Modern Cosmology and the Existence of God | A Dialogue Between Hugh Ross & William Lane Craig

Dr. Craig and Hugh Ross discuss their perspectives on fine-tuning, the Kalam, salvation, eschatology, and more.

We welcome your comments in the Reasonable Faith forums:

Hugh’s poetic drilling down from the totality of the universe to our sun and earth as exceptional specks in the vast expanse of space gives you goose bumps. A very inspiring man.

I started getting chocked up around the 1 hour mark, as I contemplated God's attention to detail for our existence.

Thank you Lord for these two warriors 4 Christ for forming my faith.

I used go believe hell was just the end of a soul, the trash dump, non existence, but if your soul was saved by Jesus Christ that you lived on in heaven with him and he was your attorney at the Fathers judgement . I deeply respect Hugh Ross and the Idea of eternal damnation in hell or blessing and joy in heaven is making sense …. It makes one take their roll during their life on Earth very seriously and it leads me to hope that even just one person might have been led to the salvation of Jesus Christ through me ! I love and respect the deep knowledge and generosity to share it of all three people speaking here!

Thanks for this discussion. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. It is important to THINK and not blindly accept what comes across the internet. A plethora of information can be spun to support whatever someone wants to propose. But what seems to makes sense at first reading may not hold up under scrutiny. (e.g. "multiverses") And if we refuse to consider all angles we run the risk of deceiving ourselves.

Can anyone provide me with a link to the survey(s) showing that 80% of research mathematicians believe in God and an afterlife? I've looked, and can't find this info.

I was a bit confused between Dr. Craig‘s statement on the personal return of Christ and physical eschatology. Does Dr. Craig believe that Jesus will return as a presence or an eschatological reality, but not in his physical body?

[uncommon_scents]

Can someone help clarify Bill's perspective on original sin? He describes Adam and Eve as being in a 'State of Integrity, ' where the presence of God and the Holy Spirit gave them the strength to live a perfect and holy life. So, how did they still fall into sin? It seems like either God's presence was enough to keep them from sinning, or it wasn't.

Did God step away momentarily and return to find them fallen?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Because it stands to logic and reason that a celestial wizard shook the universe out of his sleeve

I never expecting a Uranus joke from Hugh.

Wonder if anyone else sees it. Shadow bans make this platform great

This discussion seems to prove that great minds for philosophical subtlety are not always inclined to admit the theological subtleties that divide Christianity from Roman Catholicism. These systems in reality have zero agreement when one admits what each of their respective distinctive doctrines imply. The attempt to bring these two different worlds together is necessarily going to destroy the integrity of one or the other. To be specific, conferred grace is a world away from the imputed grace of true Christianity. Such capable minds should acknowledge this, though they so badly want to join the two into one.

Sounded to me like at least Job and Mary didn’t sin. Also “go and sin no more”, indicates that humans may be capable of not sinning.

Two self deluded Liars who don't understand Ancient history...the Universe needs no Cause

[walterdaems]

If god existed there would be no need to prove his existence

[midlander]

It's hilarious... Watch crappy videos posted on WLC's channel 10 years ago and it's the same pathetic script, literally word for word. Glad to see low bar bill's really taking the conversation forward 😂

[corporealbeing]

Warning ⚠️ dad joke ⚠️ WLC said 7 is effete, but i don't think so. I've heard people say 7 ate 9. 😮

Max Tegmark denies a realm of consciousness while thinking about the realm of consciousness? LOL! Cognito ergo sum.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?

Dr. Hugh Ross has two books for his religion namely: The modern bible which is under with his second book imagined THE "BOOK" NATURE, lol.

Now, WHY WOULDN'T THIS THEISTIC EVOLUTIONISTS write their own Bible with their supposed to be correct reading of BILLION of years of EVOLUTION? That way, we can easily determine the religion of DR. HUGH ROSS with the true Bible believers Historic Protestant. Why?

MAKE YOUR OWN BIBLE OF BILLION OF YEARS OF EVOLUTION. Why continue using the obvious 24-hour day of Genesis.

TELL YOUR CONVERTS THAT THIS IS YOUR BIBLE- BILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION.
