Neil deGrasse Tyson’s 20-Minute TAKEDOWN of Christianity

[Mister Terrific]

Man came from of a drop of semen, was nothing, will go back to nothing and still prideful stating there's no God.

"It's not the eyes that are blind but the heart".

Any rational human being knows that "nothing" don't create something.

I pray for all that God put light in your heart and see the truth.

What created God?

 

[Hov]

Ok what we have seen is consistent across the board and match up with the predictive models scientists have created that prove the Big Bang occurred. It’s like going to a crime scene with the victim on the floor and the killer holding the knife matching the wounds inflicted on the victim and saying well I didn’t check the house down the street.

If for some reason there were irregularities the scientists would then try to figure that out instead of going Dj Khalid “God did”





It’s not dumber because we actually have mathematical equations and predictive models that we can plug in numbers that prove the that at one point the universe rapidly expanded from its highly dense and super hot state. We further more can observe the actions of atoms and how they react when collided with each other at high speeds which produce explosions and the radiation that we observe throughout the universe.

Scientists are constantly testing their equations and retesting and observing and testing. They don’t have the luxury or inclination to point at something they don’t understand and say “must have been magic”


Are mountain ranges blinked into existence? Are rivers? Are oceans? Are deserts? No they are formed by observable phenomena, so why would you believe in magic as the origin of the universe when we see how matter reacts with other forms of matter to produce something new.



Because there are objects in the universe that are older than other objects. For instance the chemical signatures of some suns show that they are older than our sun. If the universe was just “blinked” into existence why would anything be older or younger than anything else?

Also why are we seeing the expansion and cooling of the universe? If it was just “made” why would we see these observable phenomena? Wouldn’t everything be the same age? Why is matter moving from an inflection point? Why is the universe getting colder?



Because we know from radiometric dating that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. We know from observing stars that have burnt through their fuel how long it takes for a star of a certain mass to burn through there’s. Those stars are older than earth.

We can also observe microwaves and light in the universe and estimate how old the universe is.

Again these are all observable and testable. Nobody is coming to these conclusions based on what they read in a book written by desert nomads and agriculturalists who need to an SAT.



Yeah and genies grant wishes and the tooth fairy gives you a dollar for your teeth and Daenerys Targaryeon rode dragons. Anything is plausible in imagination.


One bomb composed of rapidly colliding matter annihilated Hiroshima in milliseconds and produced radioactive material over a vast area. The massive energies involved in the creation of the universe though not the same kind of reaction would similarly produce reaction in milliseconds.




And Paul Atreides will lead the Freman to conquer the galaxy and Frodo will destroy the one ring in the fires of mount doom.

We can all tell stories. That’s not what science is.




Buddhism does not have a creator God.

Not all Christians believe in young Earth though

Because you have to realize - the only thing required to become a follower of The Way (its original name) is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and repent of your sinful nature so that you can fully transformed in your heart.

Now all the “other” stuff isn’t “required” to know, so as you know some people aren’t as studied or can read data or understand complex nuances as others, but it doesn’t matter when it comes to one’s salvation.

With that being said -

The wording of Genesis 1:2 suggests that something already existed before God’s creative work…
The Hebrew wording of Genesis 1:2 (tohu wa-bohu) supports the idea that something existed before the structured creation of the six days. Rather than describing an absolute void or nothingness, it points to a state of disorder, potentially hinting at a prior creation that had undergone destruction or judgment before God brought order in the six days that follow.

This is because most of us read it as formless and void but the Hebrew word used moreso means desolate and chaotic.

As in “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty (desolate and choatic) darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Then And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Which all together seems to suggest a gap period between this new creation and the first day. And other verses say how a thousand years is like a day to God.

Sooooo….studying Hebrew and theology and all that is fun. Because it doesn’t actually go against some scientific principles (like fossils or the age of tree rings etc…it actually supports them!

