  • That religion is just absolutely uncalled for.

  • We are just mere things floating on a rock in space.

  • (Neil deGrasse Tyson) We are not only figuratively, but literally stardust.

  • You don't have to go to church on Christmas,

  • and it is about being good,

  • and that's what all religions are about anyway.

  • (Ray Comfort) Are you an atheist?

  • Yeah.

  • - Gonna kill yourself? - Yeah, I'd like to.

  • - So, you're an atheist? - Yes.

  • I need to know what to believe in.

  • (Stephen Colbert) Like, what happens when you die?

  • Yes, I don't want to be a bag of dust.

  • (Ray Comfort) David, are you an atheist?

  • Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) When did you become an atheist?

  • Around age 12.

  • Believing in God makes no sense.

  • To me, it's the dumbest thing.

  • It's for people who can't accept the fact that they're going

  • to die and rot in the ground like I'm going to do,

  • and it gives them some relief from that thought,

  • because that's not the nicest thought in the world.

  • (Ray Comfort) Are you an atheist?

  • Yes.

  • - Yes, I am. - Yes.

  • - Yes. - Yes, sir.

  • - Are you an atheist? - I am.

  • - Yeah, I'm an atheist. - Yes, I am.

  • (Ray Comfort) Alex, do you believe in God's existence?

  • No, I do not.

  • (Ray Comfort) How long have you been an atheist?

  • I would say probably since I was about 15 years old.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, you don't believe in the existence of God?

  • No, not really.

  • (Ray Comfort) What happened when you were 15?

  • I started questioning things, and I really just started

  • to think about the logic behind everything.

  • For the most part, we are not shown the evidence

  • for there being a higher power.

  • If we were, I almost guarantee that almost every atheist

  • would immediately agree to there being a higher power.

  • (Ray Comfort) Are you atheists?

  • - Yes. - Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) Why?

  • Well, I just haven't seen enough evidence I suppose.

  • I grew up in a Christian family

  • and, just over the few years during high school

  • and as I grew up,

  • I just realized that there wasn't a lot of evidence

  • to support that belief system.

  • (Ray Comfort) Are you open to evidence?

  • I think I am open to evidence.

  • It just would have to be extraordinarily compelling,

  • like out of this world compelling.

  • (Ray Comfort) If you could be given evidence, reasonable evidence,

  • would you listen to it?

  • Yeah, I would.

  • (Ray Comfort) You're someone who has no faith or no belief

  • in a higher power or a creator, but if you were shown evidence,

  • you would change your mind, because you're open.

  • Absolutely.

  • (Ray Comfort) Flick through the pages of the book

  • I just put on your lap.

  • Look at the color pictures and I'll ask you a question.

  • Do you believe that book could happen by accident?

  • That nothing produced the color pictures in the book?

  • That red, orange, yellow, green, blue,

  • indigo, violet ink fell from the sky

  • and formed itself into those beautiful pictures,

  • and then black ink fell from the sky, or from nowhere,

  • and formed itself into coherent words,

  • and sentences, capitals, and periods,

  • and commas, making sense?

  • Page numbers fell from the sky, all in order,

  • and then it bound itself and formed itself

  • into a cover without work?

  • And there we have a book.

  • Obviously, intelligent design designed the book.

  • - Wouldn't that be correct? - Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) Can you see where I'm going with this?

  • Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) Tell me, what is DNA?

  • (female) What is it, Deoxyribonucleic acid?

  • And it's what makes up our bodies, and our cells,

  • and everything that makes us who we are.

  • DNA is like our biological code,

  • kind of like binary zeros and ones.

  • Information about us, who we are, what makes us us,

  • parts of us, how we look, how we're built,

  • everything like that.

  • (Ray Comfort) Your genes instructed your cells how to make your eyes,

  • and what color your eyes should be

  • and your hair and your height and your personality.

  • Scientists call it the instruction book for life.

  • Basically.

  • (Joe Hanson) Everything that you are or ever will be made of

  • starts as a tiny book of instructions

  • found in each and every cell.

  • Every time your body wants to make something,

  • it goes back to the instruction book,

  • looks it up, and puts it together.

  • The book of you would have 46 chapters,

  • 1 for each chromosome.

  • Each of our books' 46 chapters

  • is between 48 and 250 million letters long.

  • That's 3.2 billion letters total.

  • This is the secret language of DNA.

  • This is the book of life.

  • - Instruction book for life. - Yes.

  • - Instruction book for life. - Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) DNA is made up of genes, and genes give instructions

  • to the cells as to how your body should grow.

  • Did you know that if those instructions,

  • the instruction book of your DNA, just your DNA,

  • was laid out end for end,

  • it would go to the sun and back a number of times.

  • That book of instructions is so comprehensive.

  • DNA is the genetic information encoded in the cell

  • of every living thing that instructs our cells

  • how to grow and how to function.

  • It's our genes that determine

  • whether our skin will be dark or light;

  • have brown or blue eyes, or red, or green, or yellow;

  • have red hair, be brunette, or blonde;

  • be tall or not so tall;

  • or the color of our feathers if we're a bird.

  • Whether we're humans, fish, animals, insects, or plant life,

  • the way our bodies look and operate has all been pre-written

  • in the amazing book of our DNA.

  • (Ray Comfort) What do you think of the mentality of someone

  • who believes a book fell together without a book maker?

  • Well, they would be crazy.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you think a book could make itself?

  • No, I don't.

  • Of course not.

  • No.

  • - Utterly impossible. - Yes.

  • Anything could happen by accident.

  • (Ray Comfort) I mean, from nothing.

  • Um, wow.

  • - Couldn't happen, could it? - I don't think so.

  • (Ray Comfort) That'd be impossible.

  • It would be like saying an explosion caused everything

  • that makes a 747 airplane

  • to all just come together by accident

  • without some intelligent thought behind it.

  • (Ray Comfort) That's a good point.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you believe DNA happened by accident?

  • No, I think that it developed over the course of many,

  • many millennia of evolution and development.

  • (Ray Comfort) DNA exists in every living thing.

  • Its origins don't matter.

  • The fact that there is intelligent information

  • tells us there must be an intelligent designer.

  • Is this making you think?

  • It is, and I do think about it from time to time.

  • It's just--yeah, it's complicated, definitely.

  • (Ray Comfort) Well, DNA's complicated,

  • but the point I'm trying to make is very simple.

  • Book, book designer or book maker.

  • DNA, intelligent designer, God.

  • - Does that make sense? - Yes.

  • - Are you an atheist? - I am.

  • (Ray Comfort) What would you think of the mentality of someone

  • who thought a physical book could make itself?

  • I think they'd be silly.

  • Of course it can't make itself.

  • (Ray Comfort) What would you think of the mentality

  • of someone who believed the instruction book for life,

  • DNA, made itself?

  • Well, I think it'd be silly as well.

  • It would need investigation.

  • (Ray Comfort) That's atheism.

  • Absolutely.

  • (Ray Comfort) And what would you think of the intelligence of someone

  • who believed the instruction book for life made itself?

  • Low. Low intelligence level.

  • DNA happened by accident?

  • Probably not too smart.

  • (Ray Comfort) DNA couldn't make itself. It's impossible.

  • - Does that make sense? - Yes.

  • - Is this making you think? - Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) And what would think of the person who believed that DNA,

  • the instruction book for life, happened by accident?

  • 'Cause we're not just talking about human beings,

  • we're talking about every form of life:

  • fleas, cats, dogs, elephants, cows, horses, trees, plants.

