The multiverse theory can't be tested (and no, I don't subscribe to that hypothesis), so it can't be real. Ok, show me how you could test your hypothesis that god created it all can be tested. If not, then must also be untrue.

Why does it have to be the christian god? How would you go about testing that hypothesis?

His Word says so.

Yahweh is the Author of science, not the other way around. Even though He can't be scientifically tested, science still points to Him as its Author.

@GodSpeed63 No, if it can't be tested, it doesn't exist. That's the point the video you presented was making. Also, other religions would say that it was their god/gods who did all the creating. How can you disprove that?

According to whom?

He was talking about evolution, not God.

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. Isaiah 45:5

Yahweh already did.

@GodSpeed63 External verification required on the last point. But, if science points to god, then god must be able to be proved by science. The latter is a point you've been trying to make for some time now. To demonstrate the existence of something in science, it needs to be testable. Therefore, if the existence of god isn't testable, then god doesn't exist. That is the logical extension of your and the video's claims.

I take it you did watch the video in its entirety? There was also reference to the multiverse hypothesis. But, the fact remains, if it can't be tested, according to the video, it can't exist.

"5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me."
This statement is exactly the reason why I moved away from christian religion in spite of being born into one. This statement could never come from God, if he exist. It can only come from a monster or a devil. God's motto is to guide his followers to follow the path of goodness irrespective of whether we believe him or not. True God doesn't need marketing and advertisements and he will never suggest his followers to advertise for him.
And as a one line answer to this post all I can say is that...[b]Science is focused on unearthing facts and it is never bothered about myths![/b]

@SW-User I agree. Also, if a truly loving and compassionate god did exist, we would all be believers because a truly loving and compassionate god would give us the proof necessary for us to become believers.
SW-User
@Bushranger True. Even though I don't really know anyone who has actually seen God, if the concept of the God is to have his/her followers follow the path of goodness, we don't even need any proof. There is no harm in believing.
In this scenario the God is indirectly forcing people to believe in him showing the threat of hell, and I can't accept such a God. An average wise person doesn't need a promise of heaven to do good things in life!
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@SW-User No person should require the promise of heaven or of a god to do good things in life. Some christians will claim that our knowledge of what is good is given to us by their god. But there are many peoples that have good moral codes and have had no knowledge of the christian god.
SW-User
@Bushranger True and those people are way better than some of these blind followers of the christian God.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@SW-User I have to partially disagree with you here. I've known some very good christians who have been willing to accept the beliefs of others and to accept that the bible, the old testament in particular, is not historically and scientifically inerrant. It seems that it's the more fundamentalist and born again type that are the arrogant ones.
SW-User
@Bushranger Yeah. Sorry. I just noted my mistake and I modified accordingly. I meant about the arrogant ones here who believe theirs is the only God.

@SW-User Thanks a lot!😔
@Carazaa don't be sad 🤗

@littlepuppywantanewlife so many mean people in the world, so sad.
Carazaa · F
@SW-User God's path is good yes, but we are not good. God knows our hearts and he is just to kill us off if we are selfish, and mean. He owes us nothing, yet he came down and saved humanity. We are totally lost without Jesus dying for our sins because humanity was already cursed by God ALL of us, because we are so selfish.

@Carazaa [quote]he is just to kill us off[/quote]

christianity is a death cult

[quote]cursed by God ALL of us[/quote]

Nice guy!
Carazaa · F
@newjaninev2 Yep , He is just and Holy!
Sharon · F
@Carazaa Let me get this straight. You're saying that your god came to Earth as Jesus to save us from the curse he'd inflicted on us. That's really screwed.

@Bushranger [quote] Some christians will claim that our knowledge of what is good is given to us by their god. [/quote]
Yet the bible says it was Satan who gave us that knowledge by advising Eve to eat the fruit of the [b]Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil[b]. Their god was trying to keep that knowledge from us.
Carazaa · F
@Sharon God laid down the consequences of sinning to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden where there was no death. They chose to sin so they and all their kids have to die. It is the consequence of jumping off a cliff. They did not believe God, but they believed Satan. Can't blame it on anyone but yourself. It is what it is.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Carazaa Just and holy like a Mafia boss, apparently
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Carazaa As I said, a death-worshipping cult that blames its victims for the misery it inflicts on them.
Carazaa · F
@newjaninev2 You think that because you don't see your own sins for what they are.
Sharon · F
@Carazaa [quote]God laid down the consequences of sinning [/quote]
You forget that, according to the bible, at that point Adam and Eve had no knowledge of good and evil, they didn't know what sin is.

[quote]They chose to sin so they and all their kids have to die.[/quote]
Why? Punishing children for the supposed crimes of their parents is really sick. Any god who does that is beneath contempt, completely undeserving of worship.
newjaninev2 · 56-60, F
@Carazaa Oh, right... so it’s all my fault?

Victim blaming.

Still, apparently your god will get around to killing me because I annoy it... death-worshipping cult.

What a joke!
