Examined ministry. I was an atheist and agnostic from 17-19 years old until I discovered evidence of God's Existence and Christianity myself. Creation requires a Creator we human beings would call God. Atheists seem to think that God cares if we know that He exists or not obviously don't understand why the last book of The Bible is called Revelation because He finally reveals Himself to the whole world. Jesus The Christ of Nazareth (Yeshua H'Mashiac The Messiah in Hebrew) is The Son of The Living God came to save us from the Eternal consequences of our sins. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a 23 year old Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " On The Origin of Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
THAT is what healthy debate/discussion looks like. No screaming, finger pointing or accusations. I wish more people in society would learn to communicate better with each other.
These are setup with rules people have to adhere by or they get kicked off and never asked back. A TV host for instance gets barely any time and has execs pushing them to move on. In a perfect world every debate has no time limit and everyone is allowed to speak with no interruption
Blame pedo Kier Starmar
My respect the guy who ask the question. He was polite and respectful. So many times I want to give up with GOD but I'm here waiting for him to hear me🙏🏾😭
That is the rare thing called "wisdom". Not a lot of it out there. If case you've read "The Republic" - Plato - the points are made through a logic based dialog.
The liberals especially need to learn this. They are quick to just call you a racist or Hitler or a sexist or whatever else as soon as you disagree with them about something.
This is the healthiest, ego-free conversation I've heard. Love how both sides validated eachother. I wish we could extend this level of respect and embrace towards other subjects that are so polarized today.
Too bad political debates didn’t follow this model of debate!
YES.!!!!!!!! IN LEARNING CLASS TODAY... intelligent people discuss ALL things......and well not so intelligent people ARGUE and separate themselves from discussions and ALL things they disagree with which IS hmmmm NOT intelligent and or ''not well thought out'' and or ''' ignorant '' and Ignorant people are just STUCK in their thinking process and I am in NO way speaking down to Ignorant people I am JUST pointing out the obvious ALL humans HAVE the ability to NOT be Ignorant IN FACT we are ALL born to be constantly learning ''' Ignorant ''......we ALL are but '''STUPID'' is KNOWING better and STILL choosing to be willfully Ignorant .....well.....THAT IS ALL ON YOU .....and I hope you always STAY LEARNING....it's the best ...I promise....MUCH LOVE...[[[[Teesus]]]]]
Exactly
@mabela.. Well stated. 👍 Agreed 100%
@@JFlyer1973I see this argument a lot. The issue is that a debate is one thing, we can all agree or disagree and nothing comes of it. In politics decisions have to be made about things that greatly affect peoples lives. It's the making of the decision that often angers those who oppose said decision.
What an incredible exchange. The young man was brilliant! The answers were compelling, wise, and very easy to understand. I loved this debate. So, I'm subscribing to your channel, Mr. McGuire. Thank you for choosing to publish such healthy content. Keep up the excellent work.
I found the answers scientifically ignorant and full of correlation/causation errors and leaps of faith.
❤ That was beautiful! Thank you for posting this! It’s perfect! 😊
I have to give that kid props for asking a good question in a respectful manner. Very respectful conversation
yeah very rare thing but probably the dude was anti because by others experiences! i mean of course you can get bad experiences even in christian community... but in other fact the christianity itself a very well made stuff ;)
Yes, the questions were more intelligent than the responses.
a very often seen superficial comment. Not fantastic, adds nothing to the topic. Sorry, don't wanna be rude, it1s just annoying to say the least.I wanna read topic related comments, instead I read your comment over and over, almost word by word. I just wanna kill myself. Please do not take it personally... I do not know you, nut I would be interested why did you feel you need to copy maybe rephrase a little the 20 thousand comment before you? Just why? What's the resoning behind it? I can explain my comment, can you yours?

