Summary
Dr Paul Saladino shares how he plans to talk about faith with his future kids by taking them into nature rather than starting with labels or arguments. He explains that the simple experience of feeling beauty in an ocean, mountain range or forest, and the biological reality that living things resist entropy and decay while dead matter falls apart, are what convince him there is some kind of animating force or “something bigger” behind life itself.

| 0:00.0 | There's a book that my assistant told me about 20-some years ago called 101 questions to ask before you get engaged. And it was by this man named Norman Wright. And I said, have you read? I said, I've never read it. I said, do you think you need to read it? So I read it. And one of the questions on the, by the way, it's literally a book, 101 pages. It's just questions and blank. Questions, blank. |
| 0:21.2 | I eventually ended up bringing him to an event. |
| 0:22.8 | I bought a thousand of this copy of this book, and I started giving it away to people. Patty Lopez, Sandra Lopez, Leo's wife gave this to me. She was listening to Christian radio. She said, you should listen to this. With kids, how are you going to have the conversation? I don't even know, |
| 0:38.7 | maybe you haven't thought about it. What's the faith conversation going to be with your kids? |
| 0:43.0 | I think I'm going to go, I'm going to show them nature. And for me, this is my personal experience. |
| 0:50.4 | I think, there's a couple things I think about here. When I feel beauty, when I feel moved, I think, how do I feel that? |
| 0:58.4 | You know, there's got to be something bigger than me. |
| 1:01.5 | What is beauty? |
| 1:02.4 | What is my sense of beauty? |
| 1:04.4 | When I'm in the ocean, when I'm looking at a mountain, I'm like, that is beautiful. |
| 1:08.5 | What is that, Pat? |
| 1:09.8 | That to me, the fact that I can sense beauty is a reminder that there is something bigger than me. |
| 1:17.7 | And then I look at humans biologically. |
| 1:20.1 | My biological mind kicks in and says, look at us, look around us. |
| 1:24.1 | Things that are alive fight entropy. |
| 1:26.9 | We stay organized. Entropy is that one of these laws of |
| 1:29.9 | thermodynamics. The universe tends toward disorder. If you have something and it is not alive, it decays, |
| 1:37.4 | right? You put a piece of bread on the counter, it becomes moldy. You know, a fruit rots. You know, |
| 1:43.3 | it's been picked from the vine. A fruit |
| 1:45.1 | doesn't rot on the vine. It only rots when it's dead, generally speaking, sometimes maybe. But |
| 1:49.4 | you can see that, like, the human body doesn't decompose until we are not alive. There is some sort |
| 1:55.2 | of life force in a human that fights entropy. And what is that? That's interesting to me. What is this animating |
