- 0:00You might have heard the claim that there is no evidence for
- 0:04God. This is a false statement, any
- 0:09person who holds to a metaphysical position has some
- 0:14sort of evidence. The evidence might be
- 0:18philosophical mathematical or empirical.
- 0:23In this presentation, the intellectual journeys of Albert,
- 0:27Einstein Jan, Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Fred Hoyle Anthony
- 0:34flu, and Alistair McIntyre pertaining to the evidence of
- 0:39God will be outlined. Albert Einstein's, Journey will
- 0:46now be outlined. Albert Einstein was world
- 0:51famous, theoretical physicist who became known as a genius for
- 0:56his general theory of relativity.
- 0:59Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, especially for
- 1:04discovering the law of the photoelectric effect.
- 1:10T' at the beginning of his career Einstein was a staunch
- 1:15atheistic. Materialist during Einstein's
- 1:20time in the early 20th century, the status quo was that the
- 1:25Universe was eternal, and that time was infinite, which was
- 1:31referred as the steady state model when Einstein developed
- 1:36the general theory of relativity, the theory.
- 1:40Along with the cosmological findings during the middle of
- 1:44the 20th century pointed towards the fact that the Universe had a
- 1:49definite beginning. And that time was finite this
- 1:54made Einstein very uncomfortable since that fact would challenge
- 2:00the status quo at the time to avoid this conclusion and the
- 2:05metaphysical implications of his cosmological findings.
- 2:10Einstein desperately invented a fudge factor in his calculations
- 2:16when the Christian astronomer, George lemaitre, corrected
- 2:21Einstein's cock Elations. The fudge Factor was shown to be
- 2:25bogus the universe did, in fact have the beginning for real.
- 2:32The evidence that changed the Scoleri consensus, to accept the
- 2:36beginning of the universe included one.
- 2:40Cosmic background radiation to the Doppler redshift.
- 2:45Syndication of the universe's expansion 3.
- 2:50The second law of Thermodynamics for the equation of general
- 2:56relativity. 5, the equation of special relativity, which is
- 3:02also known as the board. Guth villain can theorem the
- 3:07secular scholar Alexander Villa Stated the following quote.
- 3:14With the proof. Now in place, cosmologist can no
- 3:18longer hide behind the possibility of a past.
- 3:22Eternal Universe. There Is No Escape.
- 3:26They have to face the problem of the cosmic beginning end of
- 3:30quote, Einstein would later admit that the fudge Factor was
- 3:35the greatest stupidity of his life.
- 3:41Einstein later conceded that the Universe had a beginning and
- 3:45that the Universe needed a Transcendent cause external of
- 3:50time and space. The great Albert Einstein had
- 3:55accepted God, Jan, Paul Sartre Journey will now be outlined
- 4:02Jan. Paul Sartre was a world, famous
- 4:05atheist philosopher, and was a Marxist.
- 4:09He supported the regimes of Stalin and Castro, Sartre
- 4:14acquired, the Nobel Prize in literature, The grounding of
- 4:19objective values haunted Sartre, his entire life, where he and a
- 4:25stroke of honesty admitted that quote, if God does not exist, we
- 4:31find no values or commands to turn to which legitimize our
- 4:37conduct. And quote, the problem of evil
- 4:42has a prerequisite, the prerequisite for the problem of
- 4:47evil. Will is that there is an
- 4:50external morality, an external morality is a term that is used
- 4:55to denote. The moral judgments can be
- 4:58applied to other human beings. A few examples of such moral,
- 5:03judgments include genocide murder and rape.
- 5:07The existence of evil must be part of the external world and
- 5:12some things must be actually Wicked in themselves in order.
- 5:18ER, for the problem of evil to emerge in the first place.
- 5:23Hence, the problem of evil gives evidence for moral realism and
- 5:28moral laws and they moral law, implies a moral lawgiver.
- 5:34Namely God, note a moral ontology is referred to ear not
- 5:42moral epistemology. The procedure in which morality
- 5:47was developed, does not explain why morality itself exists in
- 5:51the first place. To use an analogy.
- 5:55The process in which a building is constructed, does not explain
- 5:59why a building was constructed there in the first place.
