Hitchens / McGrath – Religion: The Center vs The Fringe, Pt 3 Why Fight Religion?
Jun 242010


World News Anchor, Diane Sawyer, asks physicist Stephen Hawking about the biggest mystery he’d like solved. He said, “I want to know why the universe exists, why there is something rather than nothing”. He’s so smart yet, sadly, he doesn’t believe in a loving God or personal Savior (Jesus). www.abcnews.com _

    @debbied95 who said the Big Bang was an explosion? It was a massive expansion of space (matter and light) and time.

    @tannersanta
    They could just be white supremicists who consider people like him a defect and think people with his deseise are a hendarence to making the perfect race. I mean the Nazis wanted to get rid of mentally retarded people ( not to be offensive). But on the other hand alot of people through history have killed in Gods name to make the perfect race or to take land God “gave them”

  3. debbied95 says:

    I have a question? Law of Conservation of Matter says matter can neither be created nor destroyed. How then can an explosion cause a universe? And also an explosion = combustion, which = burning. So wouldnt the all the universal matter still be burning. Science discredits its self.
    Science actually originated in Christianity, as the search for understanding of God and His mysteries. God made the laws of physics, humans were left to establish machines and chemical compounds. Just FYI

    @huntwds Consider if a 21st century group went back in time with just the limited amount of tech our science provides. They could restart hearts,replace organs,restart breathing,talk across great distances,fly,breath under water,automatic weapons,smart bombs,nuclear weapons,Hersey bars,TV,youtube,PC’s.laptops,the Pontiac G8(what a car),spacecraft,metals,meds,the list is huge.

    The Adam and Eve myth is not viable due to the limit of genetic diversity. One speculation is that the Earth once became so cold that nearly all human life died.There could have been as few as 50,000 individuals remaining.How did they arrive at this number?Current diversity of genetic code allows this as a minimum number.So it is possible that 6 billion humans came from a smaller number but it was not 2.

    @huntwds that’s actually a good idea, though 2 people is still not enough to repopulate the earth… I saw this documentary, Ancient aliens, you should look it up if you haven’t already, it’s awesome.

  7. huntwds says:

    @xxRockst4r I agree with your point,this concept and many others make it difficult to believe in an all knowing/caring God as the source of our creation,as described in the bible.There may be an advanced race or being that is so advanced and could be the source of the Universe creation but would this being be the bible God,who could know?

    Religions are inherited or accepted emotionally. Both are erroneous paths in the search for truth. Google Doe’s Account.

    the hell is yours:D:D::D se ya` in next life

  10. xxRockst4r says:

    @hwikim31993 Either way, you seem to believe in the story of adam and eve.. Which is HILLARIOUS, cause two people can’t t populate the earth…

  11. xxRockst4r says:

    @hwikim31993 Lol, no.. “WE” didn’t do ANYTHING, we didn’t bring “sin” into this world. God punishes us for something adam and eve did, that’s like me going to prison if you killed someone.

  12. r31ncarnat3d says:

    Completely agreed. With only wooden ships and guns, Cortez was a god to the Natives he came across. Who’s to say that our gods, from God to Zeus to Thor, were not simply beings with a level of understanding and advancement beyond our then-levels of comprehension?

  13. Largegray says:

    Religion OWNED !!!

  14. JMFSpike says:

    @hwikim31993 Well said, man.

  15. brahim121985 says:

    @Sigma1694 exactly

  16. huntwds says:

    @hwikim31993 I am glad that you find solace in your belief in an almighty God may it give you peace of mind. However,I do not share your belief and will go to my grave with many questions.If that dooms me, then so be it,I can only be true to myself.I do not believe in bible creation,I believe in manipulation of DNA by an advanced race is possible,I believe it would not take much to appear as God to primitive humans.

  17. hwikim31993 says:

    @Atrocitas6 no God didnt design us to be slaves destined for failure. lol

  18. Kevdaddy8 says:

    @Ronsam2006 According to me? I simply cited what the scientific standard is, you’ve come to the conclusion on your own that unless there is a physical cause to all things physical then that which caused the physical universe can never be found. That’s a typical presupposition from an atheist worldview. We know that scientists disagreeing is a circle of intellectual debate hoping for evidence to rise to the top, but some things like the law of causality are NOT debated by logical minds.

  19. Atrocitas6 says:

    @hwikim31993
    Right, god designed us to be slaves destined for failure, but he loves us.
    You’re really stupid, ya know that?

  20. dude44ful says:

    did you know stephen hawking is the smartest human in the world X3!!!!

  21. hwikim31993 says:

    @huntwds God never created us so that we can fail. God gave us free will to obey. in the garden of Eden, Adam and eve were given only one command. not to eat the fruit from the tree. God has the power to just not make them eat it but because He loves us, he gave us our own thinking and decision. it’s ourselves who brought sin to this world, not God. we chose to disobey God and to fall away from Him. but the good news is God gave/gives/will give us multiple “second chances”. God is good.

  22. huntwds says:

    @huntwds What’s with the kernaling on that post? Come on youtube that looks wierd, you split flood.

  23. huntwds says:

    Thats another curious thing,was not satan created by God?So God makes humans frail mortal beings and puts them in a world where the God created devil is allowed to exist,tempt,degrade and otherwise bedevil humans until their death.What kind of caring loving God sets humans up to fail?The devil is God’s creation as are things like disease,tornadoes,hurricanes,floods,sharks,hornets,earthquakes,meteor showers,gamma ray busrters(WR104 end of the world may already be on the way)

  24. tj526 says:

    @huntwds i mean what’s in the Bible is what TRUE Christianity is about. Love, forgiveness, integrity, justice, and fear of the Lord.

  25. tj526 says:

    plus the Bible speaks of an afterlife, that we go “somewhere” when we die. It’s simple: you either follow God and obey Him, or you’re against Him and go to hell( depending on the situation). You’re not forced to do either of the above; it’s ur own choice. God gave us all the superior freedom of free will. According to science, however, there’s no hope. When we die…………WE DIE! We just cease to exist. WOW! That’s some hope Dr. Hawking lol.
