Other topics include the possibility of witnessing historical events from afar and the nature of cryptids, exploring whether they could be demons in disguise.

Questions Covered:

  • 11:20 – My 8-year-old wants to know why we don’t have memories from when we are babies?
  • 29:40 – Greetings from Northern England, where we also eat dinner in the middle of the day! My question is this: If an infinite multiverse does indeed exist, does that mean that in each universe God would either have to 1) not create rational beings capable of falling or 2) when he does, incarnate in each universe to redeem it? If a third option is possible it would seem that the fall and the incarnation are not necessary, and if they aren’t God wouldn’t be perfectly good in allowing them.
  • 43:26 – If we could quickly travel vast distances in space and also had extreme telescope technology. Would it be possible to travel thousands of light years away, then turn our amazing telescopes back on earth and watch the pyramids being built or travel 65 million light years and see what killed the dinosaurs etc.?
  • 50:00 – Could some cryptids be demons in disguise?

Yeah. So the specific option I was exploring at the moment was could it be something like an

angel appearing in your place? And I was mentioned that this interpretation actually has some

1:10.1

traction in biblical studies. And I was recounted an interpretation actually has some traction in biblical studies,

1:11.8

and I was recounted an incident from Acts Chapter 12, where Herodigripper I was going to kill Peter,

1:17.9

but an angel busts him out of jail.

1:20.4

And when you've been busting out of jail, the first thing you need to do is get out of Dodge as quick as possible,
