00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,560
if I could convert everyone in the world

1
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:07,200
not convert if I could convince

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:09,559
this to be a

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,200
non-believer and i' I've really done

4
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:14,759
brilliantly and there was only one left

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,080
one more and then it' be done there

6
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:18,960
would be no more religion in the world

7
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:21,400
here's a snippet of a documentary film

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,359
from the year 2009 where Christopher

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,199
Hitchens is on a backseat of a car with

10
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,560
Doug Wilson expressing his thoughts on

11
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:29,240
the fine-tuning argument Hitchens also

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,560
shares an interaction that he had with

13
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,160
Richard Dawkins

14
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,480
at some point certainly we all asked

15
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:37,000
well which is the best argument you've

16
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:38,760
yet come up against from the other side

17
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,360
and I think every one of us picks the

18
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,640
fine tuning

19
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:46,079
one is the most intriguing the goldie

20
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Lux yeah okay fine the fine tuning the

21
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,760
one degree well one de one hair

22
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,239
different to

23
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,640
nothing but even though it doesn't prove

24
00:00:54,239 --> 00:00:59,559
a design doesn't prove a designer could

25
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,039
all have happened without it you have to

26
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:04,360
spend time thinking about it working on

27
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:08,040
it it's not a

28
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:12,479
trivial we all say that and then at one

29
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:15,960
point I think this is not on camera um I

30
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:18,720
said if um if I could convert everyone

31
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,360
in the world not convert if I could

32
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,720
convince to be a

33
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,600
non-believer and i' I've really done

34
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:29,079
brilant and there was only one left one

35
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,600
more and then it would be done there'll

36
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:35,040
be no more religion world no what De Fe

37
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,040
I wouldn't do

38
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,439
it and dkin said what do you mean you

39
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,479
wouldn't do

40
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:43,560
it I said I don't quite know why I

41
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:45,960
wouldn't do

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,680
it and it's not just cuz there would be

43
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:51,200
nothing left to argue with and no one

44
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:54,799
left to argue with it's not just that

45
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:57,759
though there would be that somehow I if

46
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:00,439
I could drive it out of the world I

47
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:02,439
wouldn't and the incredulity with which

48
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:05,150
you looked at

49
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:06,360
me stays with me

50
00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:09,399
[Music]

51
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,160
still the author of God Is Not Great

52
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:15,040
died of esophageal cancer in 2011 at the

53
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,560
age of 62 during his lifetime he spoke

54
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,280
and wrote against organized and

55
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,879
institutionalized religion it's

56
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,519
intriguing how he admits that he would

57
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:24,879
not necessarily convert or convince all

58
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:26,519
people to become a non-believer maybe he

59
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,920
saw some good out of the religious

60
00:02:26,519 --> 00:02:31,080
practices of men nonetheless he never

61
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,959
claimed to believe in God and we need to

62
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,040
be reminded that it is not good works

63
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:40,120
that saves but grace through faith in

64
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,120
Christ thanks for watching God bless you
