<<@CrossExamined says : FREE Download of sermon I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist!: 👉📱https://cutt.ly/cInI1eo>> <<@bagpuss8960 says : Ricky Gervais is a two bob bit comedian. We dont use that coinage anymore.>> <<@bagpuss8960 says : God said... Write this down...they are saying that the name of Israel will be remembered no more...but I say....as long as the sun shines by day and the moon and stars by night...Israel shall ALWAYS be a people before ME.>> <<@ElGatoLoco698 says : Oh dear. Science is wrong? Polio, the plague, smallpox....all cured thanks to science. So what exactly is wrong about it?>> <<@adamfresk3226 says : Holy smokes…the cluelessness and/or shameless dishonesty of this guy…! 😳 Is anyone actually falling for it? The way he faceplants from the very outset is so obvious that it shouldn’t be possible for anyone to miss. This sort of intellectual garbage makes me nauseous. Yes - old science books have become obsolete because they have bern proven wrong - *by better science*! Science progresses, because it has an inherent error-correcting mechanism. That is why science works in the first place, for ****s sake. The Bible is the same because it’s dogmatism. The Bible doesn’t “still stand strong”. It stays unchanged because THEISTS REFUSE TO USE THEIR BRAINS TO HONESTLY QUESTION IT, because theism is a dishonest and intellectually bankrupt exercise in anti-thinking.>> <<@Jupiter862 says : Frank, though I love what you said here it seems like it misses the point made by the questioner (and therefore Gervais). His point is that science will be discovered again and that we would eventually get to our current level of knowledge again even if all current scientific knowledge was destroyed. He also says that the Bible, if destroyed, would not come about again over time. The assertion being that Truth will lead us to science and not to the Bible. My personal response… 1. Different kinds of information doesn’t negate the fact that it is information or necessarily call into question its veracity. 2. If the Bible is destroyed and culture lacks an understanding of God, science has no reason to flourish.>> <<@Theo_Skeptomai says : New comment thread. If you'd like to have a cordial discussion with an atheist, come join me.>> <<@BillAngler says : That is ridiculous. If we deleted World War Two from history and from everyones memory, then we wouldn’t know that it happened either. But that doesn’t mean it never happened. By his logic World War Two never happened because we wouldn’t know it happened if our memories were deleted, and because figuring out scientific facts like how food tastes good would be Quickly relearned if we had our mind erased about it tasting good. So food tasting good is real, but Bible is fake is his conclusion. He probably thinks the only reason that humans believe in god is because of the Bible, but it is not the only reason.>> <<@johngant3991 says : Good video>> <<@gorillaz_jbi says : You’re in a conversation and someone says, “The Bible just isn’t relevant anymore. Our world has moved beyond it.” What would you say? The Bible’s influence on the world as we know it has been so profound and so thorough that’s it’s easy to forget just how much it has shaped our understanding of science, morality, politics, literature, music, language, and so many other aspects of life and culture. In many places around the world, the Bible is more influential now than ever. In other words, when someone says that the Bible just isn’t relevant anymore, they’re just wrong. Here are 3 reasons why: Number 1: The Bible shaped and continues to shape the Western mind. Though Westerners often take things like political freedom, human rights, orphanages, hospitals, women’s rights, care for the poor and opposition to things like slavery and pederasty for granted…we shouldn’t! As atheist historian Tom Holland points out in his book “Dominion”. Every one of these things was birthed from Christianity’s influence on the world. Quote, “The idea that every human being possessed an equal dignity was not remotely a self-evident truth. A Roman would have laughed at it. The origins of this principle lay not in the French Revolution, nor in the Declaration of Independence, nor in the Enlightenment, but in the Bible.” And that’s not all! Echoes of the Bible and its ideas about morality and human dignity can be seen in the works of Augustine, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Melville, Mark Twain, and others including modern writers like Margaret Atwood and JK Rowling. The very languages we speak were shaped by the Bible as translators were forced to stretch English, German, and other European tongues to fully express the meaning communicated in the Bible’s original Greek and Hebrew languages. Philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi writes, “The Bible made the modern West a reading and thinking civilization.” Number 2: Modern science is a product of biblical assumptions. Most of the founders of modern science were Christians. Men like Blaise Pascal, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, and Gregor Mendel believed their discoveries about nature bore witness to the glory of God. And as philosopher of science Stephen Meyer argues, they believed certain things about the universe that made science possible in the first place. The scientific method itself relies on certain assumptions about the world that came from the Bible. This is why empirical science only emerged out of and flourished in the Christian West. The Bible describes a world that was made by God to be intelligible and orderly. As Meyer says, “Because we have an intelligence that has, as its source, the intelligence that built the world, we can understand the world.” This is why we expect