Why is the fine-tuning argument so extraordinary, and how have recent scientific discoveries made it even clearer that the universe points to a divine Creator?

This week, Dr. Jay Richards joins Frank to discuss the 20th anniversary edition of 'The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed for Discovery', the groundbreaking book he co-authored with Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez. Together, they explore the updated book and the remarkable new scientific discoveries that continue to affirm its hypothesis. During their conversation, they’ll address:

• How and why did Guillermo's career suffer when the book was first released in 2004?
• What updates have been made to the 20th anniversary edition?
• What is the likelihood that life exists on other planets?
• How is materialism a self-defeating worldview?
• What is the cosmological constant and what type of precision is required in order for a planet to be able to sustain life?
• How probable is a multiverse?
• What's so special about "perfect" solar eclipses?
• What are the most common atheist objections to fine-tuning and our privileged position in the Universe?

If you're looking for a good stocking stuffer this Christmas, grab the 20th Anniversary Edition of 'The Privileged Planet', a book and documentary film that continues to stand the test of time and compels readers to acknowledge how the complexity and fine-tuning of the universe couldn't possibly be the result of a cosmic accident.
