There's just something about Prof. John Lennox. I like Ian Hutchinson, Tim Keller, William Craig, anyone who has come to Veritas Forum to talk about this issue, but somehow Professor Lennox has the most interesting way of presenting the problem of scientism. And he can make people laugh.

Thanks, Veritas Forum. For 5 years, I've been listening/watching the lectures for multiple times. What you're doing in YouTube is very valuable.

I've listened to John make these arguments time and time again, and the more I listen, the more they sink in and make sense.

Thank you Professor John Lennox.

John Lennox explains brilliantly and logically without disrespect to others --- an amazing human being! His evidence based arguments further strengthen my belief in God.

Brilliant man, i think his children & grandchildren are blessed to have such a figure in their lives. Imagine this was your grandpa & the great talks youd have

I to find God is real in my life as real as electricity. I might not see the power source of the electricity I know putting my faith in the switch, I will see the results of the light and my faith in the switch, My God my light, Jesus saves the rest enslave. Blessing from Northern Ireland

I believe this is an older discussion though. Just a new posting of it. Still great to be reminded of the very good arguments for God.

It's amazing how "Science" hides these guys with a passion. When he said 40 percent of Scientists believe in a God I would have to completly agree. I remember a good documentary on the un written rule and war on academics that dare to admit in a creator. Many people have lost their jobs and the ones that didn't stay pretty quiet about it.

I have two very rare disorders of both my eyes and ears, so you can imagine how many doctors I've seen especially specialist.

One question I always ask them is "do you believe in God"? Around 80 percent willing to answer always reply with a an astounding yes. This notion that no one in science believes in stuff like that is simply not true. Science demands a creator. Especially when you start getting into genetic code. It's almost like we are mimicking our designer when we create programs for computers. DNA is way more complex. Personally Im fond of Astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross. He's amazing at explaining science and the Bible. His books are worth every dime. It's Amazing!

His professor, Polkinghorne, is still living and is an open theist. So encouraging.

Downloading for posterity! Very well thought out simple straight forward talk on God.

A brilliant and humble scientist and mathematician, Dr J Lennox ❤️🇬🇧✌️👍👍👍👍👍

[dillybug]

I'm not sure the people asking the questions at the end, actually listened to his lecture.

[leroybroun]

what has become the most mind boggling absurdity is that the greatest minds in science have concluded that there is no mind. can we trust science when it begins to discount what is self-evident? is science even possible when it discounts what is self-evident?

The first step/rule of enlightenment is:
*There is a God and I am not him.*

[mermer]

If anything, for me, science proves the existence of God every day. DNA is too perfect across thousands of species to have come from billions of random anomalies.

[AndrewGulickTrueVitalityPlus]

People that convince others to abandon God to their belief of atheism, will be held responsible for those lost lives. Their punishment will be greater than if they had not deceived others.

Brilliant talk.... Good help us to open our minds 😊

[billstephens]

Only a fool has said in his heart (i.e., mind), there is no GOD.

When one anthropomorphizes his or her existence...then religion reigns...when one realizes the utter unbelievability of the Universe...one stands in awe...I cannot say more...