consistency and order in nature and why we expect as humans to be able to study and comprehend that consistency and order. Together, these assumptions form the basis of modern science. Far from replacing the Bible, science as we know it owes its very existence to the Bible. Number 3: The Bible is the most influential book on the planet, and will be more influential in the future. Today there are nearly 2.4 billion Christians on earth, more than any other religion. According to LifeWay Research, the number of evangelicals alone has tripled since 1970, and 77% of them live in the global south. By 2050, the number of Christians globally is expected to top 3 billion, and a third of them will live in Africa. In less than 10 years, there will be more Christians in China than in the United States. And of course all these Christians will want bibles. So by 2025, LifeWay predicts that 110 million bibles will be printed every year. That’s 15 million more than are currently printed each year. The Bible has been translated into over 700 languages, and sometime after 2038, Wycliffe Bible translators expects a Bible to be available in every written language on earth. In other words, the Bible has never been more influential on the world’s population than it is right now. Though it may have fallen out of favor in the West, we tend to forget that Western assumptions about life and the world about justice and human rights were built on biblical ideas. If current trends hold, it’s not the Bible, but dismissive ideas about the Bible that will become increasingly irrelevant. So, the next time someone says that the Bible is no longer relevant, here are three things to remember… Number 1: The Bible shaped and continues to shape the Western mind. Number 2: Modern science is a product of biblical assumptions. Number 3: The Bible is the most influential book on the planet, and will be more influential in the future.>> <<@WaveFunctionCollapsed says : 1:00 😂😂😂>> <<@hernanhonoriofortu6802 says : Heaven and earth will pass away but His Words will always remain. Matthew 24:35>> <<@messiahmatrix says : Ricky Gervais is a comedian aka a court jester/ a overpaid clown, he doesn’t understand theology nor is he a man of science either 😂.>> <<@skywalker9770 says : Ricky is correct in asserting that if the bible was lost to history then modern scientific discoveries could not resurrect it because it is the result of witness testimony, same could be said of any book that discusses anything except irrefutable science which could be rediscovered but as Frank points out even modern science becomes outdated because while certain truths about nature can be discovered in any era following the scientific method those theories are not so much incorrect as incomplete. Newtonian physics was modified/replaced by Einstein's theories of relativity so Ricky's comment seems to assume that we know everything that can be known scientifically today but newer discoveries either modify or replace older theories. The speed of light and number of planets in the solar system are likely to remain the same for thousands of years I would assume so if that information was lost it could in theory be rediscovered that yes the speed of light is what is and there are 8 planets and pluto the moon (yes that was once seen as a planet) but I think my point is clear. Some discoverable, foundational scientific facts are likely to remain the same but some will definitely change. The bible has stood the test of time though while scientific discoveries either modify or replace earlier theories... did I overcomplicate that?>> <<@TakashiAmanoOriginal says : That archaeologist has some big titties>> <<@MrAhuapai says : Its actually debatable whether any of the biblical writers were alive during Jesus 'life.>> <<@canadiankewldude says : Num 6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: Num 6:25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Num 6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.>> <<@ottohernandez8818 says : Ricky Gervais will soon be forgotten, name a hit show or celebraty from the 40's ??>> <<@memecity9849 says : I don't think the bible will be forgotten, but its influence will slowly diminish over time>> <<@davidrobbins8941 says : Religion needs to be forgotten, it's totally nonsense 👎>> <<@numberjack2286 says : The Bible hasn't been forgotten for 2000 years, Ricky Gervais will be forgotten in 20 years.>> <<@andrewpepper8031 says : I believe in science not the bible. It's a book of stories that are laughable to people with a questioning brain.>> <<@warwickpayne3338 says : Well said. The spiritual dead will always be amongst us.>> <<@janarends6545 says : No Gervais, you will be punished for what you said. I will punish scoffers and boasters, they will know that I am the Lord.>> <<@octatana says : This is for people who don’t believe that God exists: the greatest creation in their lives is that God gave them free will. Whether they believe in God’s existence or not, God was, is, and will always be! He doesn’t need a human calendar or time to validate His existence!>> <<@ninhil2 says : all religions are made up by men. accept mortality.>> <<@themaestro5946 says : That girl is 🔥>> <<@TheChuckfuc says : David foster Wallace, who wasn't a Christian, talked a lot about cynicism and irony. He stated "the problem cynicism is that it has no redeeming qualities in of itself. It can only point out the flaws of others.">> <<@kennethjuan4318 says : Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away">> <<@lawrenceeason8007 says : Well what probably will happen is the bible/christianity will fade back to a degree and another religion will take over dominance. Religions evolve like anything else>> <<@KarlTravels-zi1oh says : Ricky is smoking on a particular dank strain of Copium.