  • Everything has DNA, the instruction book for life,

  • which makes the book in your hand

  • just seem feeble compared to the infinite intelligence that

  • must have put the instruction book for life together.

  • Can you see what I'm saying?

  • Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you believe DNA happened by accident?

  • I believe it could.

  • (Ray Comfort) Explain it to me, how a program could make itself

  • out of nothing on how to make a human eye, giraffe's eyes,

  • elephant's eyes, cats, dogs, puppies, flowers, birds, trees.

  • Every living thing has DNA that's so complex,

  • it's mind-boggling.

  • There must have been a genius beyond any human reasoning

  • that put it together.

  • And to say it happened by chance is infinitely sillier

  • than saying a physical book happened by chance.

  • All I'm doing is reasoning with you.

  • I'm not--I don't want to win an argument.

  • I'm just saying I want you to concede something

  • that's absolutely common sense.

  • You're an atheist, so you believe

  • the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything?

  • I mean, it can't be nothing.

  • We all have to start from some point.

  • I wouldn't say nothing created it.

  • There had to be something there in the beginning.

  • (Ray Comfort) You like Richard Dawkins, don't you?

  • Well, I mean, you know, yeah, I like him.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you believe nothing created everything,

  • a scientific impossibility, which is what he believes?

  • (Ray Comfort) You don't believe in a creator of all things?

  • If he says that, I think it's a very strange thing to say.

  • (Ray Comfort) Well, he says it.

  • It's insane.

  • Nothing can create anything, 'cause it's nothing.

  • There has to be something in the beginning.

  • Nowhere in our history of human reality

  • has something kind of just appeared out of nowhere.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you believe that nothing created everything?

  • No, because nothing can't perform actions.

  • That makes no sense.

  • (Ray Comfort) It's a default position.

  • If you're saying nothing created everything,

  • then you're agreeing with Richard Dawkins.

  • You're mischaracterizing Richard Dawkins,

  • because Richard Dawkins, I'm sure he didn't say that.

  • That seems ridiculous.

  • (Ray Comfort) Professor Richard Dawkins, arguably the world's

  • most high-profile atheist, believes that in the beginning

  • there was nothing, and that nothing created everything.

  • As he attempts to justify this belief,

  • admitting that it defies common sense,

  • the learned professor calls nothing something.

  • Watch the reaction of his audience.

  • Of course it's counter-intuitive

  • that you can get something from nothing.

  • Of course common sense doesn't allow you

  • to get something from nothing.

  • That's why it's interesting.

  • It's got to be interesting in order to give rise

  • to the universe at all.

  • Something pretty mysterious had to give rise

  • to the origin of the universe.

  • But exactly what's meant by nothing,

  • but whatever it is, it's very, very simple.

  • [audience laughing]

  • (Richard Dawkins) Why is that funny?

  • (George Pell) Well, I think it's a bit funny to be trying to define nothing.

  • Richard Dawkins, I'm sure he didn't say that.

  • That seems ridiculous.

  • (Ray Comfort) The audience reaction confused the normally

  • eloquent professor because he's not used to

  • being the object of laughter.

  • What he didn't realize was he was talking to people

  • who were endowed by their Creator

  • with a virtue of common sense.

  • This was just another case where the emperor has no clothes.

  • Someone should tell this man who has deceived millions,

  • "You're talking foolishness."

  • (Ray Comfort) Is that what you believe?

  • I mean, it can't be nothing.

  • We all have to start from some point.

  • (Ray Comfort) But there has to be something that created everything.

  • It just wasn't God.

  • Is that what you're saying?

  • Yeah.

  • It's just evolution,

  • how things became from one organism into many.

  • (Ray Comfort) But that doesn't solve your dilemma of the initial cause.

  • There has to be initial cause.

  • If there was a big bang in space that, from there

  • issued cats and dogs and horses and cows,

  • the sun, the moon, the stars, the seasons,

  • and all this marvel of creation came from a big explosion,

  • what caused the explosion,

  • and where did the materials come from for the explosion,

  • and why is there such incredible order from the explosion?

  • Every explosion I've heard of creates chaos, not order.

  • That make sense?

  • Well, yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) This is what you're looking for.

  • If you were looking for truth, this is your information

  • that you need to say, "Whoa, that's logical.

  • How could all this design from the atom to the universe

  • and incredible order just happen by accident?"

  • 'Cause an atheist actually believes

  • nothing created everything,

  • which is scientifically impossible.

  • I'm trying to say, "Hayley, I just want you to think."

  • You're not just a blob of nothing

  • that came from an explosion

  • which created order, which is against nature.

  • That means that you've got purpose and meaning

  • in the universe, so it's not altogether bad news.

  • I just want a relationship with whoever built me.

  • This is too much, too weird that it happened by accident.

  • It didn't happen by accident. I don't feel it did.

  • (Ray Comfort) In June of 2016, I interviewed theoretical physicist

  • Professor Lawrence Krauss and asked him

  • the same questions I asked the university students.

  • I was limited to only asking questions,

  • but he was very gracious and it was an honor to meet him.

  • Lawrence, why are you an atheist?

  • Well, you know, I don't call myself an atheist

  • any more than I call myself an a-leprechaunist.

  • In fact, I don't label myself as -ist.

  • The only -ist I might use is a scientist,

  • and that's really important to me,

  • because as a scientist,

  • I don't accept things without evidence,

  • and there's certainly no evidence for God.

  • And all the stories about the different gods,

  • as there have been thousands of them,

  • all seem equally ridiculous.

  • There's millions.

  • Yeah, probably at least millions.

  • Are you open to evidence?

  • I'm absolutely open to evidence.

  • In fact, I change my mind all the time.

  • That's the great thing about being a scientist.

  • Unlike religion, we don't assume we have all the answers.

  • In fact, we ask the questions

  • and we let nature tell us the answers.

  • I notice you picked up this book before.

  • Do you believe this book could make itself?

  • Let me give you this scenario.

  • That ink fell on the pages?

  • Colored photos just manifest when ink fell out of nowhere?

  • The sentences became coherent with periods and commas?

  • No, but--which is one of the reasons

  • why the way that the Bible was written by humans,

  • 'cause it didn't make itself.

  • There was some bunch of largely literate Iron Age peasants

  • who were trying to understand the world,

  • and didn't know much about science,

  • and they wrote, in different forms, books.

  • Okay, so the fourth question--

  • Could a book arise spontaneously from nothing?

  • Absolutely.

  • But could it make itself? No.

  • There's two very different things.

  • Because you're implying design, intent, et cetera,

  • which is what, of course, you do.

  • DNA is called the book of life.

  • Could DNA make itself?

  • Well, see, that's where the question is ridiculous,

  • because in fact,

  • DNA doesn't make itself any more than a snowflake makes itself.

  • A snowflake is a beautiful, beautiful thing

  • and it's assembled by nature.

  • It doesn't make itself.

  • It's the laws of physics and chemistry, polar molecules,

  • that make this incredibly complex, beautiful structure.

  • Now, the same thing with DNA.

  • DNA is an amazing structure and the laws of physics,

  • chemistry, and ultimately biology,

  • which derives from that, will, in principle,

  • explain how DNA first arose.

  • You give me the laws of polar molecules

  • and I'll give you a snowflake.

  • There's no intent, no grand purpose,

  • no design behind it, even though they look designed.

  • The illusion of design is an illusion.

  • (Ray Comfort) Natural law does indeed produce

  • complex structures like snowflakes,

  • but the law that produces that kind of complexity

  • is simply the same chemical reaction

  • repeating over and over.

  • That is not information.