This kid was brilliant and respectful, we should all strive to ask questions just as this kid did
These questions cannot be answered. They’re undecidable for now because we don’t have the right questions to ask yet.
@@dimi3446 I know that GOD IS because the prophecies made thousands of years in the bible are fulfilling so precisely these days.
@@MsViva710 I generally believe it’s good for people to believe in something because it makes them better people and I also see religions more like traditions and not so much about God necessarily. What happened back in those days? Nobody knows for sure but there’s definitely something paranormal and we call it paranormal because we don’t have the understanding of physics yet but it’s more likely that it was non-human intelligence rather than the creator of the universe because even the word “creator” doesn’t make sense. Who created the creator? See? We don’t have the right questions to ask and that’s because we don’t have the physics yet or maybe we do in some black project. Remains to be seen. So back to what I was saying, it’s undecidable, at least in terms of public knowledge that is protected under the freedom of information act. In terms of secret knowledge, there’s probably a lot more that we are unaware of.. meaning the public.
Peaceable and respectful. Definitely not brilliant. Everyone knows about God and it’s nothing more than willingly ignorant to deny His existence.
And hes smart too
So powerful answers and explanation, thank you to spreading all these life changing discussions to the world of Internet
Stumbled onto this while looking for what to watch. Thanks for this 🙏🏼
Honestly, the guy asking the questions was the type of person you would hope we would all be when asking questions.
It was set up . All fake
Nice logo.
You know that a debate is a war of words, but not of violence and profanity, but an apologetic display of logic and common sense. This debate was well done, no one was offended, and the one questioning was humble enough to accept the response when it addressed all of the problems of the questioner.
Not a single sound argument in his answers, and an accumulation of bad evidence is more bad evidence, just as an accumulation of manure is still manure. All more evidence that faith is immoral and religion is evil.
Or he couldn't be bothered to go into it. The big bang is not necessarily the beginning of the universe.
@@nicolab2075 How is it not?
@@BirdNatureView Because we have no idea what came before it. It could be the big bang emerged from some pre universe state that has always existed. It seems to be likely that the big bang emerged from something rather than nothing (although we can't prove that either)
@@nicolab2075 You are right about something that has always existed, we just differ in that I call him God and you do not.
Enjoyed this message. Especially your message at the end. Wonderful analysis. Thank you from my heart. Bless you.
LIstened to a couple of these videos and far out am I learning. Thankyou for uploading them!
Imagine our politicians having the same conviction, mind opening, reflexion and respect as these guys. The world would be sooooo different.
I think you’re saying that a meritocratic system of public discourse would be a benefit to the government of our societies. 100%. Now. Just figure out a way to suppress the opulent reach and influence of the plutocrats and I think you may have a platform.
bro we wouldn't even need multiple parties that would be great
Unfortunately politicians don't have the intelligence
You will always have multiple political parties because you will have rich people with different agendas about how to stay in power.
Some of them are, thank God.
That young man grabbed my heart! So polite, well spoken and intelligent. It's my hearts prayer and desire that he would come to the saving knowledge of God and find peace in it.
God is already callibg him. He just needed his questions and confusions to be answered.
When you leave comments that make you seem cultish lol.
He doesn’t need to come over. Leave the boy alone
Until he’s burning down the cities with a ski mask because he thinks black people are beneath him, with a sign that says “put trump in jail, because “I think” he’s a danger to our democracy so I don’t want anyone to be aloud to vote for him” 👍
What would happen to him? Eternal love in hell?
Love these. Thank you so much for these videos - you are helping to answer some of my lingering questions!
I really needed this video, I was feeling like everything seemed like the world was about to shut down and I was saddened by this fear of dying. Now I know that resuming my faith in God gives me the comfort to continue living and appreciate the things he gives me.
What a smart kid. He asked his question in such a wonderful manner we should all take note. Me included.
This kid obviously studied material from another atheist's playbook on how to trip up Creationists. Any kid could have done that. And there is nothing intelligent about denying the existence of God Almighty.
Massive respect to that young man for being open-minded, respectful, and most of all curious.
yeah, well educated and polite young man
Questioning God existence is not a good curiosity..

