teach me about evolution, why should i believe we were big banged
i don't know if I could teach about it
what's your favorite evolution proof ?
when I think of evolution
I always think of the picture
were you see the ape, and they're
getting better and better
it makes sense ? | yeah
so, improvement inside of a species, right ?
sure | getting better and better
evolution, survival of the fittest
okay, I got a question for you
the whole idea of natural selection and survival of the fittest, and things just organizing themselves
if i'd told you that this watch came together without of watch maker
would you believe me ?
not really, no
i can never make that leap, i can't get past that
i never went to germany or switzerland, or wherever this thing was made
I didn't see the watch maker but i just know there was a watch maker
cause this thing is on my wrist
so how come we think that way toward a watch, but we don't think that way toward
humans, or dogs, or monkeys | I don't know
it sort of like, you look at a painting and you go
there must have been a painter
and i look at all this stuff, the trees, our eyes | there has to be a creator
that's kind of how I concluded thew hole deal | right
do you think that's a compelling enough argument to stake
your eternity on that | probably
are you by any chance a religious guy ? | no
are you an atheist ? | no
agnostic ? | correct
so you just don't know what future holds
may i ask you a question
do you believe that people should use hospitals
to get better ?
yes absolutely | how come ?
why should we even have hospitals as a society
to survive, I guess
so that people can survive ? | yeah
it seems to me, if natural selection is the way to go
when people get sick and infirm
we should just let them die
why fix them up
then the strong people survive, the race is stronger and better, and we get rid of all
those week diseased people
wouldn't that be more consistent with the agnostic evolutionary thought ?
it would, but I don't know if you'd have a lot of people that would be very happy…
yeah, I even hear richard dawkins say
that he doesn't live the way that he actually believes about evolution
because evolution basically would say
we should let old people and sick kids just die
but he doesn't like that idea, because there's something inside of us that says
human life is valuable
do you have any sort of religious background ? | not really
did you grow up in any sort of religious home ? | lutheran
did you get confirmed ? | no
you didn't get that far, do you have any idea what lutheranism teaches ? | not at all
it's okay, that's alright
you wouldn't be the only one
all right, do you have any idea what christianity teaches ? | no, never went to church
basically the crux of it is this that God is the creator
and he has rights to us, he owns us because he's our maker
and he says, because he's a just God when we die he's going to judge the world
according to what we have done
and if that's true
you know we look at the trees and the stars and we go, there's a tree and star maker
and if God is our judge, and he owns us
we should ask ourselves the question how will I do on that day ?
how will I do ?
how do you think you might do if there's a judgment day
I don't know, I guess we'll find out
yes, but okay, so if you had to judge yourself
let's say that you were to judge yourself
what do you think you would do
i mean the stuff that
is that your wife and kids ? | yeah you got a beautiful family
and the corn-dog is getting cool
alright, we'll go really quick
so you judge yourself, sorry dude, they're too hot anyway, they over-cook them
it's alright, it buys you a minute
so if you judge yourself, would you judge yourself a good person or a bad person ?
a good person | how do you know ?
I'm the judge, I don't have to explain it
let's say that the judge has a set of laws, like lying
would he see you as a liar, by any chance | no
have you told lies in your life ? | absolutely
so wouldn't he see you as a liar
no that's making a generalization
if you lie once, it doesn't make you a lier
how many do you have to tell ? | I don't know
did you ever stolen things in your past ? | absolutely
have you ever taken God's name in vain ?
I might have to ask my mom that one
were you ever naughty with your mom ? | you bet
because that's a commandment too
have you ever look with *** ? cause Jesus said that's adultery of the heart
is my wife watching ?
I understood
so the judge sees you
as a lying, thieving
blasphemous, naughty
he's got to forgive me
no he doesn't have to, he'd like to be he doesn't have to
but that would be the only way to let me in
yeah, but he'd have to find you guilty though
there's another way
he can find you guilty, because you're like the rest of us, you are guilty
but he can let you go, if somebody pays you're fine
who's gonna do it ? | that's the million dollar question
Jesus Christ came to this earth
God poured out his wrath that should be directed at you
he poured it out of his own son
so it's a very kind thing, it's an amazing thing
God took the punishment you deserve so that you could stand before him some day
and be found not guilty
not cause you're good, but because your bad and your fine has been paid by Jesus
so i know you want to scoot, but listen very carefully
God would love to forgive you cause if he's true and he's real, and he judges you
you'd be found guilty just like me I've out-sinned you, I'm sure of it
he'd find me guilty and he'd sent me to hell
but that's not God's desire he'd like to save us, so he sent his son born of a ***
to save us by taking our punishment
but we've got to repent
we gotta confess we're not good turn from our sins, apologize, put our trust in Jesus
and the bible says
the minute you do that
he'll make you his child, he'll forgive all of your sins, and grant you everlasting life
so that when you die
you'll go to heaven
not because you're good, but because you're a bad guy who's been forgiven by a good God
right
repentance and faith
dude, you got a gorgeous family
but start with your own heart
it's so important that we figure out what's gonna happen when we die
i can't make you become a christian
but the bible is true
God desires to save you this day
and grant you everlasting life, that's the kind of offer
now the ball is in your court to figure out what you're gonna do with it
enjoy your corn-dog