  • What's stored in the DNA molecule

  • is specified information

  • like the information found in a book or a computer program.

  • The fact that a book requires an author

  • and a program requires a programmer is not an illusion.

  • It is factual, as seen in the real world around us.

  • It isn't apparent design, it is real design,

  • as any college student can tell you.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you believe the instruction book for life

  • happened by chance?

  • No.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, it couldn't happen by chance, could it?

  • No.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, where did the intelligent information

  • to selectively arrange

  • the building blocks of DNA come from?

  • That know-how and forethought does not exist

  • in any of the materials from which life is made,

  • and the laws of nature have no purpose for capacity

  • to write a book or arrange its pages.

  • So, where did that specified information come from?

  • Its origin is certainly supernatural.

  • What Professor Krauss completely overlooks

  • is the external nature of the information

  • encoded into the DNA molecule,

  • a complete set of software instructions

  • directing the formation and reproduction of human beings,

  • both male and female, and all other living things.

  • Bill Gates once said,

  • "DNA is like a computer software program,

  • but far, far more advanced than any software ever created."

  • (Ray Comfort) Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

  • I'd have to say the chicken.

  • - The chicken. - What do you think?

  • - The chicken. - Chicken.

  • - Chicken? - Chicken.

  • - And what about you? - The egg.

  • (Ray Comfort) Egg, okay.

  • - Was the egg fertilized? - You got me.

  • You got me there. There ain't no way.

  • Maybe God created the chicken,

  • so then that's how the egg came.

  • But you got me, I don't know.

  • I didn't think that far into it I guess.

  • Maybe most likely the chicken, I would say.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, if the chicken came first, it then laid an egg, okay?

  • Was the egg fertilized?

  • Hmm.

  • Don't know.

  • - The egg. - The egg?

  • Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) This chicken that produced the first egg,

  • was the egg fertilized?

  • It would have to be.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, there's a rooster?

  • So, there was a rooster.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, there's a rooster and a chicken.

  • Where did they come from?

  • They all came from the stars.

  • (Charlie Rose) You said, "I am, we are, stardust."

  • - Yes. - What does that mean?

  • For me, the most astonishing fact is that the molecules

  • that comprise our body are traceable--

  • are traceable to the crucibles of the centers of stars.

  • And we are not only figuratively

  • but literally stardust.

  • (Ray Comfort) Okay, so where did you come from?

  • I came from the stars.

  • (Ray Comfort) No, no, you came from your parents.

  • Ha ha, obviously I did, yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) Where did they come from?

  • They come from their parents?

  • - And where did they come from? - From their parents.

  • (Ray Comfort) Right back to Adam.

  • Correct.

  • (Ray Comfort) And Adam was created by God, and He made male and female,

  • and He made the birds of the air and made them male and female

  • so they could reproduces after their own kind.

  • Okay, explain this to me

  • if you really believe in evolution.

  • Before it had eyes, how did it see?

  • 'Cause the eyes have to evolve,

  • 'cause the thing's evolving from stardust.

  • Correct. So, they probably didn't see.

  • - They felt. - Felt?

  • (Ray Comfort) Did it have a brain?

  • Or it couldn't have a brain until a brain evolved.

  • So, how did it think to look for food?

  • And where did the food come from?

  • And why did the food evolve? And did they have lungs?

  • Do you think the chicken thing,

  • before it evolved into chicken, had lungs?

  • I'm not too sure.

  • It's all about survival instinct, so, you know.

  • (Ray Comfort) It's not going to survive if it didn't have lungs.

  • And if it breathed air, was the air 20% oxygen as it is now?

  • And why did the air evolve? And why did it evolve lungs?

  • And how did it survive before it had lungs

  • and see before it had eyes and think before it had a brain

  • and eat before it had an appetite?

  • Doesn't really make sense when you think about it,

  • 'cause you go to translate that

  • to elephants, horses, cats, cows, human beings.

  • Every living thing apparently evolved from stars

  • had to evolve eyes and ears and a mouth and a nose

  • and lungs and heart and kidneys.

  • Let's go back to something more simple

  • regarding that first chicken that came from the stars.

  • Which came first in the chicken: was it its blood or its heart

  • or its blood vessels?

  • Which evolved first?

  • I do not know that answer.

  • (Ray Comfort) Well, if it was the heart,

  • why did the heart evolve when there was no blood?

  • If it was the blood, why did the blood evolve

  • when there was no heart to pump it around?

  • If there were no blood vessels,

  • how did the blood get around the body of the chicken

  • to keep it alive if there was no heart to pump it?

  • (male) I've always had the doubts.

  • It's like, we've been here for how long

  • and we still haven't evolved,

  • or what are we going to evolve into?

  • (Ray Comfort) Can you think of anyone that isn't fully evolved,

  • anything on earth?

  • Dogs have four legs.

  • They have a tongue and eyes and ears.

  • Everything's fully evolved.

  • People have--they don't have a half-evolved leg.

  • You don't see someone with a semi-evolved leg

  • or half an ear or half a nose, half an eye, half teeth?

  • Everything's fully evolved, 'cause the Bible says

  • when God created all things, it was finished.

  • So, everything's finished.

  • The fruits, the flowers, the birds, the trees,

  • the nuts, the giraffes, horses, cats, cows,

  • everything is fully finished.

  • And what it does is disproves evolution

  • and establishes the Bible

  • in saying that God created everything

  • fully finished with the ability to reproduce

  • after their own kind as male and female.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you think God exists?

  • A designer?

  • I'm open to the idea, of course.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you trust your eyes?

  • To an extent, yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) Is there such a thing as a sunrise?

  • No, it's an illusion.

  • We move and thus giving the illusion that the sun moves.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, there's no sunrise, no sunset.

  • Don't trust your own heart, because your heart--

  • your eyes will tell you

  • there's water on the highway on a hot day.

  • You'll see it shimmering. Well, do you stop?

  • Do you wash and clean your teeth or have a drink?

  • It's not even there. Your eyes are lying to you.

  • Any sleight of hand magician will say don't trust your eyes.

  • And the Bible says,

  • "He who trusts his heart is a fool."

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you believe in God's existence?

  • In a sense, I guess.

  • (Ray Comfort) What sort of sense?

  • I would say that there's some kind of governing unity

  • that binds humanity and such, but I don't think of, I guess,

  • a divine leader or something like that.

  • God itself can't be described as a person or a being.

  • It's more of a all-encompassing energy if you will.

  • - Like an energy drink? - Yes, absolutely.

  • (Ray Comfort) You are a moral being. You're not like a dog or a cat.

  • You care about justice and truth.

  • That's why you're upset about little kids

  • getting killed and molested,

  • because you're made in God's image.

  • If you were a dog, you couldn't care less,

  • but you're created in God's image

  • with a knowledge of right and wrong.

  • (Ray Comfort) The reason most people aren't Christians

  • is because of what's called idolatry.

  • They've got a wrong concept of what God is.

  • Take Richard Dawkins. Have you heard of him?

  • Of course, yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) Richard Dawkins is not an atheist,

  • he's an idolater.

  • What an idolater normally does is pick out the--

  • like, treat God like a buffet.

  • When you go to a buffet, you take the nice things,

  • the sweet things that you like.

  • Well, an idolater normally says

  • God is merciful, love, and kind,

  • and they just create a false God with no sense of justice.

  • Richard Dawkins, instead of doing that,

  • he goes through the Old Testament

  • and takes the judgments of God, the wrath of God,

  • and he creates a monster

  • with no sense of mercy or justice.

