  I love killing babies. I love that Jesus.

  We have to give her the word. We have to give her the word.
• 0:15
  But I'm going to keep having them.
• 0:17
  You need. Our God, we
• 0:32
  the None.
• 1:48
  Do you hear what I do? Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:01

• 2:50
  description. All right, so recently the
• 2:54
  Amazing Atheist's brother Scotty the Echo Chamber, he made a
• 2:59
  video directed at me as well as attempted to make an argument
• 3:04
  against God. He used an extremely old
• 3:08
  argument that has been refuted and debunked hundreds of
• 3:11
  thousands of times throughout the ages.
• 3:15
  It's called the flawed design argument.
• 3:17
  Basically, it goes like this. If God is perfect and God
• 3:22
  created everything, then why did he create so much designs that
• 3:27
  have flaws in it? Why does it have problems?
• 3:31
  And he spends a majority of his video talking about the human
• 3:35
  appendix. He says why would God put
• 3:40
  something like that in us? Because it causes trouble for
• 3:44
  our body. It causes issue.
• 3:46
  So therefore, if God designed it, why did he put something in
• 3:50
  our body that shouldn't be there and doesn't serve any kind of
• 3:54
  purpose or use? Because obviously if something
• 3:58
  is designed, it has to have a purpose, right?
• 4:00
  There has to be some logical reason for it to exist.
• 4:04
  And his hopes obviously was that I wouldn't be intelligent enough
• 4:09
  or smart enough to be able to resolve this.
• 4:12
  And therefore according to his brain set, then if you can't
• 4:17
  prove that it serves a purpose, then that must mean that God
• 4:21
  isn't real and there is no intelligent design.
• 4:24
  There isn't no programmer to the simulation.
• 4:27
  There is no purpose and intention behind the universe.
• 4:33
  Well let me ask my AIA question real quick.
• 4:39
  AI, can you explain to me if the universe is rational and logical
• 4:45
  and does it serve a purpose or function?
• 4:47
  Can an argument be made for God? The universe appears to be
• 4:51
  rational and logical because it exhibits a remarkable degree of
• 4:54
  order, consistency, and predictability.
• 4:56
  Brett. The laws of physics, for
• 4:58
  example, seem to apply consistently across time and
• 5:02
  space, allowing us to make accurate predictions about the
• 5:05
  behavior of matter and energy. Mathematical principles and
• 5:09
  equations can accurately describe the behavior of
• 5:12
  everything from subatomic particles to galaxies,
• 5:15
  suggesting a deep underlying order and rationality to the
• 5:19
  universe. In addition, the universe
• 5:21
  appears to follow cause and effect relationships with events
• 5:25
  and phenomena having specific causes and consequences that can
• 5:29
  be studied and understood. This predictability and order
• 5:33
  allow us to make sense of the world around us and to build
• 5:36
  technologies and tools that rely on our understanding of these
• 5:39
  principles. All right.
• 5:48
  Are you able to hear me? I want to make sure before I ask
• 5:51
  you some complicated questions, if you can actually be able to
• 5:55
  verify that you are picking me up.
• 6:05
  Yes. Brett, I can hear you loud and
• 6:07
  clear. Feel free to ask me your
• 6:09
  complicated questions, and I'll do my best to provide accurate
• 6:12
  and thoughtful answers based on the information available to me.
• 6:17
  So recently there was an atheist who made a video to me and he
• 6:21
  claims that the human appendix serves no purpose inside of the
• 6:26
  human anatomy or body. Is this true?
• 6:35
  The appendix is an interesting and often misunderstood part of
• 6:38
  the human body. Brett.
• 6:40
  While it was once thought to serve no purpose, recent
• 6:43
  research has suggested that the appendix may play a role in the
• 6:46
  immune system and in maintaining a healthy balance of gut
• 6:50
  bacteria. In particular, the appendix
• 6:53
  appears to be a safe haven for beneficial bacteria that can
• 6:57
  repopulate the gut after an illness or other disruption.
