Join us at 8:00 pm ET on Wednesday, Nov 30, to watch Frank sit down with legendary philosopher, Dr. William Lane Craig, for a fascinating discussion on the beginning of the universe. Dr. Craig is perhaps best known for his work on the Kalam Cosmological Argument which offers an excellent philosophical foundation (supported by physics) for a theistic creator.
It would be extremely hard to make a case for a fine-tuned universe. It seems to be just wishful thinking.
@danielanthony8373 Says:
Just on the last part of the discussion in regards to mathematics in the universe and therefore mathematics is considered the universal language
This reminded me of Pslam 19
The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaim his handiwork
Day to day pours out SPEECH and night to night reveals knowledge
There is no SPEECH nor are there words whose voice is not heard

William lane Craig is a philosophical giant of our day! A lot of what he says goes over peoples heads but if you actually listen and keep up, he answers so many misunderstandings of Christian theology and beliefs. He’s honestly a genius! He definitely doesn’t get enough credit and seeing you 2 together is even more amazing! He even schooled jordan Peterson on some topics about Christianity~ their conversation was cut short but it was getting good~ they didn’t argue~ Jordan was just stuck on a particular thought~ and William lane Craig was being very patient and trying to get Jordan to see the answer

if you believe those computer genereated images and videos you see on your screen then you are foolish.

@monsterhuntervideos4446 Says:
God did it! And, no, I'm not being sarcastic. It's obvious to everyone according to Romans 1. Everybody knows! Arguments aren't needed when the human intuition knows. Arguments may be logical and valid, but they're not needed. Took me a long time and much gradual wisdom to realize this. Just preach God's Word and let it convict people what they intuitively know and what they're suppressing in unrighteousness. It's time for Christians to put arguments as secondary and lean on God's Word that convicts the heart of what they already know.
@spaceman9748 Says:
If there's a multi verse that in one of the infinite universes there's a God that in all of those universes that God exists.
We believe that the existence of a spiritual realm not a multi verse but it is a separate realm of existence.

Hey it's dumb and dumber, and christians consider them brilliant 🙄. Just like Jesus Christ (he's either a liar or lunatic) but christians think he's god.
@singwithpowerinfo5815 Says:
Both give piss poor arguments. I’ve listened to dozens of hours of their teaching and debates. In fact, Craig even admits that even if his arguments were disproved to his intellectual satisfaction, he would still believe in Christ as savior. These two make a lot of money off of Christians. Gullibility is a wonderful and an enriching thing.

These lie spreaders are running out of people to mislead them...
@monkkeygawd Says:
Nothing "created" anything... all is a thought in the the imagination of the Mind of God. Reality has been PROVEN to be nonlocal, so matter has no stand alone existence. Period. Try reading something OUTSIDE of the Christian echo chamber and discover that reality is SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL! I'm not an atheist, I'm a nondualist. All is One. All is God. We are all dissociated perspectives of that One Consciousness. So... of course things add up in the universe to appear like fine tuning, same as a dream in your mind at night seems reasonable till you wake up. ⏰️

@CGGeary Says:
For non-Christians musing the comments, I want to hear from you. I have a several questions below that I would like to hear your thoughts on.
1) What is your current understanding of Christianity? (Content, not cultural or societal impact).
2) Based on what you understand, have heard, or observed in Christians, would you consider happiness/joy to be a foundational part of Christianity?
3) Would you consider being a ‘good’ person different from being a joyful person? Same?
4) Think about all the desires that make you happy/joyful (i.e. eating food, sex, walking a dog, how you treat a friend, how you treat an enemy, anything). Would you say those desires align with truth, or some objective standard of goodness? Or is it preferential? Somewhere in between?
5) Have you ever had a moment where you resisted a desire because it conflicted with your conscience (i.e. what you believe to be true and good)?
6) Is a waterfall glistening in a sunset an objectively beautiful thing, or subjective?

Far better listening to this than to the politicians.
@nickbrasing8786 Says:
You can't add numbers together and get to infinity Frank and Bill. In the same way you can't subtract years from infinity and get back to the beginning. I know you both understand this. And yet you still keep making this argument as if infinity was a number. As a philosopher, you have to understand this Bill. So you're either being misleading, or dishonest. Take you pick...

Nothing about it contains any science. "Multi-verse"?!? 🤣🤣🤣

Why focus on multiverse as a counter-argument may be life will also exists with different fine tuning may be not on earth but somewhere else and totally different i don't see the problem. Every combinations if constants provided that their exists is fine tune (by definition of their existence)
@goor1322 Says:
In light of the mountain of evidence for the resurrection, it would take faaaaar more faith to maintain one's atheism. I don't have enough faith to be an atheist.

@bryanoldenburg9870 Says:
Two of my favorite apologists together! Both Frank and Bill live up to 1 Peter 3:15, by giving firm defenses of the faith, with gentleness and respect. Both illustrate the usefulness of applying all the Humanities (especially Philosophy) and Sciences (e.g., Astronomy and Physics) to discussions about Apologetics. I enjoy their winsome, non-arrogant approach, and especially think Frank's sense of humor is a natural magnet to the agnostic mind! Thanks for this fine conversation fellows!
@phillyska Says:
Excellent!
@Chazd1949 Says:
Two of my favorite apologists. We are so blessed at this time in history to have so many brilliant Christian scholars. Others include Dr. Hugh Ross, Dr. John Lennox, Dr. Gary Habermas, Dr. Sean McDowell, and I could name quite a few more. Feel free to add more to the list.

You have to really not want God to exist to credit all creation to a random mindless, purposeless, meaningless chaotic cosmic event.

@jeffphelps1355 Says:
Atheist claim atheism is just a "lack of belief" so atheism has nothing to do with "lack of evidence" it just a personal opinion. If the individual atheist in nor convinced by the evidence that doesn't mean the evidence is not valid.

John 1;1 in the beginning was the word....words provide information ..information creates ..information comes from a mind...what other explanation could there be?
@sounddoctorin Says:
scuse me you kick right off with claiming physical eternal nature. No citation of why. 2nd law of TD says either something pumped up PE or just outright created it. matter is harmonically bound em energy so God possessed or created that energy. We only understand some about it all; not even what it is really.

The title of the video is "Who created and fine tuned the universe? with Dr William Lane Craig".
So they used the question begging fallacy in the title. I'm not shocked though.
@BroadcastSystemsNetwork Says:
Had a thought about why, exactly, theoreticians would rather not attribute the connection of math with physical reality to divine involvement. Maybe they believe the inner drive they need to advance their work would be evaporated by such a realization.
Ayn Rand says all advancement in any field is driven by ego: This is my work. These are my discoveries and my accomplishments. These build my confidence in and belief in myself. It is my work that makes me more me.
Rand was of course a stone cold materialists. (Or so she claimed. In her novels she recourses to the immaterial for purposes of metaphorical imagery.) Could a cosmologist continue seeking without an egoistic impulse? Would acknowledging the Creator evaporate personal drive?
I think it might for some. However the reverse was true for Newton and other greats of the past. By doing their work, Newton and his ilk claimed not to seeking a greater image of themselves for themselves; they were very publicly and explicitly seeking a clearer understanding of God.