Christianity in Africa - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

"In the late 15th century, Portuguese traders and missionaries began arriving in West Africa, first in Guinea, Mauritania, the Gambia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone, then Nigeria and later in the Kingdom of Kongo, where they would find success in converting prominent local leaders to Catholicism."

B-but Ethiopia was one of the first converts before Europeans. The idea that white Europeans brought Christianity to Africa is a colonial myth it ignores centuries of African Christian leadership, theology, and missionary work.

What created God?

The "what" or "where" are for creatures.

God created the "what", the "where" and the "how". They are all created by God.

The "what" imply the form, imply the body that has a beginning and an end. Every "what", that you can imagine have a form. God doesn't have any kind of form that we know.

God doesn't incarnate himself in his creation. He's not a body.

The "where" imply the location, time and space. God created time and space, He's not localized "anywhere".

Same thing for the "how". It imply, form, and God created form. He's not incarnated in any kind form possible.

The light, the darkness, the localization, are all creation of God. He's unique and existed before anything was created.

Our simple mind just cannot comprehend it. No matter what kind of image or picture we have in our head. It has form, colour etc. all of these things are creation by God but he doesn't "look" like anything we can picture in our mind.

God is One, he's Unique and Indivisible;
He has never had offspring, nor was He born

So you did not watch the video? Islam was spoken about more than Christianity in the video.


Edit: Some of you assume he was talking against religion, but he really was not. What he was talking against was scientific ignorance and how that ignorance can cause people to stagnate. He has pointed out that 40% of the scientists are religious, but they are not going to make dumb statements like there were Dinosaurs on Noah's Ark, like the ignorant History Teacher did in his example of a scientifically ignorant person teaching children.

Religion and Science are not mutually exclusive. Science seeks to discover answers to the questions of How our reality is and Religion seeks to give answers to the questions of Why our reality exists. They can coexists, which is what he demonstrated was the case for Islam 1000 years ago. That is why most of the brightest stars in the night sky, have Arabic proper names.

Edit2: Also had to add that I am an Agnostic. I admit I have no clue what is beyond our reality, whom if anyone created it, or what the real purpose of our existence is outside of the purpose we give ourselves. I also do not accept any of the explainations given by any of the holybooks on this planet that I have seen and read so far.

Thanks bruh.

I thought I misunderstood because I did not hear where he was bashing religion. I'm subscribed to his channel. He's actually right.

What created God?

You're implying that God is a person. In Christianity, the Father is symbolic for man coming before woman or chicken before an egg but does not imply that God is literally a man or a woman.

"Our simple mind cannot comprehend" isn't good enough for some of us...we wouldn't have ever achieved shyt if that was an acceptable way to go through life.

 

[Dzali OG]

I believe in God and pray to Jesus all day. However I acknowledge i can't prove them.

That's the ego and delusion believers display. No matter what you believe, you can't prove it. There's no evidence for any divinity. Can't meet around that.

So why try? Just keep your beliefs private and stop trying to convince people with no evidence. That's makes you look silly.

 

[Guizmo]

"Our simple mind cannot comprehend" isn't good enough for some of us...we wouldn't have ever achieved shyt if that was an acceptable way to go through life.

I understand your point of view. We achieved a lot of thing within the realm of what our mind can produce, explain and understand. But there's thing that are meant to remain unknown for us.

But just know that there is a lot of things that are too far beyond our mind. There are a lot of signs in the creation that man can't explain, and it's okay. We are not meant to understand everything or a good portion of things in this life.

Man is nothing, and will return to nothing.

Without watching, I’m guessing this nikka could've probably wrapped that talk up in 2 minutes knowing how much Tyson loves talking and hearing the sound of his own voice

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

It's crazy when you see rational people believe in holy books.
They'll completely reject all forms of science just because it refutes what they were taught in whatever religion they grew up in

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

lol facts

black community loves to bash Christianity but will never challenge another religion like they do this

Most of us only know Christianity so that is our frame of reference.

I respect this take.
