THERE IS ORDER TO THE CHAOS.

What is this place?

Are we even really here?

Is there a higher power that created us, or was it a random explosion?

These are some big questions.

But the odds of life actually existing are insane. Everything would have had to had come together so perfectly.

It’s hard for people to wrap their minds around, but we need to admit there is so much about the universe we don’t understand.

For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with John Brenkus where we discuss how the soul and science can meet.

John Brenkus is a six-time Emmy award-winning creator, host, and producer of Sport Science on ESPN. He is also co-founder of BASE Productions and a New York Times bestselling author. He currently hosts his own podcast The Brink of Midnight.

He dives into the idea of time and how humans put labels on things that are hard for our brains to comprehend.

I really enjoy the way that Josh is able to explain complicated scientific ideas.
