The Employees Bible Study Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the nation’s premier nuclear research facility, recently invited, as part of the guest speaker series to their California campus, the noted Christian apologist and philosopher


Theology and philosophy used to be the peak of knowledge.

Everything else was a subset of these two.

Philosophy (from Greek: φιλοσοφία, philosophia, ‘love of wisdom’)

For your thinking, what is a christian apologist?

The lovely introduction speaks of wisdom ---

"Now there can be wisdom in remaining silent on God's existence, there is also wisdom in talking about it objectively."

Thanks for posting the URL. I would not have stumbled across it without your kindness in doing so.

7:40 Argument 1: Kalam cosmological argument
20:30 Argument 2: The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics
37:55 Argument 3: The fine-tuning of the universe for life

But there seems to be no argument that such a cosmological god would interact with humans or that concepts such as a soul or afterlife have any validity.

Afterlife is the cornerstone of religion. If there is no afterlife, then discussions of god are pretty irrelevant to human existence.