  • Richard, in your books,

  • you've been pretty scathing

  • about the God of the Old Testament.

  • Let me just quote you, if I may.

  • "The most unpleasant character in all fiction.

  • Misogynistic, homophobic, racist, genocidal,

  • megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic," and you go on.

  • To argue for intelligent design is one thing.

  • To use it as evidence

  • of the truth of Christianity is another.

  • (Ray Comfort) Have I given you something to think about today?

  • I would say you have.

  • It doesn't change my viewpoint.

  • (Ray Comfort) This has given you something to think about.

  • But I don't believe in God or the Bible.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you now believe in God?

  • No.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, you're still an atheist.

  • You still think the book made itself.

  • (Ray Comfort) Are you now no longer an atheist?

  • Yeah, I still am.

  • (Ray Comfort) You're holding on to, "The book made itself"?

  • Why would you do that?

  • (Ray Comfort) Are you no longer an atheist?

  • I would still go as an atheist.

  • (Ray Comfort) You know in your heart God's exists.

  • I know you know for many reasons.

  • One was, unlike you, I was running from God too.

  • And two, the Bible says God has given light to every man,

  • and when you put that light out, when you dull that conscience

  • and your inner knowledge of God's existence,

  • Jesus said,

  • "When that light is put out, how great is that darkness?"

  • You're like a man

  • who takes the batteries out of a smoke detector

  • 'cause he doesn't like being alarmed by the smoke detector.

  • And all he's doing is doing himself a tremendous disservice,

  • 'cause when he goes to sleep and there's a fire,

  • there's nothing to warn him.

  • And you're going to go to sleep without that conscience

  • telling you what to do 'cause you've dulled it.

  • You've taken the batteries out.

  • And I'm saying, let it be renewed today.

  • Stir up your conscience.

  • Think about your mortality, your death.

  • When the Bible calls an atheist a fool,

  • it doesn't mean a clown or a court jester.

  • When it calls him a fool, it's because he's denying

  • the inner light that God's given to every man,

  • the knowledge of right and wrong.

  • It says, "Their foolish hearts were darkened

  • and they embraced a lie rather than the truth."

  • They believed a lie rather than the truth,

  • which is what atheism is, it's a lie.

  • I'm giving you evidence and facts.

  • Just as a physical book, by logic and reason,

  • has a maker, so the instruction book

  • containing infinite wisdom and intelligence

  • and instructions beyond any human comprehension

  • is evidence of the existence of an intelligent designer.

  • But the reason you want to fight it is the same reason

  • a thief doesn't want to phone a policeman.

  • The last thing you want is God in your life

  • because you love your porn,

  • you love your premarital sex, your fornication.

  • In a sense, I'm preaching to the choir

  • because I know that you know that the Creator exists.

  • The Bible says you're given the truth by God,

  • but you suppress it in unrighteousness.

  • You hold it down.

  • Every single one of us know that there's a Creator,

  • but we don't know the truth of Christianity,

  • and that's what we're called to do as Christians,

  • bring the truth of Christianity so that you can live forever.

  • This Creator became a person

  • and made it so you can have everlasting life

  • if you're interested.

  • If you're not, it's your choice,

  • but I know that you want to live.

  • So, the argument for intelligent design

  • isn't to convince people of the Christian message.

  • It's just to show them the insanity of atheism.

  • Isaac Newton said, "Atheism is so senseless."

  • That's the father of science.

  • And it is.

  • It's senseless, 'cause you're given senses:

  • seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling.

  • Think of your taste buds, how incredible they are,

  • sitting there waiting for food to come.

  • They all rejoice and leap for joy

  • when there's good food and it gives you pleasure.

  • And think of what you're able to look on,

  • the flowers and the birds

  • and hear the birds in the morning

  • and see the trees raising their arms in praise to God

  • and the blueness of the sky and the warmth of the sun.

  • That sun's 93 million miles away.

  • We're spinning in space 1,000 miles an hour,

  • round and round.

  • We're going through space at 63,000 miles an hour.

  • And that sun is sending rays 93 million miles,

  • and it's just warm enough to ripen your tomatoes.

  • (Ray Comfort) This is very clear evidence.

  • It's like there's nothing to think about.

  • It's either nothing made everything

  • or something made everything.

  • Some things made everything, not something in particular,

  • not one--like, not one specific thing.

  • (Ray Comfort) You know what you're trying to do?

  • You're trying to get away from moral responsibility to God.

  • That's really your argument, and that's what the Bible says.

  • (Ray Comfort) There has to be an intelligent mind

  • beyond human reasoning to put DNA together.

  • Does that make sense?

  • That makes sense.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, why can't we make the leap from there across to saying,

  • "Yeah, atheism can't be true"?

  • I don't know, to be honest. I'm not really too sure.

  • (Ray Comfort) Examine your motives. There must be a hidden motive.

  • Let me see if I can guess what it is, okay?

  • Let's see if I can put my finger on it.

  • If you acknowledge that God does exist,

  • you're admitting you're ultimately responsible to Him.

  • I'm going right to why you've got

  • such a big problem with this.

  • This is so simple. Someone made the book.

  • Someone created DNA.

  • You don't want to say someone who's intelligent,

  • because you're into porn,

  • you're into sex with your girlfriend.

  • It gives you so much pleasure

  • and you don't want to give it up.

  • And if God exists, then that's going to put

  • a big wet blanket on everything.

  • And that's not an exciting thought for someone

  • who loves pornography and fornication

  • and all the things that come with it,

  • 'cause there's incredible pleasure

  • in fornication and pornography.

  • And so what you do is you deny the existence of God

  • because it gives you license to do those things

  • without a feeling of guilt.

  • If God does exist, wow, you're in big trouble,

  • so what you do is deny His existence.

  • Am I touching a raw nerve? Am I close?

  • In a way, yeah.

  • - Make sense? - Makes sense.

  • (Ray Comfort) That makes sense. I'm still an atheist.

  • Makes sense. I'm still an atheist.

  • The book made itself. It couldn't make itself.

  • - Can you see what you're doing? - Yeah, I'm lying to myself.

  • (Ray Comfort) Yeah.

  • - Say that again. - I'm lying to myself.

  • (Ray Comfort) The Bible puts it this way: "And this is the condemnation,

  • that the light has come into the world,

  • and men love darkness rather than light,

  • because their deeds were evil.

  • For everyone practicing evil hates the light

  • and does not come to the light,

  • lest his deeds should be exposed."

  • So, why don't you check your own heart and say,

  • "Am I really seeking truth here,

  • or am I trying to run like Adam did from God?"

  • You know?

  • Right.

  • (Ray Comfort) 'Cause it's not--Andrew, it's not altogether bad news

  • for an atheist if God does exist.

  • I'll tell you why.

  • It means that you are not just a nothingness that happened

  • because of an accident in space.

  • It means you've got worth. You've got purpose.

  • There's right and wrong.

  • It means there's a way past the thing you have to face,

  • this thing called death that consumes everyone.

  • (Stephen Colbert) What do you worry about?

  • - I mean, midlife crisis-- - I fear death.

  • - Death? - Yes.

  • Okay. Maybe you'll go to Heaven.

  • - You'll die and go to Heaven. - Okay, that's--I need help.

  • (Ray Comfort) The Bible says that we're tormented by a fear of death,

  • but we're so proud we don't mention it

  • because it makes us seem vulnerable and weak.

  • It's very rare to speak of this in private, let alone in public.

  • I need to know what to believe in.

  • (Stephen Colbert) Like what happens when you die?

  • Yes, I don't want to be a bag of dust.

