In this episode of The Backstory on the Shroud of Turin, Guy Powell interviews Olivier Bonnassies, co-author of God, the Science, and the Evidence, a groundbreaking book that explores the rational and scientific reasons for believing in God.

Olivier discusses how scientific discoveries—such as the Big Bang, the fine-tuning of the universe, and the laws of thermodynamics—support the existence of a Creator.

Olivier shares his personal transformation from skepticism to belief, emphasizing the rational evidence that points to God. He explains that modern science, rather than negating the existence of God, actually confirms His existence through the remarkable order and fine-tuning in the universe.

From the beginning of time to the precise calibration of forces within the cosmos, these discoveries align with ancient theological insights about a Creator who is transcendent and outside of time and space.

Olivier discusses how the Shroud of Turin fits into this broader conversation about the evidence for God, offering a powerful symbol of Christ’s Resurrection. The conversation also delves into the philosophical and moral implications of a world that either has a Creator or exists by random chance.

Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this episode offers an enlightening perspective on how science and faith can coexist.
