God's Not Dead Page #2

they'll ever have.

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Check out

Matthew 10:
32-33.

What, that's it?

That's all?

Yeah.

If you're still undecided

after that one,

look at Luke 12:
48.

It can't be that simple.

Sure it can.

All you have to do

is decide

whether or not

you're willing to listen.

It's not easy,

but it's simple.

"but whoever

denies me before men,

"Everyone to whom

much was given,

"and from him to whom

they entrusted much,

Sorry I'm late.

That's alright.

Okay, as I was saying--

Amy.

Your results

came back positive.

You have cancer.

I don't have time

for cancer.

I'm too busy.

Evidence

of distant metastasis.

We need to determine

the extent of it.

I know you're

very important

and the world can't

get along without you,

but it's my job

to let you know

that it may be preparing

to do exactly that,

Do you understand?

Hey babe.

More like I forgot

to turn my phone on.

Do you know

what day it is?

Thursday?

Anything else?

The 13th?

Happy anniversary.

You remembered.

Mm-hmm, and

we're gonna celebrate.

The Newsboys.

They're gonna be

in town next Friday.

You are amazing,

which is why I love you.

You know, I just--

You get that, can't you?

- Sure.

- Forgive me?

- Always.

Come on.

I just need--

Whoa!

Well, that can't

all be Statistics.

Not all of it.

Okay, most of it.

Josh, that's not funny.

Okay, it's really not.

Look, this is something

I want to do, okay?

Josh, everything

you do is about us.

Okay, we're a team.

I'm a part of that.

Yeah, well,

neither do my parents

if every single person

that loves you

is saying

the exact same thing?

This experiment is over.

You need to prioritize

and decide

What if it's God?

And move on.

We're not in

high school anymore.

Josh!

Josh, this is serious.

I know.

You know.

Standing in front

of the fairy tale castle.

Can you not

understand that?

Sixteenth biggest.

It will be

the world's biggest

and I'll be glad that

it's not taller than it is.

Maybe the battery--

Or the starter.

I'll call and arrange

for a rental car.

But how will we

get to the rental car?

They'll deliver it to us.

Are you serious?

Yeah, absolutely.

They'll deliver us

the car we are to drive?

Yeah.

Hello?

Amazing.

But there

are some flat-earthers out there

to be either necessary,

or self-evident, or both.

Who will be presenting

his case in favor

of a supreme

celestial dictator,

Mr. Wheaton,

are you ready?

Podium is yours.

And well, they're right.

But the only way

to debate this issue

is to look at

the available evidence,

and that's what

we're going to do.

We're going to

put God on trial,

and you as the jury.

In an event

known as the Big Bang.

So, let's look

at theoretical physicist

of what the Big Bang

would have looked like.

In his description.

In the beginning,

there was an explosion,

or ever will be,

was produced.

We had a universe.

For 2,500 years,

that the universe

has always existed

who was actually also--

What's a theist?

Out of nothingness,

in an unimaginably

intense flash of light

is how he would expect

the universe to respond

"Let there be light."

and for 2,500 years,

So, the

earliest you can get here is 5?

Okay, we'll be waiting.

Wait, it has

air conditioning, right?

Okay, thanks.

It's okay, David.

Sure.

We can meet

the choir director,

Or we could meet

the women's club

Lots of important stuff.

You'll have time

to meet Mina for lunch.

Right, I can meet

Mina for lunch.

No, I just need

to do some meaningful work

This coming

from the missionary

who literally

is in the trenches,

He who is faithful

in a very little thing

is also faithful in much.

God knows

you're doing the work.

It's all part

of his grand design.

Jumping into existence

out of nothingness,

namely, the universe

and everything in it.

But in his

book, "The God Delusion,"

Richard Dawkins says

Dawkins' question

only makes sense

in terms of a God

who has been created.

And even leaving God

out of the equation,

with answering

this same question

of how did things start.

To believe in a Creator

behind the creation.

The world's most

famous scientist,

and who is not a theist,

I haven't avoided it,

I just didn't--

You just didn't

know about it.

"Spontaneous creation

is the reason

"there is something

instead of nothing.

"It is not necessary

to invoke God

to set the universe

in motion."

End of quote.

But his point remains.

How do you answer?

I don't know.

You don't know?

I prick the balloon

of your entire argument

with a single pin,

and you don't know?

Huh.

But it doesn't shake

my underlying faith.

"Oh, yes he is."

Well, I look forward

to next week's lecture.

Class is dismissed.

That I won't

have an answer for?

I never said

I was smarter.

Now, I want to

make this clear.

In that classroom,

there is a god,

and yep, I'm him.

In front of my students.

Pre-law?

We don't award

degrees in that.

Don't bother answering,

but know this,

of a law degree

in your future.

Have a nice day.

- You did it, didn't you?

- What?

You know what

I'm talking about.

You went and did your

argument, didn't you?

Yeah, yeah I did.

What were you

trying to prove?

That's it?

It's just--it's over?

It's over, Josh.

After I already told you

what would happen--

Yeah, but that's sort of

the point, isn't it?

This is something that's

important to me, right,

but since it's not

important to you,

you made it a make-it-

or-break-it-thing for us.

You didn't ask me,

you told me.

It wasn't a decision

that we made,

Well, somebody had to.

Okay-

That's it? "Okay"?

It's not what I want.

But I have to

do this thing.

Now that I've started.

My mother was

so right about you.

Hey, Fa hid.

Maybe avoid

that downward slide

When you see it

as a life to save--

1 Corinthians

says you're saved,

If you believe this

in your heart,

and he'll set you free.

Give me that!

Give me that!

Swear it!

Bottle of

Cristal, my table.

Yes, Mr. Shelley.

I have some news.

Me too.

Okay, but me first.

I've just

been named partner.

I think I have cancer.

Did you hear me?

Did you hear

what I just said?

I have cancer.

This couldn't wait

until tomorrow?

What?

How can you

say that to me?

I thought you loved me.

You make it sound like

a contract negotiation.

Well, what did you

think this was?

I thought it was love.

Grow up, Amy.

And you're as guilty of it

as anybody.

We had fun.

Out of the relationship

that we wanted,

and it was good.

It was--

actually, it was great.

But now it's over.

How did I not

see this in you?

Because you saw

what you wanted.

You understand

that I might die?

Hey, you're in

my philosophy class.

Martin, right?

Correct,

and you're Mr. Josh.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's me,

Mr. Josh.

Hey, is that on

our reading list?

No.

Can I ask you

a question?

Yeah, sure.

Why are you doing

what you are doing?

Everyone else

thinks I'm crazy.

My parents

don't want me to risk it.