  • None of us are really sure

  • of anything that happens after we die.

  • (Ray Comfort) Oh yeah, I'm absolutely sure, 100%.

  • Fifty-four million people a year die.

  • A lot die young.

  • And if God exists, then there's possibly a way past death.

  • And I'm saying, man, there is.

  • There really is.

  • What you gotta do is get to square one

  • and soften your heart and say, "Okay, this is evidence.

  • I'm no longer an atheist.

  • Tell me what you want to say."

  • That make sense?

  • Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) The book that I handed to the atheists is called,

  • "Made in Heaven,"

  • a publication that explores 32 modern inventions

  • who designs were copied from nature.

  • Among other things, scientists studied

  • the shape of birds to design an airplane,

  • the mosquito when creating a syringe,

  • and the earthworm in building the machine

  • that dug the English Chunnel.

  • In 2015, world surfing champion Kelly Slater

  • and his team of technicians produced a man-made wave.

  • They too copied nature's design.

  • They called it man made,

  • but they actually used existing water,

  • existing ground under the water,

  • and pre-existing laws of energy to create the wave.

  • It took years for a team of very intelligent designers

  • to create this one wave.

  • (male) I'm 100% positive our team built

  • the best wave that anyone's ever made.

  • It's a freak of technology.

  • (Ray Comfort) Here is their blueprint.

  • The Scriptures say that God gave the care of the earth

  • into the hands of mankind

  • and that He's given us richly all things to enjoy.

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • ♪♪♪

  • (Ray Comfort) Of course, atheists believe no such thing.

  • They're convinced that all these pleasures

  • came about by pure chance,

  • that it was fortunate that after the Big Bang,

  • the earth just happened to form and began circling the sun,

  • that gravity also came into being

  • to keep us from spinning into space.

  • They believe it was fortunate that the atmosphere

  • formed itself around the planet and that the sun ended up

  • at just the right distance to support life.

  • It was also an amazing coincidence that water appeared,

  • and even more miraculously that inanimate matter

  • somehow came to life.

  • And then, inexplicably, that first simple cell

  • reproduced itself and became increasingly complex

  • to create all the plant, animal, and human life we see.

  • They believe it was just happenstance

  • that over 1 million species evolved

  • with both male and female,

  • each with the corresponding reproductive parts,

  • and that thousands of different types of trees evolved,

  • and not only to furnish us with wood to build houses,

  • but to breathe in our carbon dioxide

  • and breathe out the oxygen essential for our life.

  • What a happy coincidence that cows give us meat,

  • leather, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, and ice cream,

  • and that chickens give us finger-licking good food

  • and protein-packed eggs,

  • and that sheep give us wool and meat.

  • Atheists also believe that it was by chance

  • that there are thousands of delicious plants,

  • fruits, vegetables, and nuts

  • that are beneficial to the health of humanity.

  • How kind God is to give us all these things,

  • and on top of that,

  • to give us the ability and the pleasure

  • to reproduce after our own kind.

  • All the combined atheists in the world,

  • shaking their tiny, rebellious fists at their Creator,

  • are together like a minuscule bug

  • on the face of this massive earth

  • that is nothing but a tiny dot

  • in an unspeakably immense universe,

  • created by Almighty God.

  • (male) I'm assuming you study anthropology

  • quite well to say this.

  • (Ray Comfort) Have you ever heard of an atheistic tribe?

  • They always worship something, a totem pole, the sun,

  • or something, because God has given light to every man.

  • That's because we, as humans, we try to make sense of things

  • that we don't know, and that's-- and most of the time,

  • that's where we make our mistake.

  • (Ray Comfort) I couldn't say that for them.

  • I say they are making sense of something they do know.

  • They look at creation or nature and know.

  • Look at the order of everything.

  • We're on a great, big piece of dirt,

  • flying through space at 63,000 miles an hour,

  • circling the sun once a year.

  • Seasons come 'round, winter, spring,

  • summer, autumn, every year.

  • Everything's clockwork.

  • We can predict the sunrise 100 years from now

  • to the very second because there's such order in nature.

  • (Ray Comfort) You know how many people die every year?

  • Millions and millions.

  • (Ray Comfort) Fifty-four million people every year.

  • People just like you and me with a will to live

  • saying in their heart, "Oh, I don't want to die.

  • I love life. It's so precious."

  • And acknowledging that God exists

  • is the first step in that area.

  • And to acknowledge that God exists,

  • you've just got to have a humble heart and say,

  • "Okay, I'm going to be open."

  • You know the Bible's full of scientific facts

  • that weren't discovered til thousands of years later?

  • I didn't know that.

  • (Ray Comfort) Yeah, it says the earth hangs upon nothing

  • in the book of Isaiah.

  • Okay.

  • (Ray Comfort) That's written 800 years B.C., which shows divine inspiration,

  • because how could they know in those days

  • about the earth's free-float in space?

  • The earth hangs upon nothing. The earth's free-float in space.

  • Wash your hands under running water

  • before we understood the diseases.

  • Spoke of quarantining.

  • It said the earth is round.

  • It says in Leviticus the life of the flesh is in the flood.

  • We didn't know that.

  • You give your doctor a vile of blood

  • and he can tell you how your flesh is doing,

  • your whole body, tell you what's going on in there,

  • 'cause the life of the flesh is in the blood.

  • You know something, I don't even want to get any older.

  • I hope I got enough guts

  • to get myself out of this stinkin' planet.

  • (Ray Comfort) You're going to kill yourself?

  • Yeah, I'd like to.

  • - Please don't do that, Richard. - No, no, if I--

  • (Ray Comfort) You've got worth. You've got worth.

  • There's a reason for your existence.

  • Anymore--I can't--

  • (Ray Comfort) Only as an atheist you believe like that.

  • Creation is enough for you to know God exists.

  • Conscience is enough to know that it requires morality.

  • The commandments condemn you.

  • And the last thing is conversion.

  • All you have to do is repent, trust Christ,

  • and you'll come to know God.

  • And that's the gauntlet I throw right in front of you.

  • I say, "Richard, you've got nothing to lose."

  • You're going to die.

  • It could be tonight. It could be tomorrow.

  • Every year 54 million people die.

  • What have you got to lose but your pride?

  • You think Hell exists?

  • No, that I don't.

  • (Ray Comfort) Okay, see if I convince you of that, all right?

  • If a man rapes your mother and cut her throat,

  • he should be punished.

  • He should be.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, if you feel like that, where do you get it from?

  • It's because you were created in God's image.

  • God believes in right and wrong.

  • He says He set aside a day in which He'll judge

  • the world in righteousness.

  • Think of a man like Hitler, what he did.

  • He slaughtered 11 million people,

  • 6 million of them Jews.

  • Men, women, and children that were subjected

  • to horrors beyond words.

  • Hell is God's prison, the place where people

  • receive justice without parole, damned forever,

  • which is a terribly scary thought.

  • This is the problem.

  • We find it difficult to reconcile God being good

  • and He creating Hell.

  • How can He be loving and kind and good?

  • I wrote a book called, "Hitler, God, and the Bible,"

  • and I studied the Holocaust in research for the book

  • and I saw things that just made me weep,

  • horrors beyond words.

  • Young girls, teenage girls, who were hung by the neck

  • just because they didn't agree with the Nazi politics.

  • They were called Partisans.

  • They hung them with thin rope to make it more agonizing,

  • and as they were in the death struggle,

  • there's pictures of Nazis laughing at them

  • as they hung by the neck and died.

  • And I thought to myself, "If God is good,

  • how can there not be a Hell?"

