1
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,189
When it's coming apart, you had it all
2
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,875
It wasn't enough
3
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,429
No, it's not enough
4
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,197
They tell you it's not worth the price
5
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,676
So just let it go
6
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,354
But you know you can't
7
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,953
You know you won't
8
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:56,268
It's not easy, no, finding the words to say
9
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:03,918
When you're feeling lost,
you'll find your way
10
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,590
The world is so broken and
sometimes it leaves you cold
11
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,349
At nighttimes you can't feel
the fire to guide you home
12
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,836
The demons will harm you and
try to steal what you know
13
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,555
But the angels, they brought you
14
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,958
And they're gonna hold you up
15
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,397
They're gonna hold you up
16
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,433
They see the fear in your eyes
17
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,677
Heart sinks like a stone
18
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:59,669
'Cause when you're afraid,
it weighs on your soul
19
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,990
When the timing is right,
somehow you'll know
20
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:17,154
When nobody stands, stand on your own
21
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:27,079
It's not easy, no, finding the words to say
22
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,189
When you're feeling lost,
you'll find your way
23
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,237
The world is so broken and
sometimes it leaves you cold
24
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:51,190
At nighttimes you can't feel
the fire to guide you home
25
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,039
The demons will harm you and
try to steal what you know
26
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,315
But the angels, they brought you
27
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,752
And they're gonna hold you up
28
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,594
They're gonna hold you up
29
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,518
They're gonna hold you up
30
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,158
They're gonna hold you up
31
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,792
They're gonna hold you up
32
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,908
- Name?
- Wheaton. Josh Wheaton.
33
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,553
You got your
pre-registration sheet?
34
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,398
Yeah.
35
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,639
All core requirements are here.
36
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,229
What is your humanities elective?
37
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,839
Philosophy 150.
38
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,277
Radisson, 11:00 on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday.
39
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,875
You might want to think about
a different instructor.
40
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,479
Because?
41
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,380
Let's just say you're
wandering into the snake pit.
42
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,399
I'd recommend Patel or maybe Mueller.
43
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,313
Come on, man.
It can't be that bad.
44
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,839
Think Roman Colosseum, lions,
people cheering for your death.
45
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Yeah, but I'd have to
rearrange my whole schedule.
46
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,473
I don't think I can really...
47
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,318
It's your funeral.
48
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,474
Last drop date is the 22nd.
49
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,592
You might want to keep that in mind.
50
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,279
You're done.
51
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,471
- Thanks.
- Yeah, have a good semester.
52
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,111
- Hi.
- Martin Yip.
53
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,716
What does
P.R.C. stand for?
54
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,632
People's Republic of China.
55
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,711
Oh. Seriously?
56
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,309
Oh yes, always serious.
57
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,272
Okay.
58
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,198
You've gotta be kidding me!
59
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,910
White & Wolfe, how can I help you?
60
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,519
Yes, please hold.
61
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,153
White & Wolfe.
62
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,918
Mm-hmm, I will let 'em know
you called.
63
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,519
Thank you, bye-bye.
64
00:05:25,668 --> 00:05:27,335
Buy as much Tochigi Heavy Industries
65
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,918
as you can on-margin.
66
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,519
We've gotten wind of a merger
67
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,548
and the Japanese could care
less about insider trading.
68
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,470
You're gonna thank me for
this one, I guarantee it.
69
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,919
You're on with Marc.
70
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Hey, I need you to give me directions.
71
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,159
You're kidding, right?
72
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,799
No, somebody stole my GPS
73
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,070
and my phone has decided that
it is spinning propeller time.
74
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,721
Can't do it.
The Nikkei just opened
75
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,592
and there's a massive
sell-off going on.
76
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,155
Oh, and by the way, I made
reservations for us Friday
77
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,759
at La Rive Gauche.
78
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,520
Wait, you'll take me to La Rive Gauche
79
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,155
but you won't take the time
to give me directions?
80
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,954
What's in it for me?
81
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,230
You're kidding, right?
82
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,873
You're serious.
83
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,310
Okay, well, I'm on my way
to an ambush interview
84
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,954
of Duck Commander Willie Robertson,
85
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,673
and I am going to crash that party
86
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,711
and hold his feet to the fire.
87
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,480
And yesterday's discrete
web hits were over 32,000,
88
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,672
which means I am on pace for
over a million views this month
89
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,359
and my...
90
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,790
own advertisers.
91
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,479
That's my girl!
92
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,796
Not just another pretty face.
93
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,115
Miss Shelley, I've got something
special for you today.
94
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,639
Think you're gonna like it.
95
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,633
Oh my, chicken!
96
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,317
I don't know when was the
last time I had chicken.
97
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:58,118
That would be yesterday,
for lunch and dinner.
98
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,709
Are you serious?
99
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,549
I don't think that she should
have the same thing every...
100
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,755
You think of anything else
gonna make her that happy?
101
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,358
Is it okay if I help?
102
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,394
Oh, alright, alright.
103
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,433
You're new here, aren't you?
104
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,073
It's me, Mom.
105
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,078
Mina, your daughter.
106
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,036
I'm sorry, I don't...
107
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,869
It's okay, it's okay.
108
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,869
I don't see a ring.
109
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,799
It's complicated.
110
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,276
I am Professor Radisson and
this is Philosophy 150,
111
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,193
Introduction to Philosophical Thought.
112
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,874
If either of those facts is news to you,
113
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,517
then now would be your turn to leave.
114
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,439
I understand some of you are here
115
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,918
to satisfy your Liberal
Arts elective requirements.
116
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,281
If you're looking for an easy
grade without much work,
117
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,312
well, then now would be your turn to leave.
118
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,272
See, you've now enrolled at a university.
119
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,916
You'll be expected to produce
university-level work.
120
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,317
Pfft, I'm out.
121
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,755
There's always one.
122
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,679
Michel Foucault, Bertrand Russel,
123
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,713
Ludwig Feuerbach, Bertolt Brecht,
124
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,229
Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn
Rand, George Santayana,
125
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,795
Democritus, Denis Diderot, David Hume,
126
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,673
John Stuart Mill, Albert
Camus, Richard Dawkins,
127
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,599
Sigmund Freud, Noam Chomsky.
128
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,756
The list goes on.
129
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,073
Philosophers, poets, scientists, authors,
130
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,353
towering intellects, all of them.
131
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:43,715
But what do they all have in common?
132
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,199
Yes?
133
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,277
They're all dead.
134
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,080
Well, that would be incorrect.
135
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,955
Mr. Dawkins and Mr. Chomsky are
still very much alive, Mister...
136
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,789
G-dog Gerard Trigga.
137
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,831
G-dog.
138
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,508
Anyone else?
139
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,359
No one?
140
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:13,193
Well, they are,
or were... atheists.
141
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,279
Based on the 16th-century
French "athéisme,"
142
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,198
from the Greek "theos," meaning "God,"
143
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,833
and from the prefix "a,"
144
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,881
meaning, as it always
does in Greek, "without."
145
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,030
In short, each of the thinkers I named
146
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,834
took the strong position
that there is no God,
147
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,634
as opposed to the weak
position of agnosticism.
148
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,832
"Gnostic," from the Greek
"gnosos," to know,
149
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,837
and again, with the prefix
"a" meaning to not know,
150
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:44,071
or more accurately, to doubt the
existence of a supreme being.
151
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,189
This semester, I propose that we refuse
152
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,392
to waste our limited time
together debating the existence
153
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,354
of the big man in the sky,
the myth of a benevolent,
154
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,996
all-powerful,
supernatural being.
155
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:09,873
- Hey!
- How was your flight?
156
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,672
- Wonderful.
- Wonderful?
157
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,279
It's like
a 30-hour flight.
158
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,238
Thirty-six.
159
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,879
Great to see you.
160
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,718
Nice to see you.
161
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,914
Dakar to Zurich, Zurich to Frankfurt,
162
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,678
an 8-hour layover,
163
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,996
and direct to Carter International.
164
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,633
Ugh, how does that translate as wonderful?
165
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,278
I'm happy, I'm safe, and now
I'm here because God is good.
166
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,913
All the time.
167
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,519
And all the time?
168
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,352
God is good.
169
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,112
God is dead.
170
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,390
This is, of course, a metaphor,
171
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,078
but an illustrative one meaning
not that God has somehow died,
172
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,590
but rather that he never
existed in the first place,
173
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,439
other than in the depths of
our forebears' imaginations.
174
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,349
He was a useful fairy tale in ages gone by,
175
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:08,439
when his fiery anger was
used to explain away plagues
176
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,437
and crop failures, diseases and disasters,
177
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,996
which we now ascribe to
bacteria and viruses,
178
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,679
chromosomal disorders, and plate tectonics.
179
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:22,359
In short, science and reason
have supplanted superstition,
180
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,358
and we are all the better for it.
181
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:26,993
And with your permission,
182
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,441
I would like to bypass this
senseless debate all together
183
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,959
and jump to the conclusion
184
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,390
of which every sophomore
is already aware of:
185
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,949
there is no God.
186
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,355
All that I require from each of you
187
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:40,560
is that you fill in the
papers I've just given you
188
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,834
with three little words:
"God is dead,"
189
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,473
along with your signature.
190
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:49,360
The sooner we reach a unanimous consensus,
191
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,799
which I expect we will,
192
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,156
I will be spared the tedious duty
193
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,080
of slogging through dry
and dusty arguments,
194
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,429
and you will bypass the
section of the course
195
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,471
in which students have
traditionally received
196
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:05,198
their lowest grades of the semester.
197
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,599
And when you finish, please
pass your papers to the right.
198
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,912
Thank you.
199
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,472
Thank you.
200
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,990
Oh, a lower case "g."
201
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,636
Maybe this one ought to get extra credit.
202
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,876
Thank you.
203
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,672
Excuse me, Mister...
204
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,350
Wheaton.
Josh Wheaton.
205
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,836
Mr. Wheaton,
is something wrong?
206
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,837
Yeah, I can't.
207
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,473
I can't do what you want.
208
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,113
I'm a Christian.
209
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,719
Oh, don't worry.
210
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,558
You can still go back to your dorm room
211
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,193
and sink to your knees
212
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,961
and pray to your bedside if you'd like.
213
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,792
What you do in your personal
life is your business,
214
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,190
but what you do in this class is mine.
215
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,038
I can't.
216
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,675
Alright, Mr. Wheaton.
217
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,156
Allow me to explain the alternative.
218
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,715
If you cannot bring yourself
to admit that God is dead
219
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,319
for the purposes of this class,
220
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,949
then you will need to defend the antithesis
221
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,593
that God is not dead.
222
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,791
And you'll need to do it
in front of this class
223
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,036
from the podium.
224
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,751
And if you fail, as you shall,
you will fail this section
225
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,713
and lose 30% of your final
grade right off the bat.
226
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,832
Are you ready to accept that?
227
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,520
Well, who would decide whether I won
228
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,636
or lost the argument?
229
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,359
Well, I would.
230
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,039
It's my class, my rules.
231
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,673
Grading's my prerogative.
232
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:13,153
No disrespect, but I'm not
sure you can be objective.
233
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,715
What would you propose?
234
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,031
Well, what about them?
235
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,673
Well, that's interesting,
236
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,394
but why would I want to empower them?
237
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,000
Well, you've already won them over.
238
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,077
I mean, I'd have to unconvince them,
239
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,677
get them to admit they were wrong.
240
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,240
Alright, Mr. Wheaton.
241
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,873
You'll get 3 sessions,
242
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,833
the last 20 minutes of each
of the next 3 classes,
243
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,952
to make your case.
244
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,233
I promise to keep my
interruptions to a minimum.
245
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,721
You may take whatever questions
you'd like from the class,
246
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,194
but I will not increase your allotted time.
247
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,879
Of course, you'll be responsible
248
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,469
for all the other class assignments.
249
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,352
But, you know, you could change your mind
250
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,393
and bring in your signed
statement at our next class,
251
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:15,232
and we'll go forward as though
none of this ever happened.
252
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,274
The rest of us, having dispensed
with primitive superstition,
253
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,358
will turn our focus to the
issue of being in reality.
254
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,391
For our next class,
255
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,239
please have read David Hume's
"The Problems of Induction"
256
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,877
and Renee Descartes' "Discourse on Method,"
257
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,038
to which you may add Bertrand Russell's
258
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,117
"Why I Am Not a Christian"
259
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,518
in preparation
for Mr. Wheaton's lecture
260
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,269
and in thanks for his
failure to help us reach
261
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,671
a unanimous consensus.
262
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,190
You don't want to deny
your faith, I get it.
263
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,630
So, the answer's simple:
drop the class.
264
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,513
Yeah, but I'm not sure I can do that.
265
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,315
I feel like God wants
someone to defend him.
266
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,353
Don't be ridiculous.
267
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,879
I don't know, I just keep thinking
268
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,911
of that C.S. Lewis line,
269
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:25,477
"Only a real risk can
test the reality of a belief."
270
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,247
So, you're gonna risk our future
over your yearbook quote?
271
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,796
Josh, why am I here?
272
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,434
Hello, earth to Josh.
273
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,915
Why am I, Salutatorian
of our graduating class,
274
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:38,917
here at my
third-choice school?
275
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,680
I'm sorry for having the next 50 years
276
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,193
of our life planned out.
277
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,799
That's just who I am.
278
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,439
I don't know, Kara,
it's just...
279
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,774
Josh, I love you, but I
absolutely forbid you
280
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,637
to go up against this professor
in his own classroom.
281
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,359
We have too much at stake.
282
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,761
The whole thing's rigged to
make you look like an idiot,
283
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,392
and if you want to get into law school,
284
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,080
you can't afford to flunk this class.
285
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,277
Even a "C" could be disastrous.
286
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,912
I don't know why you wear those heels.
287
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,553
What's wrong with 'em?
288
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,280
You're too tall.
You're taller than me.
289
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,799
You're man enough to handle it.
290
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,594
I'm just saying, I don't want
to be the short guy at the prom.
291
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,233
Mr. Robertson!
292
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,873
Hi, or should I call you Willie?
293
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:30,519
You can call me Willie.
294
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,312
Amy Ryan,
I blog "The New Left."
295
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,953
Can I ask you a few questions?
296
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,761
Yeah, sure, fire away.
This is my wife...
297
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,153
Korie, I know.
298
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:39,157
I'm actually surprised to see you here.
299
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:45,276
I thought you'd be home,
barefoot and pregnant.
300
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,199
I haven't been barefoot and
pregnant in a really long time.
301
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,833
I do kinda miss those days, huh?
302
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,680
Yeah, you want to start
again? We can try.
303
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,359
No.
304
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,040
You've made a fortune selling devices
305
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,078
that are designed to lure
water fowl to their deaths.
306
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,117
Oh, I guess when you say "you,"
307
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:02,999
you're referring to the
whole group of my family,
308
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,673
which would be "y'all."
309
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,393
You can just
change it to "y'all."
310
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,033
That'd be an easier expression,
311
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,760
that way it'll get everybody in there.
312
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,760
So, y'all have made a
fortune, isn't that right?
313
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,319
We're doing alright.
314
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,954
We can certainly buy
bigger tires on our trucks
315
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,920
and four-wheelers
to get out in the mud with,
316
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,439
so life is good.
317
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,441
What makes you think you
have the moral right
318
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,472
to go around maiming and
killing innocent animals?
319
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,631
Hey, look, let's just
get one thing straight.
320
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,273
I ain't maiming nothing.
321
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,750
Whatever I see and I aim at, I shoot.
322
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,394
When I shoot it, I kill
it and then I eat it.
323
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,999
So, you do kill those ducks?
324
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,031
Of course I do.
What am I gonna do,
325
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,674
cook 'em while they're still moving around?
326
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,313
That would be cruel.
327
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,919
That'd be bad.
328
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:44,480
So, this isn't an act? You're
actually proud of what you do?
329
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,393
Of course I am. Why would I
do it if I'm not proud of it?
330
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,033
And you go along with everything he says?
331
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,639
We've been married for 20 years.
332
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,637
I don't go along with everything he says,
333
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,035
but on the things that matter, yeah,
334
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,151
I agree wholeheartedly.
335
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:00,511
So, what do you say to people
who are offended by your show,
336
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,239
not just because of the hunting,
337
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,671
but because you openly pray
to Jesus in every episode?
338
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,348
Hey, we're not trying to
offend anybody, alright?
339
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,120
If they don't want to watch the
show, they can turn the channel.
340
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,713
As far as my praying to Jesus,
341
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,071
my life and my whole
eternity belongs to God.
342
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,956
All this stuff is temporary:
the money, fame, success.
343
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,593
Temporary.
344
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,279
Even life is temporary.
345
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,232
Jesus, that's eternal.
346
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,839
Jesus said this:
347
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,957
"Whoever acknowledges me before men,"
348
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,760
he will acknowledge before
the Father in heaven.
349
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,549
"Whoever disowns me,
I'll disown him to the Father."
350
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,354
Now, those words are written
in red so they're important.
351
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,993
And that's it?
352
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,761
That's it.
That's what we're going with.
353
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,239
Pretty simple, isn't it?
354
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,873
Thanks for your time.
355
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,681
Come on, let's go do some acknowledging.
356
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,119
You're welcome to join us.
357
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,675
No thanks, I'm good.
358
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,279
You're good?
359
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,919
Alright.
360
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:56,872
Who was that lady?
361
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,350
You're beautiful.
362
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,791
I wish you didn't have to do that.
363
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,070
It's for my father.
He's very traditional.
364
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,916
Who were you talking to?
365
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,958
No one.
366
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:06,953
Ayisha, I know it's hard
living in their world
367
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,674
and being apart from it,
368
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,908
a world you can see but can't touch.
369
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,595
I know they seem happy,
370
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:27,432
but know that when you look
around at all those people,
371
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,953
there is no one who worships God,
372
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,991
not the way he deserves and
demands to be worshipped.
373
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:48,039
We must never forget who and what we are.
374
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,552
That is the most important thing.
375
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,631
Yes, Baba.
376
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:05,159
I only insist on this because I love you.
377
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,391
You know that, don't you?
378
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,636
That I love you?
379
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,991
Of course, Baba.
380
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,315
Can I help you?
381
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:06,312
You waiting for someone?
382
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,954
Yeah, you could say that.
383
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,312
It looks like he's out at the moment.
384
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,718
Well, maybe that's why he sent me.
385
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,758
We are the ones and zeros
386
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,714
The beautiful incomplete
387
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,358
We are the future heroes
388
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,270
A colorful symphony
389
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,074
We are the ones
390
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,679
I could drop the class, run away,
391
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,319
pretend like it never happened,
392
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,829
which is what my girlfriend wants.
393
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,192
I could sign the paper saying
something I don't believe.
394
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,039
Or I commit academic suicide
in front of a live audience
395
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,710
by trying to prove that God exists.
396
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,832
How many people in that class?
397
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,429
Eighty maybe.
398
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,596
And how many of them do you think
399
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,233
would ever step foot in here,
400
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,795
or any other church for that matter?
401
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,116
Well, none probably.
402
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,231
So, your acceptance of this challenge,
403
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,635
if you decide to accept it,
404
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,671
may be the only meaningful
exposure to God and Jesus
405
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,395
they'll ever have.
406
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,079
Yeah.
407
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,713
Yeah, I suppose so.
408
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,238
Check out
Matthew 10:32-33.
409
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:40,076
What, that's it?
That's all?
410
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,918
Yeah.
411
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,274
Just a Scriptural citation?
412
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:48,919
If you're still undecided after that one,
413
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,554
Look at Luke 12:48.
414
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,557
It can't be that simple.
415
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,159
Sure it can.
416
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,119
You're here because that
still small voice inside you
417
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:02,069
isn't happy with the choices
everyone else wants you to make.
418
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,147
Personally, I think it's the
Holy Spirit talking to you.
419
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,999
That's how he interacts
with us if we allow him to.
420
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,599
All you have to do is decide
421
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,552
whether or not you're willing to listen.
422
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,992
It's not easy, but it's simple.
423
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,072
"So everyone who
acknowledges me before men,
424
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,193
"I also will acknowledge before
my Father who is in heaven,
425
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,198
"but whoever denies me before men,
426
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,713
I also will deny before
my Father who is in heaven."
427
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,791
"Everyone to whom much was given,
428
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,639
"of him much will be required,
429
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,116
"and from him to whom they entrusted much,
430
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:21,830
they will demand the more."
431
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,273
Sorry I'm late.
432
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,869
I had to move a ton of stuff
around just to get here.
433
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:13,519
That's alright.
434
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,278
Please, go and have a seat
Ms. Ryan.
435
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:19,918
Oh, excuse me a second.
436
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,800
We've gotten your results back
from your test the last week.
437
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,873
Okay, as I was saying...
438
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,836
I'm so sorry.
I have got to take this call.
439
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,678
Amy.
440
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,194
Your results came back positive.
441
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,113
You have cancer.
442
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,310
I don't have time for cancer.
443
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,919
I'm too busy.
444
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,879
Listen, it's already grown
into the surrounding tissue.
445
00:28:54,095 --> 00:28:56,095
Your lymph nodes are involved
and your blood markers indicate
446
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,350
evidence of distant metastasis.
447
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,551
Now, I've already scheduled you for an MRI.
448
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,075
We need to determine the extent of it.
449
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,077
I know you're very important
450
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,669
and the world can't get along without you,
451
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,279
but it's my job to let you know
452
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,835
that it may be preparing
to do exactly that,
453
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,431
and it certainly will unless
you begin immediate treatment.
454
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,438
Do you understand?
455
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,792
Hey babe.
456
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,436
Babe, where have you been?
Did you turn your phone off?
457
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,399
More like I forgot to turn my phone on.
458
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,756
Do you know what day it is?
459
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,552
Thursday?
460
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,432
Anything else?
461
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,791
The 13th?
462
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,318
Happy anniversary.
463
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,593
Six years ago, your youth
group collided with mine.
464
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,233
You remembered.
465
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,998
Mm-hmm, and
we're gonna celebrate.
466
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,599
You remember how we met?
467
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,189
The Newsboys.
468
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,439
They're gonna be in town next Friday.
469
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,350
You are amazing, which is why I love you.
470
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,951
Look, I know I came off probably
way too strong yesterday.
471
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,593
You know, I just...
472
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,110
I get concerned when outside
things start coming between us.
473
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,117
You get that, can't you?
474
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,232
- Sure.
- Forgive me?
- Always.
475
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,072
Come on.
476
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,398
I just need...
477
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,318
Whoa!
478
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,198
Well, that can't all be Statistics.
479
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,201
Josh, please tell me you
haven't been spending
480
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,708
all your time on that philosophy thing.
481
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,236
Not all of it.
482
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,476
Okay, most of it.
483
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,159
Josh, that's not funny.
484
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,839
Okay, it's really not.
485
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Look, this is something I want to do, okay?
486
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,314
I don't understand how it comes between us.
487
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,198
Josh, everything you do is about us.
488
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,277
Okay, we're a team.
489
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,796
I mean, we're what, 6 years
going on forever, right?
490
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,958
That means your grades, your whole future,
491
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,639
I'm a part of that.
492
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,150
I don't see how this is
contributing to our future.
493
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,879
Yeah, well, neither do my parents
494
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,878
or anyone else in my life.
495
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,519
What should that tell you
496
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,200
if every single person that loves you
497
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,477
is saying the exact same thing?
498
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,194
Josh, I'm letting you know
now for your own good,
499
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,233
this experiment is over.
500
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,635
You need to prioritize and decide
501
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,235
who's the most important
person in your life,
502
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,989
me or Professor Radisson?
503
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,350
What if it's God?
504
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,593
God wants you with me,
so it's the same answer.
505
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,156
Return the books to the
library, sign the stupid paper,
506
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,958
and move on.
507
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,836
A year from now, we'll look
back on this and laugh.
508
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,314
We're not in high school anymore.
509
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,479
The decisions you make now
can have real consequences.
510
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,799
Josh!
511
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,439
Josh, this is serious.
512
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,198
I know.
513
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,391
You know.
514
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,719
I can't believe I'm making
a 12-hour drive to Florida
515
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,549
to do things that seemed
corny when I was 12.
516
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,469
David, I promised my mother a
picture of me in mouse ears
517
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,478
standing in front of the fairy tale castle.
518
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,274
The mouse ears are for
me, picture is for her.
519
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,190
To you, it's old-hat, but to me,
it's a lifelong dream come true.
520
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,231
Can you not understand that?
521
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,149
Then we'll go for the
undersea submarine ride.
522
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,113
Actually, I think they closed
that ride like 20 years ago.
523
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,959
And then we'll ride the world's
biggest roller coaster.
524
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,798
Sixteenth biggest.
525
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,801
In my mind, when I'm
screaming as we descend,
526
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,718
it will be the world's biggest
527
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,593
and I'll be glad that it's
not taller than it is.
528
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,313
That doesn't sound good.
529
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,199
Maybe the battery...
530
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,598
Or the starter.
531
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,678
Either way, we're not
going anywhere right now.
532
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,636
I'll call and arrange for a rental car.
533
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,717
But how will we get to the rental car?
534
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,359
They'll deliver it to us.
535
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,993
Are you serious?
536
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:50,599
Yeah, absolutely.
537
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,560
They'll deliver us the car we are to drive?
538
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,073
Yeah.
539
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,713
Hello?
540
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,319
Amazing.
541
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,200
But there are some flat-earthers out there
542
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,112
who still consider the
existence of a supreme deity
543
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,393
to be either necessary,
or self-evident, or both.
544
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,756
And with that, as previously announced,
545
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,032
I will be turning the podium
over to Mr. Wheaton,
546
00:34:11,240 --> 00:34:12,841
who will be presenting his case in favor
547
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,633
of a supreme celestial dictator,
548
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,037
otherwise known as God.
549
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:24,070
Mr. Wheaton,
are you ready?
550
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,669
Podium is yours.
551
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:59,077
Atheists say that no one can
prove the existence of God,
552
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,471
and well, they're right.
553
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,629
But I say no one can
disprove that God exists.
554
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,512
But the only way to debate this issue
555
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:17,200
is to look at the available evidence,
556
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,191
and that's what we're going to do.
557
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,518
We're going to put God on trial,
558
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,149
with Professor Radisson as the prosecutor,
559
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,078
and me as the defense attorney,
560
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,035
and you as the jury.
561
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:34,958
Most cosmologists now agree
562
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,436
that the universe began
some 13.7 billion years ago
563
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,995
in an event known as the Big Bang.
564
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:43,515
So, let's look at theoretical physicist
565
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:46,712
and Nobel Prize winner Steven
Weinberg's description
566
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,990
of what the Big Bang
would have looked like.
567
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,953
And since he's an atheist,
568
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,072
we can be sure
there isn't any believer-bias
569
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,713
in his description.
570
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,632
In the beginning, there was an explosion,
571
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,758
and in 3 minutes, 98%
of the matter there is
572
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,076
or ever will be, was produced.
573
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,430
We had a universe.
574
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,079
For 2,500 years,
575
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,589
most scientists agreed
with Aristotle on the idea
576
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,279
of a steady-state universe,
577
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,988
that the universe has always existed
578
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,839
with no beginning and no end,
but the Bible disagreed.
579
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,396
In the 1920s, Belgian astronomer
Georges Lematre, a theist,
580
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,999
who was actually also...
581
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:24,798
What's a theist?
582
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,879
A theist is someone who believes
in the existence of God.
583
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,556
He said that the entire
universe jumping into existence
584
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,433
in a trillionth of a
trillionth of a second,
585
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,119
out of nothingness,
586
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,153
in an unimaginably intense flash of light
587
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,749
is how he would expect
the universe to respond
588
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,873
if God were to actually utter
the command in Genesis 1:3,
589
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,356
"Let there be light."
590
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,795
In other words, the origin
of the universe unfolded
591
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,275
exactly how one would expect
after reading Genesis,
592
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,114
and for 2,500 years,
593
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:05,311
the Bible had it right and
science had it wrong.
594
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,197
So, the earliest you can get here is 5?
595
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,039
Okay, we'll be waiting.
596
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:15,312
Wait, it has air conditioning, right?
597
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,476
Okay, thanks.
598
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,628
Well, looks like we won't get
there 'til late tonight.
599
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,190
Sorry, I think you're gonna
miss an entire day at the park.
600
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,833
It's okay, David.
601
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,508
I'm sure we can make good
use of our time here today.
602
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,193
Sure.
603
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,879
We can meet the choir director,
604
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,753
talk about song choices
for the upcoming concert.
605
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,758
Or we could meet the women's club
606
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,713
about the details for
the next craft bazaar.
607
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,433
Lots of important stuff.
608
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,119
And since you're not leaving,
609
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,316
you'll have time to meet Mina for lunch.
610
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,080
Right, I can meet Mina for lunch.
611
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,614
Sounds like you need this
vacation more than I do.
612
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,036
No, I just need to do some meaningful work
613
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:00,038
so that I can have something
to take a vacation from.
614
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,640
You know, some of the most
important work that we do
615
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,313
may seem meaningless to us.
616
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:05,999
This coming from the missionary
617
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,758
who literally is in the trenches,
618
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,235
winning hearts for the
Lord on a daily basis.
619
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,989
David, God has you exactly
where he wants you.
620
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,839
He who is faithful in a very little thing
621
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,076
is also faithful in much.
622
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,032
God knows you're doing the work.
623
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,879
It's all part of his grand design.
624
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,116
All of which points to
a God that created it.
625
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,477
You see, in the real
world, we never see things
626
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,830
jumping into existence out of nothingness,
627
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:36,591
but atheists want to make one
small exception to this rule,
628
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,480
namely, the universe and everything in it.
629
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,557
But in his book, "The God Delusion,"
630
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,193
Richard Dawkins says
631
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,436
that, "If you tell me God
created the universe,
632
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:50,317
then I have the right
to ask you who created God."
633
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,351
Dawkins' question only makes sense
634
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,114
in terms of a God who has been created.
635
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,788
It doesn't make sense in
terms of an uncreated God,
636
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,080
which is the kind of God
that Christians believe in.
637
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,673
And even leaving God out of the equation,
638
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,000
I then have a right to turn
Mr. Dawkins's own question
639
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,275
back around on him and ask,
640
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,712
"If the universe created you,
then who created the universe?."
641
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,469
You see, both the theist and
the atheist are both burdened
642
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,477
with answering this same question
643
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,558
of how did things start.
644
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,520
What I'm hoping you'll
pick up from all this
645
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,154
is that you don't have to
commit intellectual suicide
646
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,794
to believe in a Creator
behind the creation.
647
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,514
And to the extent that
you don't allow for God,
648
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,910
you'd be pretty hard-pressed
to find an incredible
649
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,716
alternative explanation for
how things came to be.
650
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,396
Well, I imagine you're quite
pleased with yourself.
651
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,000
I see you've carefully avoided
the fact that Stephen Hawking,
652
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,599
the world's most famous scientist,
653
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,756
and who is not a theist,
654
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:57,318
has recently come out in favor
of a self-designing universe.
655
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,000
I haven't avoided it,
I just didn't...
656
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,355
You just didn't know about it.
657
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,028
Alright, well let's see
what Professor Hawking,
658
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:06,356
Lucasian Professor of physics at Cambridge,
659
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,836
who occupies a teaching chair
once held by Sir Isaac Newton,
660
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,600
has to say about the
origin of the universe.
661
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,958
And I quote, "Because there's
a law such as gravity,
662
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,199
"the universe can and will
create itself from nothing.
663
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,231
"Spontaneous creation is the reason
664
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,675
"there is something instead of nothing.
665
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,599
"It's why the universe
exists, why we exist.
666
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,155
"lt is not necessary to invoke God
667
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,836
to set the universe
in motion."
668
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,553
End of quote.
669
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,399
So, you may have never
come across his comment,
670
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,991
but his point remains.
671
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,953
How do you answer?
672
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,110
I don't know.
673
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,390
You don't know?
674
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,313
I prick the balloon of your entire argument
675
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,270
with a single pin, and you don't know?
676
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,272
Huh.
677
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,920
Well, I mean, I'd like to tell
you I have the perfect answer,
678
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,271
but it doesn't shake my underlying faith.
679
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:18,110
Okay, so the greatest scientific
mind in all of history says
680
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,312
that God is not necessary, but
a first-semester freshman says,
681
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,512
"Oh, yes he is."
682
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:31,068
Wow, you know, that's gonna
be a really tough choice.
683
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,554
Well, I look forward to
next week's lecture.
684
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,189
Class is dismissed.
685
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,273
Do you think you're
smarter than me, Wheaton?
686
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,321
Do you think there's any
argument you can make
687
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,316
that I won't have an answer for?
688
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,919
I never said I was smarter.
689
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,793
That's the first intelligent
thing you've said.
690
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,116
Now, I want to make this clear.
691
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,276
In that classroom, there is a god,
692
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,119
and yep, I'm him.
693
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,515
I'm also a jealous god, so
do not try to humiliate me
694
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:10,676
in front of my students.
695
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,920
You know, I also checked
up on your declared major.
696
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,393
Pre-law?
697
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,113
What exactly is pre-law?
698
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:17,753
We don't award degrees in that.
699
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,953
Don't bother answering, but know this,
700
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,232
if you truly feel a need to
continue with the charade,
701
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,591
I will make it my personal
mission to destroy any hope
702
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,679
of a law degree in your future.
703
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,758
Have a nice day.
704
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,552
- You did it, didn't you?
- What?
705
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,199
You know what I'm talking about.
706
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,120
You went and did your argument, didn't you?
707
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:04,997
Yeah, yeah I did.
708
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,679
What were you trying to prove?
709
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,681
I'm not even sure there
are words to describe
710
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:10,153
what I'm feeling right now.
711
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,956
I'm sorry Josh, but it's over between us.
712
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,276
That's it?
It's just... it's over?
713
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,436
It's over, Josh.
714
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,474
If you're going to do something
this stupid and selfish
715
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,114
after I already told you
what would happen...
716
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,596
Yeah, but that's sort
of the point, isn't it?
717
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,756
This is something that's
important to me, right,
718
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,440
but since it's not important to you,
719
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,712
you made it a make-it-
or-break-it-thing for us.
720
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,554
You didn't ask me, you told me.
721
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,358
It wasn't a decision that we made,
722
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,994
it was a decision that you
made for the both of us.
723
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,033
Well, somebody had to.
724
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,833
Okay.
725
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,156
That's it? "Okay"?
726
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,032
It's not what I want.
727
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:54,754
Honestly, I'm still hoping
you'll change your mind, right,
728
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,552
but I have to do this thing.
729
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,800
I feel like it's something
that God wants me to do.
730
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,833
I can't just turn away from
it, especially not now,
731
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,996
now that I've started.
732
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:07,277
My mother was so right about you.
733
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,233
I just wish I'd had the sense to listen.
734
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,799
Oh picture it, a little girl,
just a beautiful 8-year-old
735
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,117
Trying to live through
this life in a crazy world
736
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:42,759
Hey, Fahid.
737
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,157
She finds herself as a teen
and her life in ruins...
738
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,394
Showed that girl she had
meaning and a purpose to life
739
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,079
Maybe avoid that downward slide
740
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,078
Would you tell her the truth
or let her live in a lie?
741
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,716
It all just seems to change
742
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,077
When you see it
as a life to save...
743
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,435
1 Corinthians says you're saved,
744
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,911
and Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures,
745
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,714
that he was buried, that he
was raised on the third day
746
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,558
according to the Scriptures.
747
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,035
If you believe this in your heart,
748
00:45:16,240 --> 00:45:17,719
if you accept this by faith,
749
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:19,558
you see, God will forgive
you, he'll cleanse you,
750
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,398
and he'll set you free.
751
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,032
Give me that!
752
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,872
Give me that!
753
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,072
You must never tell Baba.
754
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,356
Swear to me you will never say anything.
755
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,312
Swear it!
756
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,194
Bottle of Cristal, my table.
757
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,038
Yes, Mr. Shelley.
758
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,875
I have some news.
759
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,513
Me too.
760
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:45,711
Okay, but me first.
761
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,276
I've just been named partner.
762
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:56,270
I think I have cancer.
763
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:04,837
Did you hear me?
764
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,793
Did you hear what I just said?
765
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,195
I have cancer.
766
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,199
This couldn't wait until tomorrow?
767
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,038
What?
768
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,677
How can you say that to me?
769
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,440
I thought you loved me.
770
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:29,111
I do, but you're changing our agreement,
771
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:30,952
you're breaking our deal.
772
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,760
You make it sound like a
contract negotiation.
773
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,393
Well, what did you think this was?
774
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,079
I thought it was love.
775
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,157
Grow up, Amy.
776
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,319
Love is the most overused
word in the English language.
777
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,875
It's what we say when we want something,
778
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:47,479
when we need something,
779
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,070
and you're as guilty of it as anybody.
780
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:57,992
We had fun.
781
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,839
You were my hot, young
girlfriend with the chic job.
782
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:06,194
I was your upwardly mobile,
charming, successful boyfriend.
783
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,557
And we were together because
we each got something
784
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,558
out of the relationship that we wanted,
785
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,432
and it was good.
786
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,313
It was...
actually, it was great.
787
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,877
But now it's over.
788
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,351
How did I not see this in you?
789
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,791
Because you saw what you wanted.
790
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,629
You understand that I might die?
791
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,917
And I'm sorry about that.
792
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,880
Hey, you're in my philosophy class.
793
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,599
Martin, right?
794
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,951
Correct,
and you're Mr. Josh.
795
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,593
Yeah.
796
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:15,038
Yeah, that's me,
Mr. Josh.
797
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:16,878
Hey, is that on our reading list?
798
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,352
No.
799
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,275
Can I ask you a question?
800
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,114
Yeah, sure.
801
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:34,275
Why are you doing what you are doing?
802
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,392
Everyone else thinks I'm crazy.
803
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,637
My girlfriend...
ex-girlfriend left me over it.
804
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,115
My parents don't want me to risk it.
805
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:45,719
At the end of it all,
806
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:47,359
I'm gonna have to work like a dog
807
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:48,993
for the rest of the semester
808
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,350
just to catch up on my other classes.
809
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,199
You have described your difficulties,
810
00:49:54,400 --> 00:50:00,191
but you haven't answered
my question of why.
811
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,833
I don't know.
812
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,953
I just... I think of Jesus
as my friend.
813
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:10,392
So, you think Jesus is God?
814
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,795
Yeah, and the Son of God.
815
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,433
I don't want to disappoint him,
816
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,996
even if everyone thinks I should.
817
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:22,313
See, to me, he's not dead.
818
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,512
He's alive.
819
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:28,001
I don't want anyone to get
talked out of believing in him
820
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,756
just because some professor
thinks they should.
821
00:50:38,240 --> 00:50:40,356
See you around, Martin.
822
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,994
Bye.
823
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,033
Hiya, Tom Blanchard, Metro City Auto.
824
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,679
Here's your keys.
825
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,314
- Thank you.
- Satisfaction is guaranteed.
826
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,590
Do I need to sign something?
827
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,394
Absolutely.
I'm giving you a car.
828
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,192
Sign here,
829
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,915
and then one more right
there, and one more there.
830
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,476
And if you could just initial
there, there, and there.
831
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,113
Thank you.
832
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,440
Call us when you're back.
You have it for the weekend.
833
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:21,953
We'll come pick you up.
834
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,798
Thanks.
835
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,239
You're kidding.
836
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:38,719
What did you do?
Did you break it?
837
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:40,353
What?
838
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,676
Check and see if it's still in gear.
839
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,313
No, it's in park.
840
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,717
I don't understand.
It worked 5 minutes ago.
841
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,117
Alright, well, now it's not.
842
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:52,833
How soon can you get us another car?
843
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:54,479
Well, not tonight.
844
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,193
It's already after 5:30.
845
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,833
Everyone's gone home
846
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,158
and I'm already kind of
late for an audition.
847
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,793
An audition?
848
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,197
Yeah, the gang and I are
doing "Death of a Salesman"
849
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:11,313
and it's kind of a dinner theatre thing.
850
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,835
What happened to satisfaction guaranteed?
851
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,077
It's alright, David.
We can leave tomorrow.
852
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,550
You want to make this drive
and miss half the day?
853
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,591
Perhaps it's gonna rain anyway.
854
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,839
Forecast for tomorrow
is 82 and sunny at 9 a.m.
855
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,871
Sometimes you don't make any sense.
856
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,111
Sometimes you make too much.
857
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,392
Just remember, God is good.
858
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,033
All the time.
859
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:36,639
And all the time?
860
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,348
God is good.
861
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,916
Will you sign this saying
you reject the car?
862
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,677
You're on with Marc.
863
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,075
It's me, dork, your sister.
864
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,276
Oh, and this is about?
865
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:09,879
You really should go see Mom.
866
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,519
She's not doing well.
867
00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:13,200
She hasn't been doing well for years.
868
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:14,759
That's why they call it dementia.
869
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,399
Still, you should go see her.
870
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,401
Claire said you haven't
been there in awhile.
871
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:19,953
Like it matters?
872
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,197
Besides, I just bought her a new TV.
873
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:24,958
Look, I'll make you a deal.
874
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,196
You go and you ask her what 3 + 3 equals.
875
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,960
If she gives you the right
answer, I'll visit.
876
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:31,593
That's not fair.
877
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,199
Life's not fair.
I gotta go.
878
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:34,833
Say hi to Amy.
879
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,473
No, that's over.
880
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,079
What'd you do?
881
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:39,918
Unresolved personal issues.
882
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,190
She's got some stuff she's
gotta work through.
883
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:43,953
I'm sorry to hear that.
884
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,310
Well, that's the way it goes.
885
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,157
Okay, ready to get this started?
886
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,480
Seriously, you have got to get a life.
887
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,148
Yeah, tell me about it.
888
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,553
Hey honey.
889
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,318
Oh, sorry, the door was open.
890
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,516
I just let myself in.
891
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:18,312
- Hi.
- Hi.
892
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:24,195
Oh hey, did you pick up the
bottle of wine I wanted?
893
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,119
I did.
894
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,397
I left it in the car.
895
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:32,999
It's in the car.
896
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:34,832
Don't worry about it.
897
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:36,479
You have a lot on your plate.
898
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,113
So, you know, just...
899
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,835
thank you for helping set
up our dinner party.
900
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,952
Well, unless I'm wrong,
901
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,160
all the guests are from the
philosophy department?
902
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,397
That's not true.
Vivian's a sociologist.
903
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:51,993
You're proving my point.
904
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,077
Look, I can't help it.
905
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,397
See, my intellectual rigor falls to pieces
906
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,471
the instant I get around you.
907
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,079
Really?
908
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,759
You could have fooled me.
909
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,315
The first time I walked
into your classroom,
910
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,318
you were all blood and thunder.
911
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:14,311
That was a performance, staged
largely for your benefit.
912
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:19,594
In the mean time, I kept
trying to keep my eyes off you
913
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,712
and hoping that there was a
brain inside that pretty head.
914
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,359
Why?
915
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,279
Well, because if there
wasn't, then, you know,
916
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:31,439
there's no way I could have
made myself go out with you.
917
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,911
Look, as it was, I waited
until you aced the midterm.
918
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:36,553
It was an A-minus.
919
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,228
Close enough.
920
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,756
Come on, where is she?
921
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,393
Huh?
922
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:49,999
Who?
923
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:51,992
That carefree,
free-spirited girl
924
00:55:52,240 --> 00:55:58,509
who forced me to almost risk
my career by dating her.
925
00:55:58,720 --> 00:56:01,188
You know, the one who quoted
Emily Dickinson, and Shelley,
926
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,312
and Spongebob Squarepants
with equal self-confidence.
927
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,956
I mean, what ever happened to the old Mina?
928
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,357
'Cause I miss her.
929
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,757
She has got a mom who's failing,
930
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,997
she's sensing time is passing by,
931
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:24,912
and she's starting to wonder
if she's unequally yoked.
932
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:29,432
Alright, you've been reading
again, haven't you?
933
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:34,794
Reading, listening, thinking.
934
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,592
You can hardly call this thinking.
935
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,554
As a matter of fact, it's
the opposite of thinking.
936
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,990
You know I'm a Christian.
937
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,041
You knew that when you
first started seeing me.
938
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,992
Yes, and you know that I'm not.
939
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,599
Yeah, I know,
940
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,239
and I know there's a lot of things
941
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:52,873
you don't want to talk about,
942
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:54,479
so we don't talk about them.
943
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:58,554
Yeah, except the not talking
is starting to get louder
944
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,910
and louder, and soon it will be deafening,
945
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:06,638
and I don't know if I can put up with that.
946
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,913
- I know.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
947
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,509
Because we need to be clear on this.
948
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:15,995
There's only room in this
relationship for two,
949
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,639
which means I don't get a mistress
950
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,673
and you don't get to drag a
2,000-year-old dead carpenter
951
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,713
turned itinerant rabbi into our lives.
952
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,758
Look, I'm gonna go freshen up.
953
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:41,553
Is this the same car?
954
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,273
Oh, no sir.
No, sir.
955
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,033
Same model, different color.
956
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:46,673
The other one was a cabernet.
957
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,475
This is more of a merlot.
958
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,557
You know, lying's not good.
959
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,479
Lying to an ordained minister
is flat-out bad.
960
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,079
You know that, right?
961
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,436
Sir, I assure you this is
a different automobile.
962
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,393
Here, try it out.
963
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,313
How'd your audition go?
964
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:08,953
Oh, pretty good.
965
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:14,154
I'm up for the role of Biff,
so... thanks for asking.
966
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,312
You guys going somewhere?
967
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,500
How's it look for you with the
department chair position?
968
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,631
I'm up for review
mid-semester.
969
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,831
Dean Powell assures me it's a slam dunk.
970
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,799
Well, congratulations Jeffrey.
971
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,112
Anything else on your plate?
972
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,197
Not really.
973
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:57,076
Feel like sharing?
974
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,876
I've got this student in my
introductory class this semester
975
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,594
who's... well,
he's taken a challenge
976
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,553
to prove the existence of God.
977
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,159
In your classroom?
978
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,113
- Yes.
- Silly boy.
979
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,430
- Freshman?
- Oh yeah.
980
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,551
Doesn't seem quite fair to me.
981
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,159
Well, how's that?
982
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,436
He's inexperienced in front of a room,
983
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,107
and you're expecting him
to compete with you
984
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:23,838
in your own field of expertise.
985
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,310
Come on, Mina.
This is fun for me.
986
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,193
I can't help it if a boy wants
to make a fool of himself
987
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,311
and commit academic suicide.
988
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:32,953
Look, I tried to stop him.
989
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,752
I gave him an out, but no, no, no,
990
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,560
he wants to prove that God isn't dead.
991
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,753
Look, I know I am in the minority here,
992
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,713
but I actually believe in God.
993
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,915
Yes, yes, well, she is...
she's a work in progress.
994
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,080
So, darling, I think it's best
we just change the subject.
995
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:01,553
But I'm just saying...
996
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,719
Mina, I've asked politely, okay?
997
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,438
Okay.
998
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,799
The coq au vin is almost done.
999
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:14,712
Excellent.
1000
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,632
To the dining room.
1001
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,594
Nothing like a nice merlot
to take the edge off.
1002
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,514
Cheers, everyone.
1003
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,478
Mina, this wine is awful.
1004
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,119
It's been cooked.
1005
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,153
It tastes like it was sunning
in a moldy basement.
1006
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,112
Talk about your
"Grapes of Wrath."
1007
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,878
I bought it before I went
shopping the other day.
1008
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,958
I locked it in the trunk
1009
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,873
and when I got home I forgot about it.
1010
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,590
Well, I think this dinner
serves as a valuable lesson.
1011
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,189
As Socrates put it over 2,000 years ago,
1012
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,153
"Gnothi seauton."
1013
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,514
Looks like it's Greek to her.
1014
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,718
Oh, it's "Know thyself,"
darling, know thyself.
1015
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:53,199
Which I suggest means knowing
your own limitations.
1016
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:06,075
You know, if you'll all excuse me,
1017
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,232
it's time for the help to depart.
1018
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,271
Sweetheart...
1019
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:43,952
No pacemaker?
1020
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,357
No other piercings, right?
1021
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:48,959
No.
1022
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,589
I know it sounds crazy, but I have to ask.
1023
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,634
If there's any ferrous metal
anywhere inside your body,
1024
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,235
the magnetic field will
put it out, and forcibly.
1025
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,557
In our last class, I was asked a question
1026
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,360
that I couldn't answer.
1027
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,949
As Professor Radisson pointed out,
1028
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,071
Stephen Hawking is an atheist.
1029
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,081
He also wrote a book
called "The Grand Design"
1030
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:22,750
in which he says the following:
1031
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,076
"Because there is a law such as gravity,
1032
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:29,677
the universe can and will
create itself from nothing."
1033
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,395
And to be honest, I didn't
know how to refute that.
1034
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:40,392
I mean, after all, Hawking
is clearly a genius.
1035
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:43,068
But, Professor John Lennox,
1036
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,800
who teaches mathematics and philosophy
1037
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,639
has demonstrated that there
are not one, even two,
1038
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,030
but three errors of logic contained
1039
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,719
in that one simple sentence,
1040
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,549
and it all boils down
to circular reasoning.
1041
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,320
Hawking is basically saying
that the universe exists
1042
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,710
because the universe needed to exist,
1043
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,319
and because the universe needed to exist,
1044
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,438
it therefore created itself.
1045
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:07,039
It's like this.
1046
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:08,872
If I say to you that I can prove
1047
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,200
that Spam is the best-tasting
food that's ever existed
1048
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,596
because in all of history, no
food has ever tasted better,
1049
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,233
you'd probably look at me strange
1050
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:17,839
and say I haven't proven anything.
1051
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:19,479
And you'd be right,
1052
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,796
all I've done is restate my original claim.
1053
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:23,907
But when Hawking claims that
the universe created itself
1054
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,190
because it needed to create itself,
1055
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,231
and then offers that as an explanation
1056
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,510
as to how and why it was created,
1057
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,911
we don't immediately recognize
that he's doing the same thing.
1058
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,271
But he is, prompting
Lennox to further comment,
1059
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:38,959
"Nonsense remains nonsense,
1060
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,879
"even when spoken by famous scientists
1061
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:43,559
"even though the general public
1062
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,321
assumes they are
statements of science."
1063
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,879
This is the height of hubris.
1064
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:48,681
Are you telling me that you, a freshman,
1065
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,597
are saying that Stephen Hawking is wrong?
1066
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,917
No, what I'm saying is that John Lennox,
1067
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:55,561
a professor of mathematics and philosophy,
1068
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,880
has found Professor Hawking's
reasoning to be faulty,
1069
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,512
and I agree with his logic.
1070
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,188
But if you can't bear to disagree
1071
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:03,799
with Hawking's thinking,
1072
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,270
then I suggest that you turn
to page five of his book,
1073
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,314
where he insists philosophy is dead.
1074
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:12,838
And if you're so sure
1075
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:14,520
of Professor Hawking's infallibility,
1076
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,079
and philosophy really is dead,
1077
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:22,116
then well, there's really
no need for this class.
1078
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,559
It's like I'm a convenience to him,
1079
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,320
except for when my faith comes up,
1080
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,476
then he becomes verbally abusive.
1081
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,716
I'm guessing he's bright.
1082
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:38,353
Brilliant.
1083
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,073
Handsome.
1084
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:41,679
Yes.
1085
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,348
And his attention makes you feel special,
1086
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,835
gives you a sense of completeness.
1087
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,435
Have you been reading my diary?
1088
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,074
Psychologists call it
the Cinderella complex.
1089
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,033
It's not my name for it, so
don't get upset with me.
1090
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:56,640
Guys are capable of the same thing.
1091
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,796
It's just they don't have a name for it.
1092
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,567
But in essence, you're
looking for his approval
1093
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,073
to give you
a sense of self-worth
1094
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,316
instead of generating it internally.
1095
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,152
Don't most people do that?
1096
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,749
Yeah, a lot of people do, sure.
1097
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:10,598
But, using romance
to shore up self-image
1098
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,473
is an unstable foundation.
1099
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,911
Do you believe God's capable
of error, bias, or bad judgment?
1100
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:18,553
No.
1101
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,479
So, if he's incapable of mistakes,
1102
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,673
and he made you in his likeness and image,
1103
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,394
then it follows that he
cares about you, right?
1104
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:30,318
Right.