Best video I've seen in a really long time. Thank you. Shared ❤️
I soak up all this like a sponge. Thank you all for your true intellect and thought-provoking "wonderments". And thank You God for being so patient, loving and just Your Presence...
All I can add is that this young man is way more intelligent than me, I believe in God but I just do, this young man has actually very credible questions and he isn’t arrogant or smug trying to get the gotcha question.
Not a single sound argument in his answers, and an accumulation of bad evidence is more bad evidence, just as an accumulation of manure is still manure. All more evidence that faith is immoral and religion is evil.

The professors answers were entirely rational. Although rationale is a human endeavour and god is possibly a creation of man and god doesn’t mind us drawing that “rational “ conclusion and still apparently wants us to know his presence
I think it's great to seek truth. I always wonder when talking with people. 1) What convinced you of the God you believe in? 2) At what age did you become convinced? Feel free to answer.
His parents must be so proud of raising him so well. I'm proud for him.

Ditto!
I don't know how anyone can be Christian. Why believe in something there is no evidence for?
@@maccusmc 1. There is all kinds of evidence for God, you just refuse to open your eyes. I’m know this comment will open a “pandoras box” of questions/debates, and there is some great videos on many of those questions. 2. Faith. 3. Philosophically, I could argue “why would anyone not believe in God when there is no evidence he does not exist”? I hope you find your way.
@Frank Houck great show me this evidence. Secondly, faith is belief without evidence. When we believe things without evidence then you can justify anything. Like 911
@@maccusmcHe won't, bc there is no evidence.

Christianity is a culture, not a fact. Whatever you choose to follow should only be able to facilitate an evolution to your being. Giving you the tools to be able to unshackle you from any limitations spiritually and within in life. Religions generally tend to tie their followers to them too tightly through greed and control (Spanish inquisition, taliban in Afghanistan) rarely do they give the tools to help you guide your own spiritual development which in turn then evolves the religion itself. It was a Roman Emperor Constantine that developed Christianity to have the heaven and hell notion in order to have some allegiance and obedience towards his religion. Creating fear among his people not freedom. It originally had the belief of reincarnation. Says a lot about the idea of God giving free will, when it could be that you are a piece of god and free will is an immutable condition to your being as God has ultimate free will. Making you your own saviour. Buddhism has many great tools of self development and its said that Jesus was a reincarnation of the Buddha.
I love that kid. He is intelligent with his questions. In fact, they are genuine questions for everyone to understand the question of God. God bless him and may he open his heart to God
Well said! Thank you LORD for the life or Dr. Frank Turek! All the glory, honor, praises and thanksgiving only to you my LORD! And thank you LORD for this channel!
I'm so used to listening to dramatic political debate/arguments. It was amazing to see an intellectual conversation between two very brilliant lads. One person sits and listens, while the other speaks. Then stops speaking, awaits a response. Amazing!
Wow. A debate with no yelling and screaming. We needcto get back to this. Excellent video
Must be a really old clip yhrn. I cant imagine an atheist today using anything close to an insidr voice not dripping with smug emotion.