  • There must be punishment for wickedness.

  • Does that make sense?

  • Yeah, it makes complete sense.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, what are you going to do on Judgment Day?

  • How do you think you'll do? Are you a good person?

  • I don't know that I'm a good person.

  • I don't really lie, cheat, or steal, so.

  • (Ray Comfort) You don't lie?

  • You know what? Never mind.

  • (Ray Comfort) I'm going to move away

  • from your intellect to your conscience, all right?

  • Okay.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you think you're a good person?

  • Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you think you're a good person?

  • If there's a Heaven, are you going to make it there?

  • Yeah.

  • If there is a Heaven, I hope I'd make it there.

  • (Ray Comfort) Where are you going when you die?

  • I don't know.

  • I believe I'll go to Heaven, but--

  • (Ray Comfort) Why would you go to Heaven?

  • What did you do to merit everlasting life?

  • That's the question.

  • That's the question.

  • I--wow, I don't know what I did, but I--

  • (Ray Comfort) It must have been pretty big to get everlasting life.

  • Right?

  • Well, wow, that's interesting. That is a big thinker.

  • - Are you a Christian? - I'm currently a Catholic.

  • (Ray Comfort) Have you been born again?

  • I'm not sure what that means.

  • (Ray Comfort) Well, Jesus said in John chapter 3,

  • "Unless someone's born again, they'll not enter Heaven,"

  • so this is real important.

  • It's like the difference between believing in a parachute

  • and actually putting one on.

  • Things are fine until you jump, you know?

  • So, the Bible says, "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ,"

  • and you do that through the new birth.

  • The only way you'll see a need to be born again

  • would be probably the same way

  • you see a need to put on a parachute.

  • If you didn't want to put a parachute on,

  • probably the best thing I could do for you

  • is hang you out the plane by your ankles for 2 seconds.

  • You'll come in and say, "Give me that parachute."

  • (Ray Comfort) Now, Hayley, I'm going to change gears

  • and just talk about the same thing

  • from a different angle, okay?

  • - Can you handle that? - Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) You're not going to get upset?

  • No.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, let's do that.

  • I'm going to hang you out the plane for a second, okay?

  • (Ray Comfort) Hayley, do you think you're a good person.

  • I do.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you think you're a good person?

  • I mean, I think so.

  • Yeah.

  • I would like to think so.

  • I'm a good person.

  • I think I'm a very good person.

  • - What about you? - Sure.

  • (Ray Comfort) How many lies do you think you've told in your whole life?

  • Too many.

  • Ha-ha, plenty of white lies,

  • but I don't think anything serious.

  • I'd say about 1,000.

  • Thousands.

  • (Ray Comfort) The download of music off the Internet that's not yours.

  • Say, from, like, a website?

  • Then yes.

  • Music off the Internet's stealing.

  • Yeah, it certainly is.

  • - You ever stolen something? - Not really.

  • (Ray Comfort) Come on. What do you mean not really?

  • Sort of half a diamond?

  • (Ray Comfort) You ever stolen something, even if it's small?

  • Yeah.

  • - We're all sinners. - You've lied and stolen?

  • I've lied, but I've never stolen.

  • (Ray Comfort) You ever downloaded music off the Internet that's not yours?

  • Yes.

  • - That's theft. - Yeah, ha-ha-ha.

  • Yeah, I've stolen.

  • (Ray Comfort) You've got a multitude of sins. You're just like me.

  • Every thought you've had that's been godless,

  • you've stirred up as wrath.

  • (Ray Comfort) Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust,

  • you commit adultery with her in your heart.

  • - Did you know that? - No.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you lust after women?

  • Sometimes.

  • - Look at pornography? - No.

  • (Ray Comfort) Tell lies?

  • All the time.

  • (Ray Comfort) Ha-ha, so you do look at pornography?

  • No.

  • I mean, everybody does.

  • It's not like nobody does, but--

  • (Ray Comfort) So, you do?

  • Yeah, sometimes.

  • (Ray Comfort) Have you ever looked at a woman with lust?

  • All the time.

  • The thing is, about that, I do have trouble with that,

  • with that concept, with that idea.

  • Because this is now no longer a sin of what you do,

  • but rather what you think.

  • It's a thought crime.

  • (Ray Comfort) You think murder, God says you've committed murder.

  • You think adultery, you've committed adultery,

  • 'cause God considers the desire the same as the deed

  • 'cause He knows you'd do it if you had a chance.

  • Lady next door says, "Come on over, honey,"

  • you'd be over like greased lightning

  • if you had the opportunity.

  • God knows.

  • He knows the thoughts and motives of the heart,

  • because we love darkness and hate the light.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you look at pornography?

  • No, I have a girlfriend, actually,

  • and she'd be really [bleep] if she found out.

  • (Ray Comfort) You ever look at pornography?

  • I've looked at pornography, yeah.

  • Treated women like candy.

  • You didn't ask me that at first.

  • You asked me do I currently, and I said no.

  • (Ray Comfort) You don't need to, because you're fornicating.

  • True.

  • (Ray Comfort) Have you had sex out of marriage?

  • Oh yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) Have you ever used God's name in vain?

  • Yes.

  • - What about you? - Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) Have you ever used God's name in vain?

  • Absolutely.

  • - OMG. - Then yes.

  • - Oh yeah, all the time. - That's blasphemy.

  • (Ray Comfort) Jesus said if you look with lust,

  • you commit adultery in the heart.

  • - Have you ever done that? - Absolutely.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, Hayley, I'm not judging you, but you've just told me

  • you're a lying thief, a blasphemer.

  • (Ray Comfort) Fornicator, an idolater, an adulterer,

  • and you've violated all His commandments

  • if you study them.

  • It comes so naturally to me.

  • (Ray Comfort) That's exactly what the Bible says.

  • We naturally do that which is wrong.

  • He made me that way!

  • (Ray Comfort) You can't blame God for your own moral--

  • If He made me with a sinful nature,

  • then how is He going to blame me?

  • It's like you make a car and it doesn't run,

  • and then you get mad at the car.

  • (Ray Comfort) No, it's not, 'cause a car isn't a moral agent.

  • You've been given a conscience. You know right from wrong.

  • "Con" is with, "Science" is knowledge.

  • So, every time you have fornicated, lusted,

  • looked at pornography, lied, or stolen,

  • you've done it with knowledge that it's wrong.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, Leigh, you've just told me you're a lying thief and--

  • A blasphemous adulterer at heart,

  • and that's only four of the Ten Commandments.

  • You have to face God on Judgment Day,

  • whether you believe in Him or not.

  • Well, now you believe.

  • If He judges you by the Ten Commandments on Judgment Day,

  • do you think you'd be innocent or guilty?

  • Guilty.

  • Most likely guilty.

  • I suppose guilty.

  • I would be 100% guilty.

  • I'd be guilty just like everyone else.

  • Everybody does bad stuff,

  • so I would be guilty of those things.

  • - Heaven or Hell? - Hell.

  • Hell.

  • Well, if there is a Hell, I would say

  • I would be making my way down there.

  • Hell.

  • Hell.

  • Hell.

  • - Does that concern you? - A little bit, yeah.

  • How can He let some of the stuff happen

  • that we wouldn't let happen.

  • We'd go to jail for doing certain things

  • that he lets happen.

  • Why doesn't He have a little more--

  • show a little more compassion?

  • (Ray Comfort) When you look at what happened in Nazi Germany,

  • instead of saying,

  • "If God is good, how can He create Hell?"

  • you've got to come out saying,

  • "If God is good, how can there not be a Hell?"

