| 0:35.6 | This is the sixth video in a series of shows we've been doing on a book I wrote called God's crime scene. |
| 0:42.3 | And the idea here is to be able to look at the universe, not as though God is committed to crime, which you're about to see in the minute, that's not my point of the book, but look at the universe as you would look at any death scene or crime scene or investigative scene. |
| 0:57.0 | There are certain principles that we use at crime scenes that I think do apply to what we're looking at in the area of the universal cosmic scene of the universe, |

| 1:58.9 | draw the most reasonable inference can we explain these by staying in the room or do we have to go out of the room of the universe and trying to draw the most reasonable inference. Can we explain these |
