Some YouTube posts

Recently, I've come across a really great YouTube video by user bzel333.  I have found his videos to be very informative and accurate, but this time I had been going through a bit of a season of doubt.  Thanks to bzel333 and this video, my faith has been strengthened.




Then, I came across a number of videos that were published from an atheist perspective.  Following are the videos and my responses:




Even an overwhelming majority is still argumentum ad populam.

These "arguments" are not very good ones, obviously. There are much, much better arguments that the rank and file simply have not been properly taught. There are a number of reasons for this, namely apathy and laziness on the part of Christians.

If you want to see true genius, check out Thomas Aquinas. Ed Feser wrote a really great book entitled _The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism_ that's also worth reading.



I see some problems here. First, you start out discussing the teleological argument, but change to the cosmological argument. The second problem is that neither argument states that something complex must come from something even more complex. This means you have succumbed to a straw-man fallacy.  Furthermore, neither argument states that God came from nothing, but is the first uncaused cause. Finally, the universe did begin, so we can't save a step there.

I've run out of space :)



For the wages of sin is death, BUT the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 3.23, HCSB) ?? I encourage you to read it in it's context. In fact, read the whole book of Romans.

Also, claiming to be a Christian and being saved by the blood of Jesus (and becoming an heir to inherit eternal life) are not the same thing. "For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift" (Ephesians 2:8) Also see Matthew 7:21



While that may be what a lot of people think, it's not what Jesus taught. The video by bzel333 sums it up best:
