February 16, 2000: Creation, Physics & God - Dr. Hugh Ross
Published 1 year, 6 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes Dr. Hugh Ross and Dr. Fuz Rana from Reasons to Believe, an organization dedicated to demonstrating harmony between science and the Christian faith. Dr. Ross, an astrophysicist who researched quasars at Caltech, and Dr. Rana, a biochemist and former Procter & Gamble researcher, discuss evidence for a transcendent creator through the lens of modern physics.
The conversation covers the Big Bang, the space-time theorem of general relativity, and the biblical claim that the creator operates beyond ten space-time dimensions. Dr. Ross argues that the fine-tuning of the universe points to intelligent design, while Dr. Rana describes how the specified complexity inside living cells convinced him that natural processes alone cannot account for the origin of life.
Art challenges his guests with questions about prayer studies, the "God Part of the Brain" hypothesis, extraterrestrial life, and macroevolution. The doctors field calls from listeners asking about the fossil record, human evolution, genetic similarities between species, and the nephilim. Throughout, both scientists maintain that physical evidence overwhelmingly supports the existence of a purposeful creator behind the cosmos.
