Why is the fine-tuning argument so extraordinary, and how have recent scientific discoveries made it even clearer that the universe points to a divine Creator?
This week, Dr. Jay Richards joins Frank to discuss the 20th anniversary edition of 'The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed for Discovery', the groundbreaking book he co-authored with Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez. Together, they explore the updated book and the remarkable new scientific discoveries that continue to affirm its hypothesis. During their conversation, they’ll address:
How and why did Guillermo's career suffer when the book was first released in 2004?
What updates have been made to the 20th anniversary edition?
What is the likelihood that life exists on other planets?
How is materialism a self-defeating worldview?
What is the cosmological constant and what type of precision is required in order for a planet to be able to sustain life?
How probable is a multiverse?
What's so special about "perfect" solar eclipses?
What are the most common atheist objections to fine-tuning and our privileged position in the Universe?
If you're looking for a good stocking stuffer this Christmas, grab the 20th Anniversary Edition of 'The Privileged Planet', a book and documentary film that continues to stand the test of time and compels readers to acknowledge how the complexity and fine-tuning of the universe couldn't possibly be the result of a cosmic accident.