• 7:02
  However, the appendix can also become inflamed and cause
• 7:05
  appendicitis, a potentially dangerous condition that often
• 7:09
  requires surgical removal. So while the appendix does seem
• 7:13
  to have some purpose, it is not essential for survival and can
• 7:16
  be safely removed if necessary. But you would still say that it
• 7:21
  serves a purpose and has a function, even though it can
• 7:25
  have issues later on in the future, correct?
• 7:35
  Yes, Brett, that's correct. While the appendix is not
• 7:37
  essential for survival and can cause problems in some cases, it
• 7:41
  does appear to have a purpose and function within the human
• 7:44
  body. The appendix may play a role in
• 7:48
  maintaining a healthy immune system and gut microbiome, which
• 7:52
  are important for overall health and well-being.
• 7:54
  So while the appendix is not as vital as some other organs, it
• 7:58
  is not accurate to say that it serves no purpose or function in
• 8:02
  the human body. Can you explain why it is that
• 8:07
  God is referred to as an intelligent designer?
• 8:15
  The term intelligent designer is often used to describe a
• 8:19
  hypothetical being or force that is responsible for the creation
• 8:23
  and order of the universe. Brett The idea of an intelligent
• 8:27
  designer is based on the observation that the universe
• 8:31
  appears to exhibit a high degree of complexity, order, and
• 8:35
  purpose, which some people believe could only have been
• 8:38
  created by an intelligent being. In particular, proponents of
• 8:42
  intelligent design argue that certain features of living
• 8:46
  organisms, such as the complexity of the eye or the
• 8:49
  intricate workings of cellular machinery, could not have arisen
• 8:53
  by chance or through natural selection, but instead required
• 8:57
  the guidance of an intelligent designer.
• 9:00
  For some people, this intelligent designer is
• 9:02
  synonymous with God, while others use the term more
• 9:05
  generally to refer to any hypothetical creator or force
• 9:09
  that may be responsible for the order and design of the
• 9:11
  universe. So you were saying that the
• 9:14
  human appendix, it can get flamed and it can have issues,
• 9:18
  But isn't that true with anything, especially human
• 9:22
  anatomy? You can have problem with your
• 9:24
  hands, you can have problems with your heart down the road,
• 9:28
  you can have issues with any number of things inside of the
• 9:32
  body. But that doesn't necessarily
• 9:34
  argue against design or purpose or its function, correct?
• 9:46
  That's correct, Brett. While the appendix can become
• 9:49
  inflamed and cause problems, this is true of many parts of
• 9:54
  the human body. Even the most essential organs
• 9:57
  and systems, such as the heart, lungs, and brain, can develop
• 10:01
  problems and diseases over time. However, this does not
• 10:05
  necessarily imply that these organs lack design, purpose, or
• 10:08
  function. Instead, the fact that the human
• 10:11
  body can experience problems and diseases may be seen as a
• 10:15
  natural consequence of the complexity and
• 10:18
  interconnectedness of biological systems.
• 10:21
  In fact, the ability of the body to adapt and compensate for
• 10:25
  problems in one area may be seen as evidence of intelligent
• 10:30
  design, as it suggests A level of redundancy and flexibility
• 10:33
  that allows the body to function even in the face of challenges
• 10:36
  and disruptions. So if I were driving down the
• 10:41
  highway in a car that was intelligently designed by a
• 10:44
  human engineer, and that car, at some point in time while I'm on
• 10:50
  my way to work, it breaks down or it malfunctions, or it just
• 10:55
  simply stops and I have to pull over on the side of the highway.
• 10:59
  Would this mean that the car suddenly was not designed simply
• 11:04
  because it broke down at some point in time?
• 11:12
  No, Brett, it would not mean that the car was not designed
• 11:16
  simply because it broke down or malfunctioned.
• 11:20
  All machines, including cars, are subject to wear and tear,
• 11:24
  and even the most well designed and well maintained machines can
• 11:27
  experience problems and failures over time.
