What really happens when we die? In a recent interview with Larry King, popular astro-physicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, offers a scientifically reduced answer to this philosophically rich question. In this episode of the Word On Fire Show, Bishop Barron reacts to Tyson's response and offers a more holistic understanding of human identity and death. A listener asks how God can be both a person and the sheer act of "to be" itself.

0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vot the host and joining us as he is almost |
0:10.0 | every week is Bishop Robert Barron. Bishop Barron glad to have you. Hey Brandon, always |
0:14.6 | going to be on with you. How are the kids doing? We're doing wonderful getting ready for |
0:18.5 | baby number six here so everyone's excited. Just amazing, that's great. Hey, since you came |
0:23.8 | back to the United States, you have been already doing some different events and talks. |
0:28.6 | You were recently at the C3 conference at Loyola. Tell us about that. Yeah, it was good. It's |

1:22.5 | and that Catholicism lends itself to this visual medium. So that that was the point I was |
1:27.8 | making. So it was good. Well, every now and then on the word on fire show, we like to take |
1:33.2 | a popular video or an article or something that's making the rounds on the internet and |
1:37.6 | toss it around a little bit. Do some little commentary and discussion. And so today we're |
1:41.6 | going to discuss a video that I've seen popping up all over Facebook and Twitter. Right |
1:46.4 | now it has two and a half million views on Facebook. So it's clearly getting around. It's |
