believers often like to say that there are questions that atheists can't answer i'm yet
to see any evidence of this it's usually that the questioner doesn't understand the response or just
chooses not to accept it these two south african lads from reformed by christchurch make videos to
help people improve their relationship with god however they made a video in january 2020 stating
that there are two questions that atheists can't answer maybe we should see if we can help with
that
hello i'm the skeptic i watch videos on youtube that make extraordinary claims whether that's
flat earth strange conspiracies or even a claim that a god is real and then explain why i can't
accept their position in this god squad video two fellows explain and i use the term loosely
why it takes more faith to be an atheist so let's see if we can help them understand the
atheist position but before we do don't forget to subscribe hit the bell icon for notifications of
more videos and smash the like button i'm excited to jump into this one now a lot of atheists
claim that they have all the signs on their side and they have all the facts on their side
and they don't require any faith we are christians and we are the ones the christians are the ones
who are just believing in god with blind faith but that is not true hang on i thought you were
claiming that atheists use faith but now it sounds as though you're suggesting that
you don't use faith to reach the conclusion that god is real that must mean this video also has
evidence of god finally it actually requires more faith to be an atheist because we have these major
questions that they wrestle and struggle with and don't have answers for and we as christians
do have the answers for these major questions ah maybe not so the first question is where did life
come from now the famous scientist and atheist richard dawkins said the following you play a
clip well then who did create the heavens and the earth why do you use the word who you see
you you immediately beg the question by using the word who well then how did it get created
well um by a very slow process well how did it start nobody knows how it started
we know the kind of event that it must have been we know the sort of event that must have happened
for the origin of life what was that it was the origin of the first self-replicating molecule
right how did that happen i told you we don't know so you have no idea how it started no no no no no
as anybody nor as anyone else which is correct no one knows for certain but the difference is
we don't fill in the gap with a god or fairies or magic what do you think is the possibility that
there that intelligent design might turn out to be the answer to some issues in uh or in evolution
it could come about in the following way it could be that uh at some earlier time somewhere in the
universe a civilization evolved by probably some kind of darwinian means to a very very high level
of technology and designed a form of life that they seeded onto perhaps this planet love this
part dawkins is throwing out a hypothetical he in no way suggests that it is actually what
happens but i think i see where this is going now that is a possibility and an intriguing
possibility and i suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that if you look
at the um at the detailed details of biochemistry molecular biology you might find a signature
of some sort of designer so even one of the most famous atheists and scientists believe
that life had to come from another form of life and he described that as being aliens yep i saw
this coming dawkins didn't say that was what he believed he just threw it out as one of the many
many many possibilities is there currently any evidence for this scenario none at all
i guess you're just cherry-picking what you want to hear for your own narrative now this just shows
that life had to come from life and that's why we as christians believe that life had
to come from god so because someone suggested that aliens are a slim possibility you believe in god
right because you believe that life could come from aliens then the question is who created
those aliens and who created those aliens the question just continues to go on no
it doesn't we're saying that through a process of natural evolution life came about we don't believe
in a who before you get to say that a god created life you'd have to demonstrate that there is a god
so to say that there had to be an infinite being who has been eternal forever and will be eternal
forever because he is eternal is more or makes more sense than to say that aliens brought life
to earth um actually that doesn't make sense to me so we're at a standoff bring something else to the
table please now firstly atheist i have to put faith in not knowing an answer to this question
even before the question is asked i reject this saying i don't know doesn't take faith carry on
and secondly they have to have faith that it can be anything or it can be aliens they don't even
know the answer to this question actually it's not a faith-based position to say it could be anything
faith is accepting a position without evidence so already your premise is incorrect but as
christians all we have to do is put faith in god because the bible says that we that god breathed
life into adam you see god is the one who put life into humans and the philosopher's stone said that
harry could see himself in the mirror with the stone in his pocket does that mean it happened
so as christians we have the answer to this question that life came from god um actually
you claim to have an explanation but it would need backing up with evidence which you haven't done
and all we have to do is put faith in god now atheists they don't they don't know what to put
faith in but they have to put faith in something and they are putting their faith in saying that
they don't know again it doesn't take faith to say i don't know they are putting their faith in
not having an answer for this question and if you talk to an atheist the common excuse
they often will give you is oh well we didn't know yet later on science will have an answer
but to say that we don't know is a form of faith no it isn't and your lack of understanding about
the definition of faith is irritating because you don't know if it's going to be revealed to us
in 1 000 years let's say that god isn't real so it is a real it real it really takes more faith to be
an atheist and to say that maybe aliens created life than to say i put my faith and trust in an
eternal god creating life now that you mentioned it are one thing that i heard and i think it's so
true and it is that i believe that the god of an atheist is time because whenever they don't have
an answer they just say well give us more time then we'll have the answer we look at evolution
and they see the pieces don't match up how can the earth be so they just add more time they don't
know how everything could have happened so what is their god they explained it by saying give us more
time and there had to be more time for everything to develop the way that he did i'm not even
sure what that incoherent babble was about but i'm just going to disagree yes and that leads us to
the second question that an atheist can't answer is what created everything isn't that the same
as the first question which we've already touched on science has theories and scientific theory is
defined differently to the theory you and i use which are constantly being updated as to where
everything came from how did the universe come to be and of this question can't be answered by an
atheist all they say is well there was there were billions of years ago and the most common answer
that you get is the big bang and that is the best explanation we have at the moment you just choose
to reject it as you can't see past the bible which by the way has no evidence to be the word of god
now the big bang doesn't make any sense because how can something come from nothing and that is
just your lack of being able to grasp the concept of nothing they then start trying to explain how
nothing can come about from nothing and that plants can't come from bloke and that plants
can't come from a broken glass it's actually quite amusing but also a real shame that they can't
grasp how evidence and scientific explanation work but as for answering their two questions
which was actually only one question we can give this a big skeptic i would suggest these guys look
at what faith actually is before claiming it's something that atheists use to reject belief
well thank you for joining me on this video let me know in the section below if you'd like me to
take a look at more extraordinary claims and i can make a video on that too don't forget to hit the
