Question 1: [2:06] - “I agree you directly can’t prove the existence of God because he’s not going to show up physically and announce ‘Here I am!’ this instance; Yet the Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:20 ‘For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse” In plain English, this means we can know him by everything around us. Do you agree with this?”Question 2: [22:10] - “I have questioned many things in my short life but my disbelief in God and the independent soul is not one of them. I remember vividly the day, when I was 4 years old, my father attempted to explain to me what and who god was. The very moment he expressed the view that god was something apart from the physical universe I rejected it, and have been making logical arguments for my entire life which refute god.”“However I have recently encountered an obstacle I see as logically insurmountable and that is how can we as beings have free will, rational agency, or whatever you wish to call it without having a soul which is apart from our physical body?” “It seems to me that if we accept the premise of atheism that is that there is nothing other than the physical universe that we must also accept determinism. I have rejected determinism as long as I have rejected the existence of the soul but I find myself unable to logically and rationally continue to reject them both.” “The question I pose to you is, which one is it? Are we biologically determined to do everything we ever do from birth until death? Or do we have a soul that is separate from our physical being which grants us free will but seems to condemn our atheism.”Question 3: [1:32:22] – “I've watched a few of your videos about the relationships between men & women, the state of the family, and feminism. It occurs to me that the only group of significant size and influence that is saying much the same thing as you on these topics is Christians. Not only this, but it is the most conservative and "backward" Christians who are really on your side here. I know you are an atheist yourself, but doesn't it seem odd to you that if their whole worldview is so wrong, they're of the very few who have gotten this important issue right?”“In addition, I don't know if anyone has done a formal study on this, but there seems to be a direct relationship between a society's religious character and its fertility, with disastrous consequences for today's secular cultures. Although this is not a philosophically rigorous argument, it seems that a culture which is aligned with reality should be better suited to survive than a culture which, en masse, believes utter falsehoods. Either religion contains important truths largely forsaken by secular societies, or the human species is not well adapted to living with the truth.”Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
