Answering This Saint's Theory's Questions for Atheists
7In this video I respond to a bunch of questions aimed at atheists from This Saint's Theory. There is a good mix of questions in the video, and some that are rarely asked in these Questions for Atheists type videos.
Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBheOtUK0_k
Questions asked in video:
- If you came face to face with God would you still deny him (See Mormon 9:2-3)?
- What would you ask God if you saw Him?
- Could it be reasonable to say that all things denote there is a God (See Alma 30:44)?
- Are you sure that we could 100% say that there is no intelligence that created the universe when we haven’t even searched the farthest reaches of the universe or time or dimensions?
- Is it possible that there are beings in the sixth dimension or higher which would be gods compared to us?
- Would it be reasonable to assume that by some Darwinian evolution, a species could evolve into what could be identified as gods? Could mankind evolve into gods?
-What is it about the homo sapiens that we have evolved the way we have into being so technologically advanced compared to other species?
- Could it be possible that the conscience, like basic matter itself, could neither be destroyed into nothing nor created from nothing?
- Could it be possible that spirit could be some form of matter (see Doctrine and Covenants 131:7-8)?
- If Jean-Paul Sartre is correct when he said, “existence precedes essence”, how much of essence would we have if we have always existed by way of having a premortal life? How radically free would we be?
- Could the doctrine of the premortal life (to explain the free agency of man and that we all knew what would happen to us on earth yet chose to come here anyway), the doctrine of salvation for the dead (to explain that God gives equal chances to all men and women), and the prospects of a God who weeps (See Moses 7:28) be enough to solve the problem of evil?
If you found the Book of Mormon to be a real historicalf document, what would that mean for the Bible?
- What are your thoughts on Latter-Day Saints compared to other Christians or other religions?
- I understand that I cannot convince you of the possibility of the existence of a literal God, such that I believe, but could I perhaps persuade you towards a metaphorical God?
