So there is a rule that everything which ends has necessarily a beginning.

So this is terrible for the materialists, you see, because for decades, all the scientific studies

have been trying to get out of this difficulty.

What can science tell us about the existence of God?

Well, a lot more than you might imagine.

Since the 16th century,

a scientific worldview has been brewing called materialism, as a host of scientific discoveries and theories sought to explain all of life and the universe by reference to unguided chance

processes, and in doing so, ridding humanity of any need for God.

But the worldview of materialism is increasingly at odds with the latest scientific discoveries

of the last hundred years. Today, I invite you to join me as I continue my conversation with

engineer Michel Bolore, co-author with Olivier Bonassi, of the book

God, the Science, the Evidence, now available in a new English translation.

Published in French in 2021, the book is a number one bestseller in France, Spain, and Italy,

and has sold over 400,000 copies. The book presents a wide-ranging

case for the existence of God by drawing on discoveries across physics, cosmology, biology,

and human consciousness. Now, let's jump back into the conversation with Michel. Now, speaking of

evidence, one of the large classes of evidence you discuss in the book is the evidence that the universe had a beginning, as you've mentioned. Now, you start with the thermal death of the universe, which sounds ominous, but it's actually a good place to start when you're talking about, you know, the evidence for the beginning of the universe because it has ramifications for us now and in the past.

You know, the heat death of the universe is often referred to as sort of a cosmic arrow of time, or at least it kind of points to that.

That was Arthur Eddington towards the arrow of time.

And all you've got to do is go back from there, you know. So how can looking forward to the

universe's eventual demise help us understand how the universe came into existence?