Love this channel. I typically am not too interested these types of content creators where they just provide commentary on other's hard work but this is truly golden. I am also burnt out on the Christian vs Christian channels (the prot and catholic debates specifically).
This is awesome. I've been coming to be able to rationalize some of this lately, but these are such great ways of wording it!
Believing in a God who created everything is not rational.
This is the kind of debate we need. Kudos to both gentlemen
Wasn’t much of a debate, bro asked a grade school level question and the speaker answered with platitudes and baseless assertions
I agree. I love when people go in, ask tough questions and is still open to the response and asking questions without being disrespectful. Just asking these questions to hear someone's answer.
@@Miked1332 yeah, but this wasn’t a tough question, the who made god question is one I heard in bible school as a child, a tough question would be like: how can we trust the message of the Bible is true when so much of it is demonstrably false? Like I wouldn’t trust a ikea instruction manual to build a shelf if it was constantly incorrect or missing parts or steps.
@@Giantmidgetmotochannel- I disagree that much of the Bible is demonstrably false. Are you willing to defend that claim that you smuggled into the question you posed?
@@markskojec863 of course, and you don’t have to take my word for it, there are libraries full of examples of inaccuracies, contradictions, and preposterous claims (like the nature of the planet) that biblical scholars have gone over in great detail. Did you have a favorite bit that you think shows a clear example of the Bible giving an accurate representation of something profound?
I loved how respectful this young debater was. I hope everyone else has put him on their prayer list :)
Very good and concise explanation. Love it. Praise the Lord!
So good ! Thank you for sharing ❤
Props to the kid. He remained very calm and used his logic and reasoning without getting emotional. I pray he keeps searching, questioning everything, and finds the truth somr day.
and if you're truth doesn't exist? then what?
@@bender6316 then there's no harm done. You can be religious your whole life, but if death turns out to just be infinite nothingness, then your actions on earth will have no good nor bad impact on the afterlife. People will never find "the truth". That's why faith and belief exists. We can only have faith in our belief. We can believe that our belief is true, but we actually have no proof of our belief. Otherwise it wouldn't be a belief, but a fact.
Religion is the cause of all wars and hatred in the world ! The crusades , Afghanistan , Ireland , , , , , , ,
Never mind that religion destroyed the original path or worship and made it a crime 🤮 if we ALL worshipped mother earth instead of made up characters we would live in peace.
@@mathiasnkristensen "then there's no harm done." Ah, Pascal's wager -- an apologist's best friend.
THIS is what debating should be! Respect and acceptance of one's another views. Well done, gentlemen!
Indeed.
Agreed
A debate is not accepting another’s point of view. A debate is discussing opposing viewpoints.
Turek had a compelling argument. There are other ways Turek could have countered the so called assumed dichotomy. The answer is given by the Creator Himself on Jeremiah 17:9, Romans 1:18 amd several other passages.
Respect what? Listening a person take a person serious who believes in fairy tales?

I'm a Christian and I thought this was amazing. The young man was incredible and made me think!! All of this was powerful.
Why are you at a Christian
What about that young man did you find “incredible”, and what did his rudimentary, and juvenile questioning make you think about? In my view, the existence of God, and the forces of good and evil are so abundantly clear and observable in everyday life that I have to wonder whether or not these “sceptics” are even cognitively present in their own bodies to somehow miss the blatant evidence in front of them. When I see debates like this I have a hard time not just shutting my brain off completely because it’s such a boring subject.
@@CurseSeer4561 You realize that if god is real, he is responsible for every evil force in the world, at least when your god is the christian one.
@@TgfkaTrichter That is the most brain dead comment I’ve read all day. We have free will. God doesn’t work your actions like a puppet with his hand up your ass. He will allow you to separate yourself from him if that is your choice. He will allow you to fall into sin if that is your decision. Evil is committed by those compromised by outside demonic influence, and who have willingly given up communion with God.
@@TgfkaTrichter imagine he isn't real. Aren't we just all morons then?