1105
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:31,999
To the point where God's only Son
1106
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:36,557
would willingly be crucified
again for you, just you,
1107
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,597
if that's what was necessary.
1108
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,308
Well, if he loves you that much,
1109
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,832
who cares what your boyfriend thinks?
1110
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:51,717
To the wrong person, you'll
never have any worth.
1111
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:58,632
But to the right person,
you'll mean everything.
1112
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,468
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
1113
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,752
for the last 150 years,
Darwinists have been saying
1114
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,594
that God is unnecessary to
explain man's existence
1115
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,189
and that evolution replaces God,
1116
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,277
but evolution only tells you what happens
1117
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,198
once you have life.
1118
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,550
So, where did that something
that's alive come from?
1119
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,870
Well, Darwin never really addressed it.
1120
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,230
He assumed maybe some
lightning hit a stagnant pool
1121
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:26,873
full of the right kind of chemicals
1122
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,514
and bingo, a living something.
1123
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,154
But it's just not that simple.
1124
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,472
You see, Darwin claimed that the
ancestry of all living things
1125
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,877
came from that one single, simple organism
1126
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,435
which reproduced and was
slowly modified over time
1127
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:43,790
into the complex life forms we view today.
1128
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,753
Which is why, after
contemplating his own theory,
1129
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,315
Darwin uttered his famous statement,
1130
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,272
"Natura non facit saltum,"
1131
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:56,713
meaning,
"Nature does not jump."
1132
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:58,951
Well, as noted author Lee
Strobel pointed out,
1133
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,197
that if you can picture
the entire 3.8 billion years
1134
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,436
that scientists say life has been around
1135
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,113
as one 24-hour day,
1136
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,788
in the space of just about 90 seconds,
1137
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,991
most major animal groups suddenly appear
1138
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:12,633
in the forms in which they currently hold.
1139
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,149
Not slowly and steadily
as Darein predicted,
1140
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:19,791
but in evolutionary
terms, almost instantly.
1141
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,992
So, "nature does not jump" becomes
1142
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,915
"nature makes
a giant leap."
1143
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,196
So, how do theists explain
this sudden outburst
1144
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,755
of new biological information?
1145
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,594
"And God said, 'Let the water
teem with living creatures
1146
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,233
"'and let birds fly above the earth
1147
01:08:36,440 --> 01:08:37,998
across the expanse
of the sky.'
1148
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,001
"So God created the great
creatures of the sea
1149
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:41,439
"and every living and moving thing
1150
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,119
"with which the water teems,
1151
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:44,753
"according to its kind.
1152
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:50,830
And God saw that it
was good," Genesis 1:20.
1153
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:52,598
In other words, creation happened
1154
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:54,518
because God said it should happen.
1155
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,233
And even what looks, to our eyes,
1156
01:08:56,480 --> 01:08:59,995
to be a blind, unguided process
1157
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:05,558
could really be divinely
controlled from start to finish.
1158
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:17,758
Isn't there anyone you'd like
to have here with you for this?
1159
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:23,597
No, there's nobody.
1160
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:05,116
Lies, lies, and more lies.
1161
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,276
It's easy to dismiss what
you don't understand
1162
01:10:07,480 --> 01:10:09,232
or what you don't want to understand.
1163
01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:15,072
There it is, the default
setting of the Bible-thumper.
1164
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:19,398
"If only you would open
the Scripture and read,
1165
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,478
then you would understand."
1166
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:27,470
So says the brave young freshman.
1167
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:33,630
"For thou art wise, and with
thou, all wisdom shall die,"
1168
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,673
Job 12, verse 2.
1169
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,711
What else does Job tell us?
1170
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,430
"For man who is born of
woman is few of days,
1171
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,073
"and full of trouble.
1172
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,919
"He comes forth like a shadow
and does not continue.
1173
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:51,033
"So man lies down, and does not rise
1174
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,391
'til the heavens
are no more."
1175
01:10:54,640 --> 01:11:00,317
Well, at least he got that part right.
1176
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,791
What happened to you?
1177
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:16,638
When a 12-year-old watches
his mother dying of cancer,
1178
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,753
it's only natural to beg God for her life.
1179
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,911
He'll promise anything
1180
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,554
to his make-believe
grandfather in the sky,
1181
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:27,711
including to love and worship him forever,
1182
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:33,870
if only he will spare her.
1183
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,435
Sometimes the answer is no.
1184
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:40,195
Tell that to me the day you
lose someone you love.
1185
01:11:40,440 --> 01:11:42,237
She died believing a lie.
1186
01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:44,520
She died believing that
someone out there loved her
1187
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,952
even while he was strangling her to death.
1188
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:53,358
A God who would allow that
is not worth believing in.
1189
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:58,111
That is why, Wheaton, you will find
1190
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:03,394
the most committed atheists
were once Christians,
1191
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,352
but we took the blinders off.
1192
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,599
We saw the world for what it truly is.
1193
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,435
You see, Shakespeare had it right.
1194
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,753
Life is really a tale told by an idiot,
1195
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:23,637
full of sound and fury,
and signifying nothing.
1196
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:37,911
Ayisha!
1197
01:12:56,120 --> 01:13:00,352
"He's the one god
who has not begotten."
1198
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,636
Say it!
1199
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,717
I command you to say it!
1200
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,353
No, Baba.
1201
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,757
Jesus is my Lord and Savior and
he died to save me from my sins.
1202
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:11,393
No!
1203
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:19,594
Carry on, carry on
1204
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:26,513
What I know is you, my God, are real
1205
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:33,751
No matter how I feel,
you've never let me go
1206
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:40,631
And what I know is there
will never be a day
1207
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,877
You aren't just a breath away
1208
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:52,080
And through it all I've
gotta hold to what I know
1209
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:59,598
Gonna hold to what I know
1210
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:08,150
What I know
1211
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:12,555
What I know
1212
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:58,868
Sorry for the delay in
posting my interview.
1213
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:03,119
It's been a rough week.
1214
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:09,475
When I finally caught up to...
1215
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:22,272
New post.
1216
01:15:22,480 --> 01:15:27,076
I have cancer.
1217
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:34,152
Amy is going to die.
1218
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,234
No!
1219
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:33,311
Jeffrey, I need to talk to you.
1220
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:34,993
You know how I feel about that.
1221
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,556
On campus, I'm Professor Radisson, okay?
1222
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,435
So, then he claims that Dawkins
is the one who was in error,
1223
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,518
as if Dawkins thought...
1224
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:49,269
Jeffrey, I'm leaving you.
1225
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,198
Excuse me.
1226
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,072
What?
1227
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,430
What are you saying?
1228
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,438
I'm leaving you.
1229
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,232
You can't do that.
1230
01:17:03,440 --> 01:17:05,715
I won't accept it.
1231
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,913
I'm sorry.
1232
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:11,721
I said I don't accept that.
1233
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,672
I won't allow it.
1234
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:23,029
I know, I heard you, but
it's not your choice.
1235
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:27,359
Good bye, Jeffrey.
1236
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,471
How long has she been hiding her faith?
1237
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,234
About a year.
1238
01:17:50,440 --> 01:17:54,194
I can't even imagine what
she must be feeling.
1239
01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:01,476
You asked to be in the trenches, David.
1240
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,834
What have I done, Pastor Dave?
1241
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:28,632
I've lost everything.
1242
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,832
What if I made a mistake?
1243
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,670
Ayisha, you've displayed an
amazing amount of courage
1244
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,633
by standing up for your faith.
1245
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:47,914
God knows the risks you've
taken and he will honor that.
1246
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:53,550
I don't think I can do this.
1247
01:18:53,760 --> 01:19:00,108
We're here for you, Ayisha.
1248
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:06,395
Are you... have you read
of the Apostle Paul?
1249
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,955
He said, "I know what it is to have little,
1250
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:12,118
"and I know what it is to have plenty.
1251
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,880
"ln any and all circumstances,
1252
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,071
"I have learned the secret
of being well-fed
1253
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:18,952
"and of being hungry,
1254
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:24,359
"of having plenty and of being in need.
1255
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:25,959
I can do all things..."
1256
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:31,075
"Through Christ
who strengthens me."
1257
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:35,108
Right.
1258
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:38,517
You're not alone, Ayisha.
1259
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:42,110
You're gonna be okay.
1260
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:30,837
I made a mistake with you,
1261
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:32,720
Letting you speak in front of my classroom
1262
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,519
and spew your propaganda.
1263
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:41,278
But today, we're gonna
change things up a bit.
1264
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:51,599
Evil.
1265
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:55,998
Now, it's been said that evil
is atheism's most potent weapon
1266
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,470
against the Christian faith, and it is.
1267
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:01,478
After all, the very existence
of evil begs the question,
1268
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,753
"If God is all-good
and God is all-powerful,
1269
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,151
why does he allow
evil to exist?."
1270
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:16,869
The answer at its core is
remarkably simple: free will.
1271
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,640
God allows evil to exist
because of free will.
1272
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,354
From the Christian standpoint,
God tolerates evil in this world
1273
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,192
on a temporary basis so that one day,
1274
01:21:24,440 --> 01:21:26,476
those who choose to love him freely
1275
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:28,875
will dwell with him in heaven,
free from the influence of evil,
1276
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,799
but with their free will in tact.
1277
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:37,028
In other words, God's
intention concerning evil
1278
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:38,872
is to one day destroy it.
1279
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,680
Well, how convenient.
1280
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,555
"One day, I will get rid of
all the evil in the world.
1281
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,718
"But until then, you just have
to deal with all the wars,
1282
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,589
"and Holocausts, tsunamis,
poverty, starvation, and AIDS.
1283
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:54,717
Have a nice life."
1284
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:57,639
Next, he'll be lecturing
us on moral absolutes.
1285
01:21:57,840 --> 01:21:59,319
But why not?
1286
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,512
Professor Radisson, who's
clearly an atheist,
1287
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:04,120
doesn't believe in moral absolutes,
1288
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,880
but his core syllabus says
he plans to give us an exam
1289
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:08,513
during finals week.
1290
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:10,711
Now, I'm betting that if
I manage to get an "A"
1291
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:12,353
on the exam by cheating,
1292
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,127
he'll suddenly start
sounding like a Christian,
1293
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:15,593
insisting it's wrong to cheat,
1294
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,233
that I should have known that.
1295
01:22:17,440 --> 01:22:20,000
And yet, what basis does he have?
1296
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,152
If my actions are calculated
to help me succeed,
1297
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,316
then why shouldn't I perform them?
1298
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,796
For Christians, the fixed
point of morality,
1299
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:30,678
what constitutes right and wrong,
1300
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:34,595
is a straight line that
leads directly back to God.
