Where did that come from?

Nobody would have invented that.

If I looked around, I would never guess that we all have –

Inalienable rights.

We don't look the same.

We're not the same intelligence.

We're not the same strength and power.

And so to me, it was like, oh, this obviously was not something creative.

Are you finding interests around intelligent design growing recently?

It seems like there seems to be much more interest, and I think it's tied to more scientific discoveries.

Or maybe just people feel like we need a sense of purpose and meaning?

My big fear, and what I'd just like to encourage scientists is that

There's evidence for this.

It does give you a sense of peace, purpose, and meaning.

But we also need it to be true because science divorced from the subjective morality is not good.

It turns into scientists not asking if we should, but rather, can we?

And it turns into all kinds of crazy, grisly...

scary experiments because there is no underlying, uh, you know, moral foundation.

Um, and then it just becomes a question of, can we, and, uh, gosh, you know, there's been enough sci-fi movies to demonstrate what that could look like in our human imagination.

Appreciate it.
