Lennox Vs. Dawkins Debate - Has Science Buried God?



Oxford Museum of Natural History hosts this fascinating and controversial debate on the existence of God. Professor John Lennox explains how science points to an intelligent creator and Richard Dawkins offers a counterargument. When Dawkins was asked if he ever considered God, he said, ""Yeah maybe I have, but if I have, so what? It doesn't make it true. That's what it matters." To this I'd like to ask him, how does he know if "it" is not true? Haven't seen any evidence? How does it matter to the very existence of God? Does God disappear just because you think you haven't seen any "evidence?" Someone is appealing to his own ignorance here if you ask me. ;) BTW, why would God have any need to create any other gods anyway? vid by : fixed-point.org

  1. Lennox: according to historical evidence of the testimony of Jesus and resurrection it has been proven and no one i have spoken to has stated Jesus never existed.

    Dawkins: everyone i spoken too says otherwise, they state Jesus didn't exists, i don't know who you where speaking too!


    Me : Dawkins you were actually lazy and had not done any actually research or speak to actual historian on the matter of Jesus or the evidence there of, Hence you lied in your book.
  2. Call me a heretic, but I think Dawkins is not a good representation. Peter Singer vs Lennox debate was way better. Dawkins is good at not believing but not so goot at convincing others.
  3. Psalms 14:1
    The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
  4. I was worried for Dr. Lennox in this discussion, and it was starting to seem like a beat down, but he really pulled a 180 and found his footing at about 40 mins. Became a proper discussion of ideas, rather than a "win" for Dr. Dawkins.
  5. atheists are vestigial .
  6. Close off the comment section, leave the like/dislike bar, please. The edginess wafts over me
  7. Here's Lennox with this 'mindless' unguided process speech again (see his other videos). He's a bizarre man.

    Babies are mindless and unguided but they're still conscious and have latent intelligence, they just cant communicate it yet! Are they a product of a God?

    This is always Lennox's downfall. Human beings are the stuff of the Universe made conscious, that means atoms themselves have intelligence (and why cant it be them rather than a God? He never brings that up yet atoms are there for all to see), but it can (seem to) be 'mindless' until random selection brings the right kinds of atoms together. It took 15 BILLION years for this unity to happen folks, it was NOT an overnight sensation. The human race took 15 billion years to develop. That is not the product of an intelligent guiding hand! Lennox doesnt seem to think this is relevant

    Lennox talks about the duff science of creation (he's only a mathematician after all folks, lets not get over-excited here) yet ignores the sheer physical time-frame it has all taken to happen.

    15 BILLION YEARS. 15 B_I_L_L_I_O_N__Y_E_A_R_S. ......CAN YOU HEEEEEAR MEEEEE...15 billion years is an unimaginably long period of time. Randomness creates patterns, flick a coin and see that if it ends up not being 50:50 then a pattern is born. Some patterns take years, cosmic years in some instances ie human beings. All random, all real. There was ALWAYS a real chance human beings would not be created as much as there was a chance it would happen.

    An all powerful superbeing didn't take 15 billion years to realise the best form a human being can take is the same one he saw when he looked in the mirror!!!!!

    Seriously, get on with your lives without this shit in it. Be happy with it, be happy with science and the mysteries we haven't yet solved, but be safe in the knowledge science will guide us, not these mad god-botherers and bringers of religious wars and conflicts.

    Lennox is the worst I've seen though
  8. There Is no need to be nasty in comments. Sorry if evolution chose a moron like dawkins as its spokesman..😂 maybe evolution should step in and replace him, you know survival of the fittest, maybe an intermediate specimen, a Dawkins with a bad wing.
  9. Why do whales have 5 fingers inside their fins? Because they are mammals! If Adam and Eve had two sons and one killed the other, who did they marry? Or if they had sisters did they marry their sisters?
  10. It is exactly how a debate should be - it is looking for truth with such eagerness and skill - it even touches the veil of truth perhaps, (I do not know). There is something of truth's aura here.
  11. so what did this so called Lennox proved here ? any intellectually theist can answer me
  12. Religion = Magic Show.
    Created by man, for man.
  13. And the award for the Stupidest Comment Section of Any Youtube Video Ever goes to...







    well, not this one, it's too fucking stupid to even get an award.
  14. The word this debate lacked was "Observation"
    Everything we relate to reality is observed and tested to some degree, thats a fact.
    Show me 1 thing in the entire universe that comes from a complex state into a simple state I dare u Lennox...

    We even see that the universe had simple begginings (Big Bang)
    To assume that there was something before, that is coplex and inteligent like a god from the start is just mind boggling such ignorance.

    NO SHIT COMES FROM COMPLEX TO SIMPLE ITS ALWAYS THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
    Even if that werent true do complex things have to be inteligent? My dog is complex but dumb as fuck, the sun is complex , no reason to belive coplex things need to be inteligent
  15. Damn! This wasn't a debate, John was schooling Dawkins. And Dawkins knew it. Look at his face. He wants to home now!
    Thanks Teach! Intelligence with a humble heart.
  16. lmaoooooo lennox made dawkins look elementary
  17. dawkins is blind and its automatic lol
  18. Lennox is one of the worst debaters ever.
  19. Richard Dawkins has to be the most faithless arrogant idiot who ever walked this earth
  20. Why is it so hard for these men to conceive of God/Architect that created the mechanism of gravity? Because that is obviously the answer.