Excellent and very insightful debate. Carter was very humble and willing to learn.
Usually in these debates, emotions are running high..people are screaming and cussing and whatever have you. But these guys are being very calm and respectful towards eachother. Good job!
How refreshing to see and hear a healthy debate/conversation between two sides that aren’t using hatred, bullying, threats of violence, intimidation, insults, and ridicule to get their points across…. Great job to both in the conversation.✌️😊👍❤️🤗🎤
The Christian is using lies. Making claims that has no evidence. That in and of itself is in fact insulting, hatred, bullying, intimidation, threats of violence, and ridicule.
WOW. ❤ thank you for sharing this!
Liked your reaction to this video ! Also, like how the speaker answered the athiest and I also appreciate how he wanted to know and was polite.
Big respect to this kid, very polite and respectful.
That guy’s face at the end of the answer from Frank Turek… it touched him. Good job Frank.
I thought he looked like he was going to cry.
No. He clearly is just a gentlemen. Turek`s example didn`t make sense. "His" god would punish someone just for not "believing" in him but rewards any murderer who does. Pablo Escobar is with god, he killed men, women and children, even killed his lovers, cheated, sold drugs. A true christian.
I always like how Frank Turek is able to give so many obviously correct arguments (this time about physics) and I always agree with him for most of the video and then he just becomes illogical at one point. At point Turek's logic will always fall apart. This time it happens at time-point 4:14. No, if something immaterial and timeless caused the universe, which is a reasonable conclusion, we still don't know anything about that cause, except being immaterial and timeless. For example, we don't know that that cause is intelligent, which is the very important feature of a God.
@@goranmilic442 where aren't suppose to know everything. We don't have answers to a lot of things but we aren't God
@@Mastamindzmuzik I agree. Then why is Turek pretending to have the answers, when he doesn't? There is a spaceless and timeless cause of the universe? Very well, I agree. But we must stop there, because we don't know anything else about the cause. We don't know it's God.
I am so happy I found this channel. It is going to help me “Bring People to Jesus” and “Jesus to people”. Thank You.
This man's reaction at the end of his time in this Q&A is pretty powerful. He was visibly moved by the answers and questions he was given.
I had noticed that too
The beauty of open mindedness
He just hadn't thought through the arguments to this point and he doesn't say things he isn't fully confident in. Next time, he'll take it further.

Yes , you ask questions not only to debate and try to win but rather valid questions and willing to listen.
That young man left shaken. He is questioning everything now. This is great!
Very moving. God bless this man
As an atheist, this is the best Christian apologetics I’ve ever heard! I’m actually impressed. Both sides were truly represented as well as possible. I’m happy to see a Christian actually presenting and understanding their faith the way I believe a true God would want. I don’t believe in hell, but how simply he defines hell almost makes me. I’m glad I watched this.
He is 100% lying when saying that there is evidence against the universe being the un caused first cause. The universe itself can always be expanding and contracting. Heat isn’t disappearing in the universe. It is simply finite while the universe is currently expanding. “Space, time and matter had a beginning”. Yes….for THIS iteration of the universe. Each possible iteration has new time, space, and matter. This man is full of shit. There isn’t a shred of evidence that supports the existence of any god, and CERTAINLY not the Canaanite war god Yahweh, that eventually morphed into the nonsensical god of Christians.
Humans only assume... we know nothing... so one could say god excist and doesnt excist at the same time if you follow our principles. But the way we view GOD is a holy deity personafied, the true father of jesus christ which most likely is another man made mythos. I dont believe in that kind of GOD, but as this guy answering the atheist said, that he thought of whats out there in space is what he thought is god that i can agree AND disagree with. There are forces we just dont understand and never will until we die, and even then we might not know it. There are only theories. You have on this earth as the guy stated "free will"... so you do with that what you want. My thesis is that we all are just like any other living organism on this earth, fragile and weak, but evolved to a point of what we concieve as HIGHLY intelligent. And just the fact that we may regard ourselves as highly intelligent prooves how uneducated and clueless we really are to the real forces of space/universe and its mysteries. What made it all is truly more complex than any lifeform will ever be.
@@kimberg2539there is a gigantic amount that we do not know, and humility around that fact is gravely needed. But we do not know nothing.
The unavoidable fatal flaw of these religious apologetics or any failed argument in general is that they rely on at least one foundational assertion being true despite a lack of sufficient evidence or proof of that claim. How it’s a problem is that the unproven claim isn’t even at issue, and instead is just automatically accepted and is a springboard for what the conversation at hand is based on, which itself becomes fruit of the poisonous tree. As an example, when the speaker talked about the story discussing whether or not the mother who rejected the gospel is in hell or not. The answer that he discussed sounded nice, but he glossed over demonstrating that hell even existed. Absent of that, any discussion surrounding hell is irrelevant and invalid.
I'm glad you watched it, too. I was an atheist myself. If I couldn't "see" proof with my own senses, I didn't believe it but my quest for truth eventually brought me to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't regret a single moment since that day. My hope, even though I don't know you, is that you too will be blessed with that same eternal hope. John 3:16