>> <<@murrayrothtard6072 says : Which science textbooks? All of them? No just the ones that are true. Ok well the Bible is true. No it’s not and that’s why it will be forgotten. It’s been around thousands of years longer than any science book…>> <<@David-fu4vi says : If it could be disproven it would have. There are people vehemently trying to do so and CAN'T. And science? I don't think Gervais or this kid are as smart as Galileo, Newton, Kepler, Pascal, Boyle, Faraday, Copernicus, Kelvin, Harvey, Leibniz, Mendel, Bacon, Descartes, Lewis even DARWIN in his later days.>> <<@PeterJamesLumley says : It's sad that Ricky Gervais is seen as higher intelligence than God. He's literally arguing existence and himself not existing. Lol.>> <<@samuelasamoah6801 says : God is not limited, and so is his Word. The bible is an example of how the creator has dealt with humans so far .God has a lot to show us in eternity. The script is still being written>> <<@jamesmcallister9645 says : Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away. May God have mercy on Ricky Gervais.>> <<@UnfilteredMedic says : Gervais is so SMUG and self-centered. It's laughable to think some mere flawed mortal, especially him has it "figured out".>> <<@-djg-3955 says : As Christians we would spread the word generation to generation. I almost guarantee the Bible will exist until God doesn't want it to>> <<@cosyton1 says : That is missinterpetion of Ricky Gervais's argument. Bible is still here just because people put relevancy on it and continue sharing it. If there was a discontinuation, all copies were destroyed and there will not be anyone sharing it orally, it would be completely lost in 100 years. There is no way ro recreate it without copying it. Science on the other hand can be rediscovered even with a long discontinuation. You dont have to read about physical laws in a book, you can measure result of them again and than again come up with the same explanations.. Some theories were wrong, but those theories were just aproximately explanations of things we measured. Theories can be wrong, but actual things they try to describe are there and can be rediscovered again and again.>> <<@MrWhocares51 says : Fun fact. “Blood letting” is still done today in hospitals. Not with leeches of course but there are times where removing blood and throwing it away is the treatment to an issue.>> <<@Healitnow says : You are wrong on your title. There is a real God behind every Christian, and the Bible will be the cornerstone of morality for eternity. The last people that tried to depose God suffered extinction from a worldwide flood. Today the wars are going to accelerate until we are almost all dead, a variation of the days of Noah when only a few survived. This Bible is backed by eternal beings that no person has the power nor intelligence to depose.>> <<@Healitnow says : Excellent answer. One thing that causes me to have strength, is the proof of God, no one seems to talk about. God out thought, and out smarted every PhD and every skeptic centuries ago. No theory against the Bible has ever stood the test of time, yet the answers to all ungodly theories ever thought of, past present and future, are all there. Only God could have an eternity of for site. I have trouble with tomorrow. A more practical point on God is that about 6 months ago I hairline fractured my left leg. I went three months on a walker, then was prayed for, and 10 days later was walking with no walker, crutches or cane with no pain at all. At 75, I should have gradually degenerated and died or at least not healed for a year or more. Instead, I can use this leg like it never happened. This has been true from only three months after the break. At my age, this is naturally impossible. God is real and if many of you ever see this, the benefits of Christianity are enormous. This healing is just one example. If you want to see, experience and understand why we are so loyal to Jesus, start here and begin to see what we see. Here is how. . Here is where to start. Pray This! Jesus I believe in you, forgive me all my sins, come into my life, and help me to live it better, in Jesus' name, Amen. Now find a good church and start reading your Bible, as part of starting your new life as a Christian. God Bless You.>> <<@TheCommo81 says : I didnt witness the civil war. Does that mean it didnt happen? Same goes for the bible. The bible is a historic account just like modern history books.>> <<@barryjaquith8287 says : Amen.Dear Jesus ❤❤❤>> <<@americanuprising7628 says : 90% of history books are remembered and used and throughout history. They've done that when a nation is being attacked. They always preserve its history books, not its science books and the Bible is a history book.>> <<@jacobk4487 says : Heaven and earth will pass away but my word will never pass away . That text alone should show you that the creator will not let it happen. Plus in the 1900s they tried to get rid of his book . There was a great bible burning . And yet it's still here .>> <<@davidrhodes5245 says : Give me one single PROOF that God exists. Just ONE. That’s all i ask for, even the tiniest bit of PROOF…..The ONLY thing religious people can provide is evidence and belief. The Bible is “evidence”, but it is NOT proof. Religious people don’t seem to understand that evidence and proof are not the same thing. Show me PROOF>> <<@jesseorona7737 says : If Science is SO perfect why does it KEEP changing.. GOD'S Word does not Change,Compromise,or come back Void..Hollywood like Hitler tried to destroy the Bible,TOO..Sorry,I forgot the Actor's Name!!>> <<@WY-4491 says : I’m a massive Ricky fan but let’s remember what year it is…… 2024…. 2024 years since what… 👀👀>> <<@tiger-rgn says : great response>>
