Bill, a colleague of yours that we've talked about a lot was recently interviewed about the

reasonable faith animated video on the argument from fine-tuning.

And he basically agrees with you, but offers some nuances.

I thought it was funny, I saw on Facebook, Bill, a lot of people were talking about this interview

and they all said, Luke Barnes basically agrees with Dr. Craig, bottom line, but he is offering a few nuances.

Talk a little bit about Luke Barnes before we go to this first clip.

I first met Luke Barnes when I was in Australia on that debate tour with Lawrence Kraus,

which took us to Sydney and Brisbane and Adelaide and Melbourne.

And while I was in Sydney, speaking at the university there, this young man approached me and introduced himself

that I'm Luke Barnes, I am an astrophysicist here at the University of Sydney.

And I'm interested in your work and interested in some of these same questions.

And we became friends and began to then correspond and collaborate over the years.

And he's been a great help to me in my work on the fine-tuning argument in particular.

In the Zhang Meister animated video on the fine-tuning of the universe, Luke served as one of our scientific advisors for that video.

It was he who checked the accuracy of all of the examples of fine-tuning that we give in the video.

And so we owe him a real debt for his fine work.

This video is from Jordan Hampton and his channel called The Analytic Christian.

I want to give Jordan a shout out.

In fact, he's been doing a series, Bill, on you, bringing in people to interact with your work, four or five he's done.

We'll look at a couple in the next few weeks or so, including the one today.

And I want to point out, Bill, that these reasonable faith videos are designed to be brief overviews of the topics.
