Physics to God

Does God Exist?


Listen Later

Can science convincingly show that God exists? In this episode, we explore one of the most profound questions in human history through the lens of modern physics and philosophy. We lay out a clear case for an intelligent cause behind the universe based on three independent scientific discoveries:

  1. The fine-tuning of nature's constants
  2. The elegant structure of the physical laws
  3. The low-entropy, highly ordered initial conditions of the universe

We explain why these scientific insights are not just compatible with belief in God, but that they actually point us directly to an intelligent cause of our universe.

We also respond to common objections, including the "God of the Gaps" critique and the question of “Who Fine Tuned God?”
