Dr. Stephen Meyer

of another great cosmologist and astrophysicist named Alan Sandage.

And I happened to have heard him speak when I was a young scientist at a conference, and he gave a presentation on the evidence for the Big Bang, and then announced in his talk that he was no longer a scientific materialist, he had been a long time Jewish agnostic about religious matters, and he announced that he had become a Christian.

and that his conversion to theism, to a belief in God, was a consequence of his awareness of the scientific developments.

He became a God-believer because of, not in spite of, the scientific evidence.

And what he described was the evidence for the beginning of the universe and its fine-tuning.

And there was a memorable line, and we found the footage of this.

I saw this myself.

This is one of the things that rocked my world as a 27-year-old scientist.

A year later, I was off to Cambridge to start studying these things.

And he's looking into the camera, not too happy about this.

He was a reluctant convert to this position.

But he said, here is evidence for what can only be described as a superpower.

natural event.

There's no way this could have been predicted within the realm of physics as we know it.

Why?

Because the realm of physics as we know it comes into existence at the beginning of the universe, in the Big Bang.

Before that, there's no physics to do the explaining.

There's no material to explain the origin of matter.

And he recognizes this deep problem and then ultimately comes to belief in God, and through soul-searching, he ends up having a specifically Christian conversion.

That's a great question.