  • There must be retribution for murder and justice.

  • And the Bible says God is so good,

  • He's going to punish those murderers,

  • but He's going to punish rapists and thieves

  • and liars and fornicators.

  • He's going to punish sin wherever it's found

  • because He's good.

  • (Ray Comfort) The Bible says lying lips are abomination to the Lord.

  • Lying is incredibly-- so is blasphemy.

  • Using God's name as a cuss word.

  • I would go to Hell.

  • (Ray Comfort) Does that concern you?

  • It does, but at the same time, I would hope that

  • if there is a God, that He would be understanding

  • that I am doing my best

  • to try and be the best person I can every day.

  • (Ray Comfort) Well, you've blown it like the rest of us.

  • It's like standing in front of a judge and saying,

  • "Judge, I raped that woman,

  • but I'm really trying to be the best I can."

  • It's already done.

  • The judge is going to throw the book at him.

  • (Ray Comfort) Would you go to Heaven or Hell?

  • Hell.

  • (Ray Comfort) Does that concern you?

  • If it was real.

  • (Ray Comfort) It is real.

  • I know it's real.

  • You know it's real.

  • God's given you knowledge of His existence.

  • Look at the genius of His hand all around you.

  • Your eyes have got 137 million light-sensitive cells.

  • Human beings can't make an eye from nothing.

  • Just think of the complexity of life.

  • You're not even in control of your life.

  • Do you realize that?

  • You can't stop yourself blinking, thinking,

  • breathing, dreaming.

  • Your bodily functions happen irrespective of your will.

  • You can't help but go to the bathroom every day.

  • You can't help but go to sleep at night.

  • You can't help but blink and breathe.

  • All these things are set in motion by God,

  • shaped by your DNA.

  • Your height, the color of your hair,

  • the color of your eyes, your personality

  • were all written in the instruction book of life

  • the moment you were conceived.

  • And within that psyche that you have,

  • there's a will to live.

  • Something in you says, "I don't want to die."

  • You're not an animal.

  • You're not a dog or a cat or a horse.

  • You're a human being made in the image of God

  • with a knowledge of right and wrong,

  • given a conscience by God

  • which is society-shaped but God-given.

  • You know right from wrong, and so on Judgment Day,

  • you can't say, "I didn't know."

  • You're a human being. You're aware of your existence.

  • That's what human being means. You're aware of your being.

  • And so, something in you says, "I don't want to die."

  • It's self-preservation.

  • The Bible says Jesus Christ has abolished death.

  • Now, if that isn't true, we shouldn't look into it.

  • But if there's one chance in a million that it is,

  • your good sense should just open your heart and say,

  • "I'll check it out."

  • Does that make sense?

  • I hear what you're saying.

  • (Ray Comfort) Now, do you know what God did for guilty sinners

  • so we wouldn't have to go to Hell?

  • Any idea?

  • Umm.

  • He--oh gosh.

  • I don't think I know.

  • Uh-uh.

  • I don't know.

  • No.

  • Would you mind telling me?

  • (Ray Comfort) Who could help you? Nobody.

  • Buddhism can't help you. Islam can't help you.

  • Hinduism can't help you.

  • Being religious can't help you. Being good can't help you.

  • You are hopeless.

  • The only thing that can help you is God's mercy,

  • and that was extended through the cross,

  • through the Savior.

  • There's no one on the face of the earth that can help you.

  • The Bible says, "Neither is there salvation in any other.

  • There is no other name under Heaven given among men

  • whereby we must be saved."

  • That's why Jesus said,

  • "I am the way, the truth, and the life.

  • No man comes to the Father but by Me."

  • You have no choice.

  • There's only one parachute being offered,

  • and that's the Savior Jesus Christ.

  • And the Bible says, "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ."

  • Jesus of Nazareth, a perfect, sinless man

  • who gave His life on the cross.

  • Now, you probably know that,

  • but you may not know the legal implications.

  • God's a judge.

  • The Bible paints Him as the ultimate judge,

  • the habitation of justice.

  • You and I are criminals, called sinners,

  • because we've violated His law, the Ten Commandments.

  • We're heading for God's prison,

  • a place called Hell, without parole.

  • We're under the death sentence,

  • but Jesus stepped in and paid our fine in full.

  • If you're in court, even though you're guilty,

  • if someone pays your fine, the judge can say,

  • "This person's guilty, but someone's paid his fine.

  • He's out of here."

  • And he can do that, which is just.

  • Well, the Bible says God can let you live forever

  • because Jesus paid the fine in full on that cross.

  • When He was on the cross, He cried out, "It is finished!"

  • On the cross, that was His last words.

  • In other words, the debt has been paid.

  • That means God can legally

  • grant you the gift of everlasting life.

  • And then He died and then rose from the dead

  • three days later.

  • And what you have to do to have your case dismissed,

  • to walk out of God's courtroom

  • and be gifted with everlasting life

  • because God's merciful, is repent of your sins

  • and trust in Jesus like you trust a parachute.

  • If you ever jump out of a plane,

  • don't just believe in the parachute.

  • Put your faith in it. Put your trust in it.

  • And that's what you must do with the Savior.

  • You repent and trust in Christ.

  • You don't have to get religious or do good works.

  • It's a free gift of God.

  • And the second you do that, Andrew,

  • God will dismiss every sin,

  • all those secret sins, the imaginations of your heart,

  • those sexual ones you thought no one saw.

  • God saw them and you stirred up His wrath.

  • If you stand in front of a judge and say,

  • "Judge, I raped that woman.

  • Very serious crime,

  • but I want to to tell you I do a lot of good things,"

  • judge is going to say, "What are you talking about?

  • You're not going to be judged by what you do that's good.

  • You're going to be judged on the crime of rape.

  • You're going to prison, buddy."

  • The judge won't judge you on your good works,

  • and God's exactly the same.

  • Good works are irrelevant.

  • We can't bribe God to forgive our sins and let us live.

  • All we can do is throw ourselves on the mercy of the judge

  • and say, "God, forgive me."

  • But the Bible says God is rich in mercy

  • and He provided a Savior,

  • and He'll forgive you in a second

  • because of what Jesus did on the cross.

  • It's called grace, and it's amazing.

  • The Bible says God is rich in mercy and He can save you

  • by His grace, His unmerited favor.

  • He can extend it to you.

  • You don't have to go to church on Christmas,

  • and it is about being good,

  • and that's what's all religions are about anyway.

  • Be a good person.

  • You don't think all religions have the thing of,

  • "Be a good person"?

  • (female) Not Christianity.

  • It's about by grace, through faith.

  • What?

  • By grace, through faith you've been saved.

  • (Ray Comfort) It's called amazing grace.

  • Grace is God's unmerited favor,

  • and when you repent and trust Christ,

  • everlasting life is a free gift and death has no hold on you.

  • See, your beliefs are so imperative.

  • You may not think beliefs are important,

  • but if you're walking along a path and you believe

  • there's a land mine in front of you,

  • your belief will govern your steps.

  • If you don't believe, you'll walk right onto it.

  • So, what you believe certainly does matter.

  • And if you believe you're a good person when you're not,

  • you're a lying thief, and a blasphemer,

  • adulterer at heart, you won't repent.

  • So, that's the basis of all religion.

  • They think they can do something for everlasting life:

  • face Mecca, pray, fast, repent, lie on bed of nails.

  • They think they can earn eternal life from God,

  • merit His favor, and yet it can't be done.

  • I just want to say, Richard, I care about you.

  • I love you.

