What Is Chance?: Creation or Chaos with R.C. Sproul

Really respect rc's teachings. I have learned much from him.
It occurs to me that the idea of "chance" and the understanding of it depends wholly on ones perspective and understanding of the other possible perspectives.

There is a meme that illustrates the difference between true and truth.
It is simply a cylinder with lights shining on and casting shadows from two different angles.
One shadow is a circle, the other is a rectangle. Both shadows are true.
But the cylinder is truth...
In that regard the understanding of chance would depend upon your observation of it from two possible vantage points. The first as a man confined by our position in time, able to see the past with the future hidden by our limitations of time.
Chance disappears when those limitations are removed.
Only God has this perspective, so what we call chance applies to something that in our perspective has not yet happened.
With Gods perspective chance does not exist...

Really enjoyed that. Brilliant insight

"To Hell (literally) with Evilution"

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

I rest my case!

In any case, Please Pray and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

Thanks R. C. Sproul 4 Yur Powerful, Blessful, Deep Teaching on "What Is Chance ? Creation or Chaos" Where I Say Thru Our Great Almighty God's Word, There Is Nothing Like That Creation Happened By Chance 4 Our Great Almighty God's Word Says That Our Great Almighty God Created The Heavens & The 🌎 4 The 🌎 Is The Lord's & The Fullness Thereof Written In Genesis 1:1 & 1st Corinthians 10:26 4 The Late R. C. Sproul Is Veryyyyyy Ryt 4 Our Great Almighty God Created The Earth & The Universe & That The Universe Never Exploded In2 Being & R. C. Sproul Is Missed So Very Much 4 I Say That May Our Great Almighty God Bless The Late R. C. Sproul & Ligonier Ministries So Very Much 4 I Have Been Blessed.🙏🙏🕊️

Chance is the unfortunate luck of the draw, that happened prior to Creation, when the sovereign Calvinist God decreed to predestine the randomly chosen non-elect goats to Hell for no known reason other than so he could barbecue them for his own good selfish glory.

I love him!

Simply said
Thank you.

RC is a wonderful Man of God! Praise God for him..

Out of nothing comes nothing as in no-thing which is not even a little something but in instead nothing.
I'm pretty sure Mr sproul talks about nothing a lot more in one of the other sermons from the 70s or so........I like when he talks about nothing.
I like my nothing to be nothing but when a naturalist materialist worldview type talks about nothing their version of it always turns out to be something which frustrates me.

What a bunch of nothing x nothing = nothing. Great talk. Thanks for the post! No sarcasm

Excuse me, but I think that Eve wasn’t in the picture yet when Adam “named” all the animals. I don’t have time to look it up right now because I’m fixing dinner. But if I remember correctly, through the process of taxonomy, it was decided that Adam NEEDED a special partner so THE CREATOR did what HE DOES to fix that problem. Aren’t we glad!?⁉️

He says time is not a thing. Einstein and all resulting predictions prove that’s incorrect.

Spontaneous generation is not talking about anything coming from nothing. It’s from existing material. Look folks, RC Sproul has NO CLUE what he’s talking about.

Brilliant.

Please share my two brief videos with other people. Thank you!

It's amazing that not much has changed since this video was recorded some 20 years ago - physicists recognize that it is logically absurd for the universe to spontaneously emerge from nothing, so they constantly attempt to redefine "nothing" as something, which is equally absurd. I think J. Warner Wallace put it best - everyone necessarily believes in an uncaused creator. The only difference is that naturalists believe the uncaused creator of the universe is an unintelligent force, while Christians believe the uncaused creator is an intelligent being.

thank you!

Spontaneous refers to a chemical rxn that occurs naturally without input of energy. It is a reaction that releases energy, such as a bonfire. It has nothing to do with speed the reaction occurs.

RC is still correct, bc for an expansion such as the "Big Bang" (supernova) to occur, it would have had to have a stimulus.

So the big bang theory is just begging the question of how can a reaction occur without an outside force.

Or a better question is where did the singularity come from?...This is all just a theory that allows someone to push backcreated

Natural science, biology in particular, starts out as taxonomy but progresses to generate predictions that can be tested empirically. Lack of empirical testing renders it mere speculation or navel gazing, or especially today, glorified ideology.

My favorite theologian & Christian besides William lane Craig. God bless them🙏🏻

RC was simply brilliant!