• 11:30
  However, this does not negate the fact that the car was
• 11:33
  originally designed and engineered by intelligent human
• 11:36
  beings with a specific purpose and function in mind.
• 11:40
  In fact, the ability of engineers to diagnose and repair
• 11:44
  problems with machines like cars may be seen as evidence of
• 11:47
  intelligent design, as it suggests A level of
• 11:50
  understanding and control over the underlying principles and
• 11:55
  mechanisms that govern their operation.
• 11:59
  Some ask the question, why is there evil?
• 12:02
  Why is there pain in the world? Because there is pain and
• 12:07
  because there is the concept of evil.
• 12:09
  Does this mean that God is not good?
• 12:17
  The existence of evil and suffering in the world has been
• 12:21
  a source of great philosophical and theological debate for
• 12:24
  centuries. Brett.
• 12:26
  Some people argue that the existence of evil and suffering
• 12:30
  is incompatible with the idea of a good and all powerful God, as
• 12:35
  it suggests that God is either unwilling or unable to prevent
• 12:39
  suffering. Others argue that evil and
• 12:41
  suffering are necessary for the development of moral character
• 12:44
  and free will, and that God may allow them to exist for a
• 12:48
  greater purpose or plan. Still others argue that the
• 12:52
  problem of evil is a fundamental mystery that cannot be fully
• 12:55
  understood or resolved by human reason.
• 12:58
  Ultimately, the relationship between God and evil is a
• 13:02
  complex and multifaceted topic that has been approached from
• 13:05
  many different perspectives, and there is no one simple or
• 13:09
  definitive answer to this question.
• 13:12
  Can you explain why it is that if the human appendix fails, why
• 13:18
  this argument doesn't take away the credibility or validity of
• 13:23
  the existence of God? Make an argument.
• 13:31
  Sure, Brett, the failure of the human appendix or any other part
• 13:35
  of the human body does not necessarily undermine the
• 13:38
  credibility or validity of the existence of God.
• 13:43
  Here are a few reasons why. One, the human body is a complex
• 13:48
  and dynamic system, and even the most well designed systems can
• 13:52
  experience problems and failures over time.
• 13:56
  The fact that the appendix can sometimes become inflamed and
• 13:59
  cause problems does not necessarily imply that it was
• 14:02
  not originally designed with a purpose or function in mind. 2
• 14:07
  The existence of suffering and imperfection in the world does
• 14:11
  not necessarily imply that God is not good or all powerful.
• 14:15
  Instead, some theologians argue that suffering and imperfection
• 14:19
  may be necessary for the development of moral character
• 14:22
  and free will, or that they may be part of a larger plan or
• 14:26
  purpose that we cannot fully understand. 3 The existence of
• 14:31
  imperfection and suffering in the world may also be seen as an
• 14:37
  opportunity for human beings to exercise compassion, empathy,
• 14:41
  and creativity in response to these challenges.
• 14:46
  All right, what is the difference between human
• 14:50
  perception of death and God perception of death?
• 14:55
  What is the difference? Human perception of death and
• 15:03
  God's perception of death are likely to be very different
• 15:06
  Brett. Here are some ways in which they
• 15:08
  might differ. 1 Mortality Humans are mortal beings who experience
• 15:16
  death as the end of their physical existence.
• 15:19
  For many people, death is seen as something to be feared or
• 15:22
  avoided. By contrast, God is often
• 15:25
  believed to be eternal and immortal, and therefore not
• 15:29
  subject to the same limitations or concerns. 2 Purpose For
• 15:35
  humans, death is often seen as a meaningless or senseless event,
• 15:40
  or as a tragic interruption of their plans and aspirations.
• 15:45
  By contrast, God may be believed to have a larger plan or purpose
• 15:49
  for human life and death, and to use death as a means of
• 15:53
  achieving a greater good or ultimate end. 3 Suffering Humans
• 15:59
  may see death as a source of suffering or loss, particularly
• 16:03
  when it involves the death of loved ones.
