Brian MillerGUEST

And a lot of that journey was intellectual.
Brian MillerGUEST
9:47
I read people like Hugh Ross who had written books about faith and science.
Brian MillerGUEST
9:51
I found this book called Eternity in Their Hearts.
Brian MillerGUEST
9:53
It talked about how if you look at cultures, And you go far enough back, there's the same story, basically.
Wes LlewellynGUEST
68:40
They're much more intertwined than we really wanna believe.
Wes LlewellynGUEST
68:44
Um, Hugh Ross said, you know, "Don't think about the billions and billions of light-years.
Wes LlewellynGUEST
68:49
Think about inches." They are-

Yes

Hugh Ross.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

who is known as an astrophysicist.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
2:03
He's one of the best on the cosmological argument and the fine tuning argument you'll find out there.

That's right, aliens.

speaker_21SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
41:50
Very intellectual.
speaker_22SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
43:04
And so you have people like you who are saying, wait a minute, culture is prepared to, to see alien evidence, right, and UFO evidence and all of that, but maybe we're actually dealing with something that is spiritual and not physical.
speaker_22SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
43:17
And so that is his position, that this is a demonic manifestation that is masquerading as, you know, these beings, these aliens that some people, and look, there are some people in the church, and we can talk more about this, who do believe that aliens are possible.
speaker_22SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
43:32
I've interacted with some Christians who believe that, but that is not Hugh Ross's position.
Walter SterlingHOST

Ed MazzaGUEST
2:43
But an old universe does not equal evolution.
Ed MazzaGUEST
2:49
Neither I nor Dr. Hugh Ross would ever advocate evolution.
Ed MazzaGUEST
2:56
That being said, I think I understand where Mr. Owen is coming from.
Ed MazzaGUEST
3:02
And so let me lay out where I see his position.

1 HR LATER

Kevin MarkGUEST
63:08
Former Cornell astronomy professor Martin Harwit writes in the journal Science, the silent embarrassment of modern astrophysics is that we do not know how even a single one of these stars managed to form.
Kevin MarkGUEST
63:21
And if you think that can't happen, then how is it possible that galaxies could be formed where there's millions and billions or trillions of stars? We should be able to observe the distant past through distant starlight, like...
Kevin MarkGUEST
63:37
Hugh Ross is saying, but of course there is no unambiguous example of galaxy formation.
Kevin MarkGUEST
63:43
There's a problem.
PaulogiaHOST
20:43
The third is design and fine-tuning in biology and cosmology.
PaulogiaHOST
20:47
Carey points to Michael Behe's bacterial flagellum, Hubert Yawkey's objections to the odds of life arising by chance, and Hugh Ross's long lists of finely calibrated physical constants, treating the accumulation of examples as evidence of a superintelligence behind the structure of life in the cosmos.
Gary HabermasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
21:04
Arguing from the nature of cell design, Behe noted the presence of irreducible complexity.
Gary HabermasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
21:10
In particular, Behe made famous the example of the bacterial flagellum, which appeared to be thin hairs with rotary motors made of protein that protrude from microorganisms, propelling the organism along.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
15:57
And there's reasons for that.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
15:59
Number one, you know, why can't it be on another planet? Why can't it be something else? We talked to Hugh Ross out at several astrophysicists and other astrophysicists as well.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
16:12
They literally just completely decimate that theory.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
16:16
Number one, the Earth is too unique.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
17:18
our type of carbon-based life would not be possible on Earth.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
17:21
That's number one.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
17:22
And Hugh Ross said, as far as he knows, he hasn't seen any of them that has more than two of the constants that we need.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
17:29
Secondly, the distances.
Greg MooreHOST
15:37
then two which will get into your questions or your points why can't it be an extraterrestrial being another uh biological being from light years and light years away
Derrick WarfelGUEST
15:46
well obviously you know god can do anything he wants he could create life on other planets i'm not i'm not limiting what god can do the problem is this isn't that uh and there's reasons for that uh number one um you know why can't it be on another planet why can't it be something else we we uh talked to hugh ross out at several astrophysicists and other astrophysicists as well that literally just completely decimate that theory number one uh the earth is too unique i mean there was a guy called frank drake back in the 60s an astrophysicist who said you know there's got to be billions of planets like earth out there and there must be at least a couple of them just like earth which makes sense on the surface But when you start looking at all the factors that make Earth unique, a very finely tuned constants, number one, the tilt of the Earth, the Earth-Moon system for controlling the slides, the, what is it, the belt, the ester.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
16:50
The asteroid belt.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
16:52
There's just two.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
17:18
our type of carbon-based life would not be possible on Earth.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
17:21
That's number one.
Derrick WarfelGUEST
17:22
