Super professional narration, fantastic visuals, love the Mandelbrot sets and the superimpositions and skillfull transitions, intro is superb. We find that "author" and "architect" are the key terms. The Clockwork universe of Newton comes into play with excellent imagery. Wow! Does any religion have the right answers? These are the questions the Deists asks, as well as being sick of warfare over religion. Copernicus, Kepler, Brahe, Galileo destroyed Christianity's earth-centered view. The Bible was in for a drubbing with Lord Cherbury and friends. Locke comes into play opposing innateness arguments for this Deist God, and the tabula rasa or blank slate notion of mind comes into play. Deists then had to turn to arguments from experience and nature. Extensive, skillfull panning and cropping. Both the French and American revolutions were influenced by this movement. The Cult of the Supreme Being was a national cult in France for a time. Many founding fathers saw the value of reason, but especially Jefferson was a propounder of Deism. Franklin found anti-Deist tracts drew him to Deism and Thomas Paine made it popular. We see a god without revelation. Nice definition of all of it: a creative power greater than human... the growth is the fastest growing religion or .02 of the population. Hans Hegge narrated wonderfully, the credits are clear and extensive. Loved it! Persuasive....

DEISM: Deist Reality- "Deism is D for Deism"

Its all semantics and until the "active" Atheist understands what the true meaning of the title is that they give themselves, they'll never understand God,or the God concept.

The active Atheist like the pure Deist knows that we come from Something but for some reason the "active" Atheist just can't give that Something the title of God. God is a word/title/name that can be synonymous with other words like Nature,Life,or the Universe. Is God the creator of these things,or is God these things, is just ones faith on the matter. 

This video shows that the "active" Atheist will even compromise their very own reasoning skills to teach man that God (Nature,Life,the Universe) is not real.

Recognition is the first step to understanding. I hope that this video doesn't seem too mean spirited. Know that Deism is my religion so when you call my religion dumb my ego gets a little browsed.

Sorry its been so long doing a video but my "I am the Christ Prophet" video set me back a little with family members who like to think of only certain spacial people having powers of personal revelations from this Eternal Life Force that man rightly calls God.

Happy New Year to all my Deist brothers and sisters. This means everyone because until someone tells me that they're an Adeist I'll assume that all of us believe in a God.

#1 "THE only idea man can affix to the name of God, is that of a first cause, the cause of all things. And, incomprehensibly difficult as it is for a man to conceive what a first cause is, he arrives at the belief of it, from the tenfold greater difficulty of disdisbelieving it. It is difficult beyond description to conceive that space can have no end; but it is more difficult to conceive an end. It is difficult beyond the power of man to conceive an eternal duration of what we call time; but it is more impossible to conceive a time when there shall be no time.In like manner of reasoning, everything we behold carries in itself the internal evidence that it did not make itself. Every man is an evidence to himself, that he did not make himself; neither could his father make himself, nor his grandfather, nor any of his race; neither could any tree, plant, or animal make itself; and it is the conviction arising from this evidence, that carries us on, as it were, by necessity, to the belief of a first cause eternally existing, of a nature totally different to any material existence we know of, and by the power of which all things exist; and this first cause, man calls God."   Thomas Paine