1301
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,718
Oh, so you're saying that
we need a God to be moral,
1302
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:40,275
that a moral atheist is an impossibility.
1303
01:22:40,480 --> 01:22:42,948
No, but with no God, there's
no real reason to be moral.
1304
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:44,593
I mean, there's not even a standard
1305
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:46,279
of what moral behavior is.
1306
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,318
For Christians,
lying, cheating, stealing...
1307
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,440
in my example, stealing
a grade I didn't earn...
1308
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:52,959
are forbidden.
1309
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:54,593
It's a form of theft.
1310
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:56,233
But if God does not exist,
1311
01:22:56,440 --> 01:22:58,874
as Dostoyevsky famously pointed out,
1312
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:06,111
"If God does not exist,
then everything is permissible."
1313
01:23:07,480 --> 01:23:09,550
And not only permissible, but pointless.
1314
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:12,115
If Professor Radisson is
right, then all of this,
1315
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:16,472
all of our struggle, our debate,
1316
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,553
whatever we decide here is meaningless.
1317
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:21,520
I mean, our lives and ultimately our deaths
1318
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,755
have no more consequence
than that of a goldfish.
1319
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:25,359
This is ridiculous.
1320
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:26,999
So, after all your talk,
1321
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,111
you're saying that it all
comes down to choice:
1322
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:30,753
believe or don't believe.
1323
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,554
That's right, that's all there is.
1324
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:35,159
That's all there's ever been.
1325
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:36,992
The only difference between
your position and my position
1326
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,470
is that you take away their choice.
1327
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,558
You demand that they choose the
box marked, "I don't believe."
1328
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,115
Yes, because I want to free them.
1329
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,833
Because religion is like a...
1330
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:50,959
it's like a mind virus that
parents have passed on
1331
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:52,798
down to their children,
1332
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:54,951
and Christianity is the worst virus of all.
1333
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:56,559
It slowly creeps into our lives
1334
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,030
when we're weak or sick or helpless.
1335
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:00,673
So, religion is like a disease?
1336
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,269
Yes. Yes, it infects everything.
1337
01:24:03,480 --> 01:24:05,198
It's the enemy of reason.
1338
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:06,833
Reason?
1339
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:08,474
Professor, you left reason a long time ago.
1340
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:10,400
What you're teaching here isn't philosophy.
1341
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,039
It's not even atheism anymore.
1342
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,196
What you're teaching is antitheism.
1343
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:16,032
It's not enough that you don't believe.
1344
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:19,915
You need all of us to not believe with you.
1345
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:21,820
Why don't you admit the truth?
1346
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,400
You just want to ensnare them
in your primitive superstition.
1347
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:26,591
What I want is for them
to make their own choice.
1348
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,233
That's what God wants.
1349
01:24:28,440 --> 01:24:30,601
You have no idea how much I'm
gonna enjoy failing you.
1350
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,949
Yeah, but who are you really
looking to fail, Professor?
1351
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,312
Me or God?
1352
01:24:45,440 --> 01:24:48,113
Do you hate God?
1353
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:49,753
That's not even a question.
1354
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,918
Okay, why do you hate God?
1355
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:54,553
This is ridiculous.
1356
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,194
Why do you hate God?
Answer the question.
1357
01:24:57,440 --> 01:24:58,873
You've seen the science and the arguments.
1358
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:00,513
Science supports his existence.
1359
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:02,915
You know the truth.
1360
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:04,792
So, why do you hate him?
1361
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,434
Why?.!
1362
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,471
It's a very simple question, Professor.
1363
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,194
Why do you hate God?
1364
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,676
Because he took everything away from me.
1365
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,832
Yes, I hate God.
1366
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:22,874
All I have for him is hate.
1367
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:33,916
How can you hate someone
if they don't exist?
1368
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:45,553
You've proven nothing.
1369
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:47,830
Maybe not.
1370
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,839
They get to choose.
1371
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:04,232
Is God dead?
1372
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:29,789
God is not dead.
1373
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:32,439
God's not dead.
1374
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:33,993
God's not dead.
God's not dead.
1375
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:35,235
God's not dead. God's not dead.
God's not dead.
1376
01:26:35,440 --> 01:26:37,320
God's not dead. God's not dead.
God's not dead.
1377
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,278
Josh!
1378
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,033
Josh. Josh!
1379
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:31,031
Your decision to prove God is not dead
1380
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,993
has affected me greatly.
1381
01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:35,633
I'm glad.
1382
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:39,276
Yes, and it has changed everything.
1383
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:43,479
I've decided to follow Jesus.
1384
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,513
That's great, Martin.
1385
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:48,153
Hey, you know what?
1386
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,072
You've gotta check this out.
1387
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:52,311
- Okay.
- Come on.
1388
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,595
Why did I have to bring my suitcase?
1389
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,679
Not bringing it would show a lack of faith.
1390
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:07,514
Oh merciful Father, please
allow this car to start.
1391
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:08,260
Amen.
1392
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:13,559
That's it?
1393
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,758
Why, do you have a better
"Lord, please make my car run"
1394
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,520
blessing that you know?
1395
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:21,119
No.
1396
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:25,359
So then, let's give it a try.
1397
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:27,835
Okay.
1398
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:29,473
No, no, no, no.
1399
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:33,434
Put our bags in the trunk first.
1400
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:38,760
David, we spend our entire
lives talking about faith.
1401
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,959
Now I'm asking you to show faith.
1402
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:48,398
Okay.
1403
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:07,310
- Unbelievable.
- No. Faith.
1404
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,437
- God is good.
- All the time.
1405
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:19,191
- And all the time?
- God is good.
1406
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:36,712
I don't even know what I'm doing here.
1407
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:41,675
I mean, it's not like
you even know who I am.
1408
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:57,914
You prayed and believed
1409
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:01,675
your whole life,
1410
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:07,000
never done anything wrong,
1411
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,078
and here you are.
1412
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:16,719
You're the nicest person I
know, I am the meanest.
1413
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:23,393
You have dementia, my life is perfect.
1414
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:26,916
Explain that to me.
1415
01:30:29,480 --> 01:30:31,914
Sometimes the devil allows people
1416
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:36,079
to live a life free of trouble
1417
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:42,236
'cause he doesn't want them turning to God.
1418
01:30:42,440 --> 01:30:49,073
Your sin is like a jail cell,
except it's all nice and comfy,
1419
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:53,239
and there doesn't seem
to be any need to leave.
1420
01:30:53,440 --> 01:30:58,753
The door's wide open
1421
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:04,910
'til one day, time runs out,
1422
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,959
and the cell door slams shut
1423
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:17,395
and suddenly...
it's too late.
1424
01:31:26,480 --> 01:31:29,313
Who did you say you were?
1425
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:40,199
I can't believe this.
1426
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:41,913
The car actually starts
1427
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:44,680
and now we're being
done-in by believers.
1428
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:46,359
I think it's beautiful.
1429
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:48,079
Please, no more words of wisdom.
1430
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:49,713
But I'm just happy to see
1431
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:51,433
all these people going to sing about Jesus.
1432
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:54,108
Move!
1433
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:08,516
Hello, gentlemen.
1434
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:10,153
Can I help you?
1435
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:11,800
I'm Amy Ryan.
I write "The New Left."
1436
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:13,433
Michael Tait.
How are you?
1437
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:15,073
Did we schedule this?
1438
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:18,795
No, I actually find that the
best interviews are unscripted.
1439
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,355
So, in a few minutes, you
guys are gonna go out there
1440
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:24,199
and you're gonna sing about God and Jesus
1441
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:26,595
as if they're as real as you and me.
1442
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:28,518
How can you do that?
1443
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,439
Well, to us, they are as real.
1444
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:33,551
As a matter of fact, even more so.
1445
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:36,752
I mean, we exist in the here and now.
1446
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,315
They've existed forever.
Think about that.
1447
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,398
Yeah, you know, in the
beginning was the Word.
1448
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,751
The Word was with God and the Word was God.
1449
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,033
So, I see.
So when you're pressed,
1450
01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:50,874
you quote a bunch of ancient
scribblings and say,
1451
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,230
"Don't worry,
it's all in there."
1452
01:32:53,440 --> 01:32:56,034
Well, they may be ancient,
but they're not scribblings.
1453
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,357
I mean, we believe God gave
us an instruction manual,
1454
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:01,312
and it's where we draw our strength
1455
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:04,637
and it's where we find our hope.
1456
01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:07,832
So, where do you find your hope?
1457
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:19,680
I'm dying.
1458
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:29,276
Hey Amy, you're not here
to trash us, are you?
1459
01:33:29,480 --> 01:33:31,081
I think that's what you might have done,
1460
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,397
but I think you're here kinda wondering,
1461
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:40,596
kinda hoping that this stuff
is for real, aren't you?
1462
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:43,559
How do you know that?
1463
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:45,834
I just felt that that's
what God was saying,
1464
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:51,028
and he just wanted you to know it.
1465
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:54,949
That's... I can't...
1466
01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:58,596
Yeah, and he's just the drummer.
1467
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:03,388
And we never really did what we're told
1468
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:08,310
And we'll say we were dumb and all alone
1469
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,318
But we're still chasing the sun
1470
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:15,638
We'll say we were young and full of hope
1471
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:18,752
And we never really did what we're told
1472
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:23,516
And we'll say we were dumb and all alone
1473
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,479
But we're still chasing the sun
1474
01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,793
One day, we'll fade
but we'll never forget...
1475
01:35:15,440 --> 01:35:17,317
"My dearest son,
1476
01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:20,279
"words cannot express
the love I have for you
1477
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:21,919
"or the sorrow in my heart
1478
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,350
"knowing that I will never
be able to see you grow up
1479
01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:27,632
"and fulfill God's plan for your life.
1480
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,479
"My heart is broken at the
thought of leaving you.
1481
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:32,477
"I know God is in control.
1482
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:34,193
"His ways are higher than our ways
1483
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,039
"and his thoughts are
higher than our thoughts.
1484
01:35:37,240 --> 01:35:41,756
"Live life to the fullest and
remain in the joy of the Lord.
1485
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,275
"You will forever be in my heart.
1486
01:35:44,480 --> 01:35:47,119
I love you.
Mom."
1487
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,393
Hey, it's Mina.
1488
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,989
Sorry I missed your call.
Leave a message.
1489
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:13,994
Mina, it's Jeffrey.
1490
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,754
Please call me.
1491
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:38,039
Hey guys, we're a-go for the show.
1492
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:39,673
Hey Steve, give us a minute, buddy.
1493
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:41,279
This is kinda important.
1494
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:42,953
- Thanks guys.
- Thanks.
1495
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,993
Can we pray for you real quick?
1496
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:47,633
Do you mind?
