| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Eric Metaxas show. |
| 0:04.5 | And on this show, I get to talk to fascinating people. |
| 0:08.8 | For example, right now, I get to talk to, I will say, my friend, Dr. Hugh Ross. |
| 0:15.1 | He's an astrophysicist and founder of reasons to believe, science, faith, think tank, exploring the harmony between modern |
| 0:23.0 | science and Christianity. |
| 0:28.2 | He has written many, many books. |
| 0:33.5 | It was his books in the early 90s that caught my attention and started me on the troubled path that I've been on for all these decades now and that have led me to do things like write my book as atheism dead, which we are now turning into TV series and which features interviews with Dr. Hugh Ross. |

| 2:21.4 | you're neither low-life nor liberal theologically or in any other way. But it's kind of funny |