  • I want to see you on Judgment Day in heaven.

  • I don't want to hear of you being in Hell.

  • Nothing would grieve me more,

  • 'cause you have a multitude of sins, and God's rich in mercy

  • and will forgive you if you'll humble yourself,

  • repent, and trust in Him.

  • Am I going to be bored in Heaven if I make it there?

  • - No. - I won't be bored?

  • (Ray Comfort) Let me tell you, Heaven is not people with wings

  • sitting on crowds playing rusty harps.

  • That's ridiculous.

  • God promises were going to inherit this earth

  • without the Genesis curse.

  • No more earthquakes, no more hurricanes,

  • floods, disease, pain, suffering, and death.

  • He's going to give it to the meek.

  • The meek'll inherit the earth.

  • So, when we talk of Heaven,

  • we're going to have Heaven on earth,

  • where the lion will lie down with the lamb,

  • the swords will be changed into plowshares.

  • No more wars, no more murder, rape,

  • kids being molested, no more sin.

  • And you can be part of that kingdom

  • if you repent and trust Christ,

  • and I want you to 'cause I care about you, okay?

  • Well, I'm a total stranger to you.

  • Why do you care about me?

  • (Ray Comfort) 'Cause I love you. I'm a Christian.

  • I'm not filled with hate like some religions.

  • This is more serious than a heart attack,

  • so please don't put it off.

  • Just give it serious thought

  • as you lay your head on your pillow tonight.

  • Listen to your heart beat in your ear

  • and realize if that heart stops, you're suddenly in eternity

  • facing a holy God without a Savior.

  • You're jumping without a parachute.

  • So, I want you to consider those thoughts,

  • because there's nothing more important

  • than where you'll spend eternity.

  • My heart breaks for you. You're 18.

  • You've got your whole life ahead of you.

  • You don't know when you're going to die.

  • You've got temptations everywhere to do wrong

  • and God offers you everlasting life.

  • And the Bible says,

  • "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth."

  • Don't put it off, because you'll become self-righteous

  • and harden your heart to the Lord.

  • When you're tender and soft,

  • when you're thinking about these things,

  • just cry out to God in humility and--

  • God'll forgive your sins in an instant.

  • You don't have to get religious or do good works.

  • It's a free gift of God.

  • Did the information I gave you about DNA

  • make you think deeper?

  • Yes, it did.

  • Absolutely.

  • (Ray Comfort) Are you now no longer an atheist?

  • I suppose when you present to me the technical definition,

  • I would say no.

  • I am open.

  • When you came up to me and said atheist,

  • that's what I identify as,

  • but I believe that there are things

  • that probably can't be explained

  • and it is possible that, you know, there's a Creator.

  • I'll definitely consider this.

  • This will leave an imprint in my mind.

  • It's definitely made me think about it.

  • It's been eye-opening.

  • (Ray Comfort) Do you now believe in God's existence?

  • Yes, I do.

  • (Ray Comfort) But have I given you proof today

  • that there is an intelligent designer behind DNA?

  • True. Yeah, you did.

  • For lack of a better word, yes, I am no longer an atheist.

  • I'm no longer an atheist.

  • (Ray Comfort) Does this make sense?

  • Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, Andrew, if you were to die today

  • and God gave you justice, you'd end up in Hell.

  • There are two things you have to do to be saved.

  • You gotta repent and trust in Jesus.

  • When are you going to do that?

  • As soon as I have a strong, firm belief

  • and I'm ready to adhere to what God would like me to do.

  • - Does this make sense? - Very much, yeah.

  • - Yes, it does. - Yes.

  • - Yes, it does. - Yeah.

  • - Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) You going to think about this?

  • Yeah, I'll think about it.

  • (Ray Comfort) You going to think about this?

  • Yeah, definitely.

  • Yeah, it was really informative. Thank you, yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) You going to think about this?

  • I definitely will.

  • (Ray Comfort) Has this made you think today?

  • It definitely has. It definitely has.

  • I'm glad to talk with you, because I think I'm sure

  • you're a lot more intelligent,

  • or somewhat more than the average person

  • I talk to about religion.

  • (Ray Comfort) You going to get right with God today?

  • - Is that what you're saying? - Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, you'll come to the Lord, just apologize for your sins,

  • put your faith in Jesus

  • and then pick up that Bible and read it daily and obey it

  • and God'll never let you down, man.

  • This is more serious than a heart attack,

  • so today would be the day.

  • And please don't feel pressured by me.

  • It's your life and it's your will,

  • but it's just a matter of saying:

  • God, you gave me life. You gifted me life.

  • I've used your name as a cuss word.

  • I've sinned against you. I've violated your commandments.

  • Please forgive me and transform me

  • and grant me the gift of everlasting life.

  • It's gotta come from your heart. I can't pressure you.

  • - Does that make sense? - Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) When are you going to do that?

  • Almost immediately.

  • (Ray Comfort) You serious?

  • Yeah, I'm serious.

  • (Ray Comfort) You realize what you're doing?

  • You're giving up your will.

  • You're saying, "Not my will, but Yours be done.

  • You gave me life. I've sinned against You.

  • Please forgive me. And I yield my life to You."

  • (Ray Comfort) Things are going to change from now on?

  • Yeah.

  • - You serious? - I'm serious.

  • I will take a closer look at God.

  • (Ray Comfort) You really mean that you're repenting of your sins

  • and trusting alone in Christ?

  • Yes, I am.

  • I would like to go to church actually.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, please think about this. Will you at least do that?

  • Sure.

  • - Do you have access to a Bible? - Yeah.

  • (Ray Comfort) You have over 20,000 on your phone.

  • - Did you know that? - That's a good selection.

  • (Ray Comfort) So, when are you going to get right with God?

  • I guess as soon as I can.

  • (Ray Comfort) You mean, like, today?

  • Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) You realize what you're doing?

  • You're laying down your will and you're saying,

  • "God, I'm not going to play the hypocrite.

  • I'm going to repent of my sins and trust alone in Christ."

  • - You understand that? - Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) You must repent and trust alone in Jesus.

  • When are you going to do that?

  • Tonight.

  • (Ray Comfort) When are you going to do that?

  • As soon as possible.

  • - Like today? - Yes.

  • (Ray Comfort) The Bible says, "Today is the day of salvation,"

  • so don't even presume

  • that you've got til tonight, you know?

  • Just, in the quietness of your heart, say, "God, I'm a sinner.

  • I'm a rebel.

  • Please forgive me," and He'll do so

  • the instant you put your faith in Christ.

  • That's what a Christian is, someone who's given up

  • the rebellion and says,

  • "Lord, I surrender to You, and I'm going to obey

  • and love and serve You from now on."

  • Is that what you're saying?

  • That's what I'm saying.

  • (Ray Comfort) Can I pray with you?

  • Of course.

  • (Ray Comfort) Father, I pray for Augusto, that this day,

  • he'll truly repent, be genuinely sorry for his sins,

  • and trust in You,

  • and pass from death to life because of Your mercy.

  • (Ray Comfort) You can't help but blink and breathe.

  • All these things are set in motion by God,

  • shaped by your DNA.

  • Your height, the color of your hair,

  • the color of your eyes, your personality

  • were all written in the instruction book of life

  • the moment you were conceived.

  • Nearly 3,000 years ago, the psalmist wrote

  • that when he was conceived in his mother's womb,

  • before he was even formed, every part of his very substance

  • was written in a special book.

  • "For You formed my inward parts;

  • You covered me in my mother's womb.

  • I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

  • Marvelous are Your works.

  • Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

  • And in Your book they were all written."
