Summary

On today’s ID The Future, host Brian Miller concludes a two-part conversation with physicist Aaron Zimmer and mathematician Ellie Feder, hosts of the Physics to God podcast, as they critique current explanations for the laws of nature and argue for an intelligent cause of the rules that govern the universe. This half of the conversation tackles the attempts made by scientists to explain these life-friendly laws as the result of chance, not design. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation. Source

0:41.6	Thanks for your support.
0:43.5	Now to posit that in physics, every mathematical structure has a corresponding physical reality.
0:49.8	It's like mixing up the fields of mathematics and physics.
0:53.0	And it's ignoring the fact that we exist in one amazing, special, beautiful universe
0:59.0	and saying, no, this is just one thing, but there's everything possible exists because it's true in mathematics.
1:08.1	ID, The Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.
1:15.7	The laws of nature that govern our universe are finely tuned to allow for life like us.
1:21.2	But have you ever wondered why these laws govern our reality and not others?
1:25.4	What is special about them and what would things look like
1:28.3	without them? Welcome to ID the Future. I'm your host, Brian Miller. Today I continue my conversation
