Summary

What are some of the most difficult arguments for atheists or agnostics to answer that support the conclusion that God exists? Dr. Stephen C. Meyer returns to the program to continue his discussion with Frank on his brilliant new film, 'The Story of Everything', coming soon to a theatre near you APRIL 30th-MAY 6th. It focuses on three major scientific arguments that have come up over the past 100 years that reveal a hidden hand behind the creation and sustainability of the universe.

Together, they answer questions like:

What is the fine-tuning argument and why do atheists have a hard time refuting it?
What are the three levels of fine-tuning we see in the universe?
What is the multiverse hypothesis and is it valid?
Do we live in the matrix? What about aliens?
Why can't some atheists "allow a divine foot in the door"?
Who is Alan Sandage and how did he inspire Dr. Meyer?
How does objective morality fit in with all of this?
Is seeing always believing?
What's the current status of naturalistic origin of life studies? Any progress or new discoveries there?
Are scientists today moving back to the God hypothesis?
How does a hidden hand behind our universe give life meaning?

Don't forget, 'The Story of Everything' will only be available in theatres for a limited time! It's a great conversation starter for believers and skeptics alike, and will be extremely helpful for teenage and college students who often find themselves questioning the meaning of life. Please spread the word and support this amazing film!

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, do you have friends that are atheists or agnostics?
0:07.0	What is the most difficult argument for atheists or agnostics to answer for God?
0:14.0	Some say, well, it's the argument from the beginning of the universe known as the cosmological argument.
0:20.0	But in recent decades, scientists,
0:22.9	even atheistic scientists have admitted the most difficult argument for them to answer
0:27.9	from a atheistic perspective is why is the universe so fine-tuned for A, the universe to exist, and B, life to exist here on Earth.
0:41.4	That argument is so well explained in a brand new film called The Story of Everything,
0:48.4	and the brains behind that film is my guest again today, the great Stephen C. Meyer again. Normally, he's in the People's
0:58.0	Republic of Washington, but today he's in Washington, D.C. and we had him on last week to talk about
1:04.1	the evidence for the beginning of the universe from his film, The Story of Everything. Now, Steve,
1:10.7	we're going to dive in a little
1:11.6	bit into fine tuning. Can you kind of give us kind of an overview of what this argument is all
1:17.6	about? Yeah, sure, Frank. But I would just tell you, I'll come on every week if you play that
1:21.7	little clapping thing for me. That just, you know, gets the juices running. I'm feeling great here.
1:31.7	Well, and one other preliminary comment, I don't think the fine-tuning argument is the hardest argument for the atheist to answer.
1:36.7	I think it's a very, very hard argument for them to answer. I don't think they have a good answer for it.
1:40.8	We'll get to that. They call it the multiverse. I think it's, but I think that
1:45.2	the case for design in biology is even stronger than the case of design. Okay, we'll get to that too.
1:50.8	We'll get to that too. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to let them off the hook. That's the drop out on their
1:54.8	part. All right. Yeah, well, the idea, let's just start with the phenomenon of fine-tuning,
2:00.5	and that is that
2:01.9	physicists have discovered that the basic parameters of physics, the strength of physical
