Now here's your host, Jay Warner Wallace.

Well, thanks for joining us once again at Cold Case Christianity.

As you know, if you watched last week and as are available both on our YouTube page,

to go to the Coldcasechristianity.com and you look at our YouTube link,

you'll see that we are posting and archiving all of our broadcast shows. So if you missed last week,

which is the introduction to what we're going to talk about tonight, you can catch it there. And here's

what we've been doing. We've been looking at, we're starting this week, to look at evidence in the universe and ask ourselves, can this be explained by staying inside the room or do you have to go outside the room? Here's what I mean. In working death scenes, we typically separate non-criminal deaths from murders by asking the question. If I walk in this room with this dead guy, can I explain everything I see in the room by staying in the room?

If I can, it's probably not a murder. It's probably going to be an accidental, a natural, or a suicide.

So, for example, if there's a dead guy in the room and a handgun and he happens to have an injury, a gunshot wound,

but the handgun is registered to him. The doors are locked. The only DNA and evidence in the room belongs to him. Well, then I can explain everything in the room by staying in the room. That gun was in there all the time. Maybe there's even a suicide note that's been in the room from the very beginning. It's going to be a suicide or an accidental. On the other hand, if that gun's not his, and there's DNA, foreign DNA, foreign fingerprints, and there's even bloody footsteps leading out a door which is open. Okay, I can't explain that evidence by staying in the room. I've got to go outside the room in order to explain it. Well, any time you have to go outside the room to explain evidence inside the room, you have to consider the reasonable inference of an intruder.

And when that happens, everything changes.

Now, we're starting this week to look at two of eight pieces of evidence inside the room of the universe to ask the question,

can I explain this stuff by staying inside the room?

And we're going to start this week with two pieces of cosmological evidence and so we're going to examine it and then ask the question can I explain it from inside the room this is the approach we're taking in a new book I just finished writing it says actually published just very recently called God's Crime Scene.

So let's take a look at the first two pieces of evidence and ask ourselves this question.

Can we stay inside the room to describe the cosmological evidence we see in the universe?

Starting at the very beginning, we're in a universe that has a beginning.