- 6:04Using the basis, the philosopher yujin nagasawa has developed
- 6:10quote, the problem of evil for atheist end of quote,
- 6:15Additionally, the secular philosopher, JL Mackey did
- 6:19concede that. The problem of evil is, Unable
- 6:23to disprove God. Since God May in principle have
- 6:28a morally. Sufficient reason for allowing
- 6:32suffering JL, Mackie said the following quote, we can conceive
- 6:38that the problem of evil does not after all show that the
- 6:42central doctrines of theism are logically inconsistent with one
- 6:48another and quote Sartre later, admitted that a Moral ontology
- 6:54to ground an external morality could only be achieved in a
- 6:59Transcendent. Being Sartre.
- 7:02Said, the following quote, I don't feel.
- 7:05I am the product of chance, but someone who was expected
- 7:09prepared, prefigured in short of being, that could be here thinks
- 7:16only to a Creator. And this idea about a Creator is
- 7:21referring to God. God and quote, the great Jean.
- 7:25Paul Sartre had accepted God, Albert Camus says Journey will
- 7:31now be outlined. Albert Camus was a world famous
- 7:35atheist philosopher, and novelist who acquired the Nobel
- 7:40Prize in literature. Khemu.
- 7:42Realizes since human beings are a meaning seeking creatures,
- 7:47there must be real meaning out there in the world since human
- 7:52beings. Those are storytelling
- 7:54creatures. There must be a grand story
- 7:57teller and a grand narrative, which can only be sufficiently
- 8:02grounded in Christianity Camus later, said the following quote,
- 8:08I am ready. I want this.
- 8:11This Christianity is what I want to commit my life to end of
- 8:17quote Camus wanted to get baptized the great Albert Camus.
- 8:22who had accepted God, Fred Hoyles Journey will now be
- 8:28outlined and Hoyle was a world famous scientist and an
- 8:33atheistic, materialist where he staunchly defended the steady
- 8:38state model, the evidence pertaining to the fine-tuning
- 8:43argument caused him to accept a designer of the universe Hoyle
- 8:49said the following quote, a common And interpretation of the
- 8:54facts. Suggest that a super intellect
- 8:58has monkeyed with physics as well as with chemistry and
- 9:02biology. And that there are no blind
- 9:06forces worth speaking, about and nature and quote POI losses,
- 9:12said the following quote, if one precedes directly and
- 9:17straightforwardly in this matter, without being deflected
- 9:20by a fear, One arrives at the conclusion, that biomaterials,
- 9:26with, their amazing measure of order.
- 9:30Must be the outcome of intelligent designed and of
- 9:35quote, the great Fred Hoyle had accepted God, Anthony flus
- 9:41Journey will. Now be outlined, Anthony flu was
- 9:45a world famous atheist philosopher for 50 years who
- 9:50fiercely debated Christians. As an undergraduate, he
- 9:55criticized, The Atheist turned Christian philosopher, c.s.
- 9:59Lewis and the socratic Club, where one of his essays ended up
- 10:05becoming the most widely reprinted philosophical,
- 10:08publication of the previous 50 years.
- 10:11After being the world's leading atheist philosopher, for 50
- 10:17years, flu came to the conclusion that there was a
- 10:21designer of the universe. Reverse from the empirical
- 10:25findings surrounding one. The origin of fine-tuning to the
- 10:31origin of DNA's information. Three, the necessity of a
- 10:36Transcendent cause to the beginning of the universe flu
- 10:40explained that the then recent scientific evidence showed that
- 10:45there was insufficient time for life to come into being from
- 10:50non-life Blue said, the Owen quote, I now believe there is a
- 10:56God. I now think it the evidence does
- 11:00point to a creative intelligence almost entirely because of the
- 11:06DNA investigations and quote. Flu also said that quote, the
- 11:12evidence for the resurrection is better than For claimed
- 11:17miracles. In any other religion, it's
- 11:20outstandingly different. in quality and quantity and of

- 11:32Journey will now be outlined, Alistair McIntyre was a world,

- 12:21the implications of their scientific and philosophical
- 12:24findings. Came to accept the existence of