1497
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:49,478
Cool.
1498
01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:55,996
Dear God, we don't know
your plan for Amy, Lord,
1499
01:36:56,240 --> 01:37:00,153
but we're asking you would
save her tonight, Lord.
1500
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:05,354
Change her, cleanse her, give
her a fresh start, Lord.
1501
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,199
Let her know that she's
loved, and more importantly,
1502
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:14,157
that she is loved by you,
the Master of the universe.
1503
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:16,954
Give her strength for the
journey ahead, Lord,
1504
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:19,833
and let her know in her
heart, God, speak to her,
1505
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,998
that you're gonna be with
her every step of the way.
1506
01:37:23,200 --> 01:37:26,431
We pray this, Jesus, in your holy name.
1507
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:28,232
Amen.
1508
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:33,233
Yeah.
1509
01:37:33,440 --> 01:37:35,670
Hey guys, we gotta roll.
1510
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:37,313
Cool, you gonna be okay, Amy?
1511
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:38,999
You good?
1512
01:37:46,480 --> 01:37:51,873
Make a way for
1513
01:37:54,480 --> 01:37:59,110
Make a way for
1514
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:05,832
Make a way for the King
1515
01:38:09,440 --> 01:38:13,228
The King is coming
1516
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,709
Empty hearts are filling up
1517
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:38,469
Wicked ways are coming undone
1518
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:43,714
Every eye is looking out for you
1519
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:49,749
City lights are burning out
1520
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:53,555
Freedom's song is ringing loud
1521
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:58,709
Dead men waking up to the sound of you
1522
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:02,515
And all our hearts can sing
1523
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,678
All our hearts can sing
1524
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:09,236
Make a way for
1525
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:13,309
Make a way for
1526
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:17,553
Make a way for the King
1527
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,712
The King is coming
1528
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:24,754
So, make a way for
1529
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:28,555
Make a way for
1530
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:31,792
Make a way for the King
1531
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:39,235
Oh, that's perfect.
1532
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:43,120
So much for sunny and clear skies.
1533
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:05,671
Call an ambulance!
1534
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:08,717
Call an ambulance!
1535
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:11,518
Don't move.
1536
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:14,792
His ribs are crushed.
1537
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:16,911
His lungs are filling with blood.
1538
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:18,758
He doesn't have long.
1539
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:20,393
Are you sure?
1540
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:21,999
Yeah.
1541
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:23,639
Don't move.
1542
01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:25,273
I can't die.
1543
01:40:25,480 --> 01:40:27,994
I'm not ready.
1544
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:33,237
Do you know Jesus?
1545
01:40:33,440 --> 01:40:36,637
I'm an atheist.
1546
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,872
I believe it's God's mercy that
brought me here right now.
1547
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:42,355
I'm dying.
1548
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:43,993
How can you call that mercy?
1549
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,555
Because that car could
have killed you instantly.
1550
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:49,399
And I'm sure right now you
probably wish that it did,
1551
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:51,631
but I'm here to tell you that it's a gift
1552
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:53,441
'cause the God that you don't believe in
1553
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:55,511
has given you another chance,
1554
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:58,951
another chance to change your final answer.
1555
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:04,553
I don't want to die, but I'm so scared.
1556
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:06,955
If it's any consolation, so was Jesus.
1557
01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:10,670
He was so scared, he sweat blood.
1558
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:13,394
He asked the Father if it
could be removed from him,
1559
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:16,558
but the answer was no.
1560
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:20,998
He says no a lot.
1561
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:22,997
He gives us the answers we'd ask for
1562
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:27,079
if we knew what he knows.
1563
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:30,317
"'For as the heavens are
higher than the earth,
1564
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:33,632
"so are my ways higher than your ways,
1565
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:38,755
and my thoughts are higher than
your thoughts, ' says the Lord."
1566
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:40,632
Exactly.
1567
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:43,434
So, the question is...
stay with me.
1568
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:45,153
Stay with me.
1569
01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,999
Are you willing to put your
faith in Jesus Christ?
1570
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:51,755
Are you willing to take that chance?
1571
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,789
Yes.
1572
01:41:57,040 --> 01:42:01,511
God is willing to forgive you
of your sins, all of them,
1573
01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:05,594
if you accept his Son and
ask him into your life.
1574
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:09,594
That's all you have to do
is just accept his Son.
1575
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:13,554
Accept his love and receive
his forgiveness right now.
1576
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:19,278
Do you accept him as Lord and Savior?
1577
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:25,197
Yes, I accept.
1578
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:32,393
It's alright.
1579
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:35,034
In a few minutes, you're gonna
know more about God than I do,
1580
01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:36,958
or anybody else here does.
1581
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:41,153
It's okay, it's okay.
1582
01:43:09,480 --> 01:43:11,596
If you check out the screens behind me,
1583
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:15,713
we have a very special message
from a very good friend.
1584
01:43:17,920 --> 01:43:19,399
Hey, I'm Willie Robertson,
1585
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,160
speaking on behalf of the Robertson family.
1586
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,191
Me and the gang wanted to let you know
1587
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:25,833
we've heard in the news
1588
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:29,112
that there's been a bit of
a squabble down there on campus.
1589
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:35,634
One of your professors
insisted that God is dead.
1590
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:39,116
Well, I'm happy to announce
that the reports of God's death
1591
01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:41,754
were greatly exaggerated.
1592
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:43,996
Now, let me ask you a question.
1593
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:46,395
Have you got your cell phones on you?
1594
01:43:46,600 --> 01:43:47,999
Good.
1595
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:50,041
Alright, now while this
next song is playing,
1596
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:52,355
I want everyone to go to their contacts
1597
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,312
and click on everybody you know
1598
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:58,115
and text them three simple words:
1599
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:00,834
"God's not dead."
1600
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:03,594
And there's 10,000 of you out there,
1601
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:07,037
and everyone knows about 100 people.
1602
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:09,356
That's a million messages right there.
1603
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:12,916
A million times we're gonna
tell Jesus that we love him
1604
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:15,315
in the next 3 minutes.
1605
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,393
And for the young man who
took up the gauntlet
1606
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:22,474
to defend God's honor, and
you know who you are,
1607
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:27,151
I can only imagine the smile
you put on God's face.
1608
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:29,994
This one goes out to you.
1609
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:34,757
It was you, wasn't it?
1610
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:38,077
The one who defended God?
1611
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:39,759
Yeah.
1612
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:41,399
How did you know?
1613
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,080
I heard you talking in the cafeteria.
1614
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:46,596
Only a real risk tests the
quality of a belief, right?
1615
01:44:54,960 --> 01:45:00,830
Let love explode and bring the dead to life
1616
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:09,077
A love so bold to see a revolution somehow
1617
01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:22,830
Let love explode and bring the dead to life
1618
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:31,358
A love so bold to see a revolution somehow
1619
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:37,758
Now I'm lost in your freedom
1620
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:44,994
And this world I'll overcome
1621
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:48,795
My God's not dead, he's surely alive
1622
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:52,993
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1623
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:56,198
My God's not dead, he's surely alive
1624
01:45:56,400 --> 01:46:00,439
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1625
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:07,273
Roaring, he's roaring, roaring like a lion
1626
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:14,955
Let hope arise and make the darkness hide
1627
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:17,872
My faith is dead
1628
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:23,837
I need a resurrection somehow
1629
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:29,592
Now I'm lost in your freedom
1630
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:36,708
And this world I'll overcome
1631
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:40,469
My God's not dead, he's surely alive
1632
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:44,719
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1633
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:47,793
My God's not dead, he's surely alive
1634
01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:52,113
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1635
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:58,839
Roaring, he's roaring, roaring like a lion
1636
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:02,555
He's roaring, he's roaring
1637
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:09,552
Let heaven roar and fire fall
1638
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:16,757
Come shake the ground
with the sound of revival
1639
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:23,957
Let Heaven roar and fire fall
1640
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:31,557
Come shake the ground
with the sound of revival
1641
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:38,399
What happened here tonight
is a cause for celebration.
1642
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:44,038
Pain, yes, for just a few moments, but now,
1643
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:47,596
think about the joy in heaven.
1644
01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:50,600
My God's not dead, he's surely alive
1645
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:54,873
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1646
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:57,958
My God's not dead, he's surely alive
1647
01:47:58,200 --> 01:48:02,273
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1648
01:48:02,480 --> 01:48:05,392
God's not dead, he's surely alive
1649
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:09,639
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1650
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:12,718
God's not dead, he's surely alive
1651
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:16,999
He's living on the inside,
roaring like a lion
1652
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:23,753
Roaring, he's roaring, roaring like a lion
1653
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:29,717
He's roaring, he's roaring,
roaring like a lion
1654
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:33,754
Roaring like a lion
1655
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:39,557
Our God is alive
1656
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:55,155
This is a story of your
life, a movie starring you
1657
01:48:55,360 --> 01:49:00,115
What's the next scene have for you to do?
1658
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:05,110
Leave the dishes in the sink,
leave your fear there too
1659
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:09,632
Live the story you would write for you
1660
01:49:09,840 --> 01:49:12,229
Say, hey, hey, wake your heart
1661
01:49:12,480 --> 01:49:14,710
And break, break, break apart
1662
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:19,710
The walls that keep you from being you
1663
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:22,229
And walk, walk towards the light
1664
01:49:22,440 --> 01:49:25,830
And don't stop 'til you live your life
1665
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:28,634
Like someone died for you
1666
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:33,550
This is the time to try
1667
01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:38,834
Just step out, your life is waiting
1668
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:46,037
And as you fall, you'll
find that you can fly
1669
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:53,551
This is the time to try
1670
01:49:53,760 --> 01:49:58,754
Just step out, your life is waiting
1671
01:49:58,960 --> 01:50:05,957
And as you fall, you'll
find that you can fly
1672
01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:15,116
You can find a million words
to build a wall of fear
1673
01:50:15,320 --> 01:50:20,235
Safe behind that wall, imprisoned here
1674
01:50:20,440 --> 01:50:25,070
Take that someday step today
to who you're meant to be
1675
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:29,592
And turn your dreams to
plans so you can breathe
1676
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:31,916
Say, hey, hey, wake your heart
1677
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:34,509
And break, break, break apart
1678
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:39,430
The walls that keep you from being you
1679
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:41,995
And walk, walk towards the light
1680
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:45,829
And don't stop 'til you live your life

And as you fall, you'll
find that you can fly
1685
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,912
Ask anyone whose time is up
1686
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,998
What they'd give for what you've got
1687
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:24,749
And how they'd live your life
1688
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:27,713
Live like your life's worth dying for
1689
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:30,434
You just walked out that prison door
1690
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:33,598
And you'll know how to live your life