• 16:05
  By contrast, God may be believed to be above suffering or to have
• 16:09
  a different perspective on suffering that allows for the
• 16:12
  possibility of redemption or transformation.
• 16:19
  So for God, since God is eternal of.
• 16:23
  Course, these are just a few general.
• 16:25
  OK, so for God, whenever a human dies, when a human when a human
• 16:31
  dies, what does Christianity claim happens to the life force
• 16:37
  of the human if they're if they've been considered good?
• 16:45
  In Christianity, the fate of the soul after death depends on
• 16:48
  various factors, including one's beliefs, actions, and the grace
• 16:52
  of God. However, in general,
• 16:54
  Christianity teaches that those who have lived a good life,
• 16:58
  believed in Jesus Christ, and repented of their sins can look
• 17:02
  forward to eternal life in heaven.
• 17:04
  Some specific beliefs about what happens after death in
• 17:07
  Christianity include one resurrection.
• 17:11
  Christians believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead,
• 17:14
  meaning that at the end of time, God will raise the bodies of the
• 17:18
  dead and reunite them with their souls. 2 Judgement Christians
• 17:26
  believe that after death, each person will face judgement by
• 17:29
  God, who will determine whether they are worthy of eternal life
• 17:33
  in heaven or eternal punishment in hell. 3 Salvation Christians
• 17:40
  believe that salvation is a gift from God made possible through
• 17:44
  the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
• 17:47
  By believing in Jesus and accepting His sacrifice,
• 17:50
  Christians believe they can be saved from sin and death and
• 17:53
  receive eternal life in heaven. Is death part of God's design
• 18:02
  according to theology? Yes, Brett, According to
• 18:09
  Christian theology, death is part of God's design.
• 18:12
  Here are a few reasons why. One Original Sin.
• 18:16
  Christianity teaches that death entered the world as a result of
• 18:20
  the original sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
• 18:25
  According to this belief, death is a consequence of human sin
• 18:29
  and disobedience and is therefore part of God's plan for
• 18:32
  the world. Two redemptive suffering.
• 18:38
  Christianity also teaches that suffering and death can have
• 18:41
  redemptive value, meaning that they can be used by God to bring
• 18:44
  about a greater good or purpose. For example, the death of Jesus
• 18:49
  on the cross is seen as a sacrifice that brings about
• 18:52
  salvation for humanity. 3 Ultimate Purpose Finally,
• 19:00
  Christianity teaches that death is not the end of human
• 19:02
  existence, but rather a transition to a new and eternal
• 19:06
  life in heaven. In this sense, death is part of
• 19:10
  God's design for human life, as it serves as a gateway to a
• 19:14
  greater and more fulfilling existence.
• 19:19
  So some people would ask, why didn't God design us to be
• 19:25
  immortal, to live forever? What is theology?
• 19:30
  Answer. Respond to that.
• 19:37
  Theology offers a few different responses to the question of why
• 19:41
  God did not design humans to be immortal.
• 19:44
  One, free will. Christianity teaches that God
• 19:47
  created humans with free will, which means that they have the
• 19:50
  ability to make choices and to act according to their own
• 19:53
  desires and intentions. This also means that humans have
• 19:57
  the potential to choose evil and to act against God's will, which
• 20:02
  can have negative consequences, including death. 2 The Fall As
• 20:08
  mentioned earlier, Christianity teaches that death entered the
• 20:12
  world as a result of the original sin of Adam and Eve.
• 20:16
  According to this belief, humans were originally created to be
• 20:19
  immortal, but lost this privilege as a result of their
• 20:22
  disobedience to God. 3 Ultimate purpose.
• 20:28
  Finally, some theologians argue that death is not inherently
• 20:31
  bad, but rather serves a greater purpose in God's plan for
• 20:34
  humanity. For example, death can be seen
• 20:37
  as a reminder of our ultimate dependence on God, or as a way
• 20:41
  to motivate us to seek a deeper relationship with God and to
• 20:44
  live our lives in accordance with His will.
• 20:49
  Thank you for your time, I appreciate your assistance.
