Join Eric Metaxas and me for a thought-provoking discussion on the origins of the Universe, the Big Bang theory, and the multiverse. I also share my personal experience of almost winning the Nobel Prize and how it changed my perspective on the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Eric Metaxas is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Bonhoeffer and many other books, including Is Atheism Dead?, Martin Luther, Amazing Grace, and Letter to the American Church, which was made into a full-length documentary by the same name. Metaxas’s latest book is Religionless Christianity: God’s Answer to Evil. He has written over thirty children’s books, including the bestsellers Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving and It’s Time to Sleep, My Love, illustrated by Nancy Tillman. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. He hosts Socrates in the City and the nationally syndicated Eric Metaxas Radio Show — “The Show about Everything!” — which also airs as a weekly TV program on TBN.
