Mars's Core Problem and Life and the Multiverse | Stars, Cells, and God

Join Hugh Ross and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God’s existence.

Mars’s Core Problem
A seismometer on the surface of Mars has detected sound waves revealing that Mars’s core has a low density. This feature implies that a fifth of Mars’s core is composed of sulfur, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. These light elements make up just 5% of Earth’s core. The different size, density, and structure of Mars’s core compared to Earth’s explains why Mars has lacked a magnetosphere for the past 4 billion years. This research adds yet another habitability requirement for the possible existence of advanced life: the planet’s core must be exquisitely fine-tuned.

Life and the Multiverse
A great body of evidence points to the improbable nature of life’s existence in the universe, which many people take as evidence of fine-tuning for our existence. However, some scientists have argued that our improbable nature provides evidence that a multiverse exists. In this episode, I’ll discuss why our existence looks improbable as well as how people come to the two seemingly opposing conclusions. I’ll conclude by presenting some recent arguments for why our improbable nature does not provide evidence of a multiverse.

Thank you for this discussion, btw Dr. Ross looks great in blue ❤

Multiverse seems to be a very interessting concept. What I try to wrap my brain around is to understand in a multiverse lvl 2, what would happen if two universe instances collide?

[earleneschmitt]

I think the collision of Thea w Earth was quite extraordinary, giving the Earth just the right density for its life protecting dynamo-magnetosphere..
Earth is denser than all the rest of the planets.. Dynamo endurance /planetary density, is prob most important fine tuning factor..

The insight lander had a robotic arm with which it placed all its instruments.

Does greater size mean greater pressure at the core? Is there more pressure at the core a bigger potato than that of a smaller one?

[gamnamoo]

It is my hope that Dr. Ross in the future deal with the question of multiverse more. So many popular atheistic scientists these days resort to multivers idea as an alternative to the theistic interpretation of fine tuning phenomena. It is rather confusing these days that scientists do not draw clear line between what science is and what is not. I know that humans will NEVER be able to establish a theory on multiverse on the bassis of observational investigation. Is this then still science?

[LinsonJoseph]

The scientific world would have become a psychiatrists heaven if it were not for these Christian scientists who helps us better understand the Glory of God.

[steveholliday]

Can a non fine-tuned universe in the multiverse realm affect other universes, including our own, with its instability ? If the multiverse actually does exist, that is.

[LinsonJoseph]

What have I missed in the first 31 mins!

[tonystorcke]

The purpose of the infinite multiverse idea is that somewhere there will be a version of you that gets Salvation if we claim that God is fair and of course fair to everyone.

A bit too much jargon. I need to Google gamblers fallacy before the complex stuff :)