Serve Allah, Who is your Lord and my Lord.' Allah has forbidden Paradise to those who associate anything with Him in His divinity and their refuge shall be the Fire. (5:73) Those who said: 'Allah is one of the Three', certainly they disbelieved, for there is no god save the One God. And if they do not give up this claim, all who have disbelieved among them shall be subjected to painful chastisement. And for their saying, "We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of God." In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him. Rather, God raised him up to Himself.

Good to see a respectful debate. It allows one to hear both sides equally.
This was wonderful on both sides! A young and confused seeker was handled lovingly by a true Christian with facts, with details and with care.

Why do people like yourself always speaking for a god they only have belief in? You've never seen god, this type of talk actually reflects the mental absurdness of religion,
The truth is God is a myth, we've already got that figured out. You can figure that out alone just looking at the fact that the Bible is wrong and false in so many important areas

@ImalTman I tend to seperate debate and discussion. To me debate is what you do in court, where you try by all means to win the argument even if you know your guy is guilty. It's also the same when you join a school debate team. They make you pick a side and you have to stick to it no matter what, even if you don't even agree with that side. The atheist guy, by my personal definition, was not debating but was discussing. Debate = I'm right, you're wrong. Discuss = I am opposed to your viewpoint but let us go on a truth discovering journey together. So discussion is about getting to the truth and debate is about proving I am right and you are wrong. Many people, in my opinion, cannot seperate debate from discussion. This happens especially in romantic relationships. But it can happen in friendships, and even philosophical and religious conversations like this one. I'm glad to see that we actually got to watch a discussion as opposed to a debate.
Amen 🙌
Amen. I agree 💯 he's a very bright and humble young man. I pray if he hasn't already I pray he finds God. 🙏
Its heartening to hear a thoughtful and friendly conversation on such a contentious issue.
That was an excellent conversation. I am astonished and impressed with the knowledge and eloquence of the man who defended God. I wish I had such knowledge and such freedom in expressing myself.
Wow!!!! I loved that conversation!!! Praise Jesus!
VERY STRONG argument from the professor. Never heard someone put it in the way he did. Very impressive.
Frank is a liar, and a well-known liar
He offers a terribly flawed argument.
@@spastikps4916 Explain it
@@SajSen02 well, he says god continues to offer us cards and flowers (like an unwanted boyfriend) while we’re here. However, take a child with terminal cancer, a holocaust victim, someone born in poverty, or someone born with clinical depression…they aren’t offered cards and flowers…they’re given a beating to the face. And he’s suggesting that those people too should accept him and believe…to have faith. Why? He’s never showed them his love. He’s shown preferential treatment to us all. What kind of (proclaimed) all loving god is that?
@@spastikps4916 Your argument is so outdated. Try search his answer on YT/google
I am blown away at the wisdom and much respect to the young man asking the questions as well.
This one really moved me. Praise God 🤲🏽. I pray we all choose God’s love.
If God exist, he does not love us
Great video, man. Thanks
The best debate i have heard between a Theist and Atheist so far. So polite yet very enlightening. Respect to both! ❤
The best debate between a theist and an atheist you have seen so far? Go watch some Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris or Daniel Dennett. They have had very high standing conversations, debates, speeches and discussions from like 2007 until 2023. It will open your eyes. Many people here could agree. :)
@@bengeurden1272Strongly disagree. Just about every one of the atheists you listed rely almost entirely on rhetoric as opposed to posing an intellectual argument or engaging the arguments. Most of the better atheists are obscure.
