Transcript of John Lennox Destroys This Popular Atheism Argument
Pastor Daniel | Truth Unleashed
0:00Watch Dr. John Lennox dismantle one of0:02the biggest misconceptions atheists have0:04about faith.0:04>> There's a confusion about faith. Many0:07people have accepted Dawkins' definition0:10of faith as believing where there's no0:13evidence. That's nonsense. Faith is an0:15ordinary word. It's not just a religious0:18word. It's an ordinary word. It means0:20trust. And usually, I suspect that all0:23of you, you [music] don't trust either0:25facts or people without having evidence,0:28or else you're a bit silly. And your0:29bank manager won't trust you with a loan0:32unless you provide evidence of0:34collateral, [music]0:34isn't that true? We all know what0:37evidence-based faith is. But somehow,0:39the word has been spread around by0:41Dawkins and Co. that faith is a vice0:44because it's believing where there's no0:46evidence. That's nonsense. That is blind0:49faith, and it's very dangerous. It's the0:52[music] kind of faith that causes young0:54men to fly planes at the tall buildings.0:57That's blind faith. Christianity is1:00evidence-based. Listen to this. John, at1:03the end of his gospel, he says, "Jesus1:06did many other signs [music]1:08in the presence of his disciples which1:10are not written in this book. But these1:13are written that you might believe that1:15Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of [music]1:18God, and that believing you may have1:20life in his name." In other words,1:21here's the evidence [music] on which1:23faith is based.1:25>> Christianity is not a blind leap of1:26faith. It is rooted in history,1:28eyewitness testimony, fulfilled1:30prophecy, and above all, the death and1:32resurrection of Jesus Christ. Subscribe1:34to see more shorts like this.
