Physics to GodDoes God Exist?Can science convincingly show that God exists? In this episode, we explore one of the most profound questions in human history through the lens of modern physics and philosophy. We lay out a clear case for an intelligent cause behind the universe based on three independent scientific discoveries: The fine-tuning of nature's constants The elegant structure of the physical laws The low-entropy, highly ordered initial conditions of the universe We explain why these scientific insights are not just compatible with belief in God, but that they actually point us directly to an intelligent cause of our universe.2025-07-2029 min

Orthodox ConundrumCan Physics Demonstrate God's Existence? (248)Can science be a vehicle to get closer to God? The Rambam famously answered in the affirmative. In the second of the 1000 chapters of his Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Yesodei HaTorah chapter 2, the Rambam writes, âWhat is the method towards loving and fearing God? At the moment that a person investigates His wondrous and massive actions and creations, and sees through them His endless and infinite wisdom, he immediately loves, praises, and extols, and desires tremendously to know the great Name. In the words of David, âMy soul thirsts for God, the living divine.â And when he thinks about these things...2025-05-191h 14Physics to GodIs the Multiverse Real?This episode can be seen as a stand-alone summary of our analysis and rejection of the multiverse, or as a review of the main points of this season.

Penrose describes the tremendous problem of explaining the unlikely Big Bang as follows: In order to produce a universe resembling the one in which we live, the Creator would have to aim for an absurdly tiny volume of the phase space of possible universes â about 1/10^10^123 of the entire volume...This is an extraordinary figure.

This episode discusses physicist Paul Steinhardtâs theory of Bouncing Cosmology which attempts to explain this unlikely beginning without requiring either an infinite varied multiverse or an intelligent cause. This theory is so wild and imaginative that we really had to struggle to come up with analogies to make it understandable to everyone. But we did. And these might just be our best analogies yet.

Crossing Faiths150: Creationism and the Multiverse with Rabbi Aaron Zimmer and Rabbi Eli FederIn this episode of Crossing Faiths, Rabbi Aaron Zimmer and Rabbi Eli Feder discuss their endeavor to explore the relationship between science and religion, specifically focusing on using physics to argue for the existence of God. Motivated by a desire to reconcile modern scientific understanding with religious belief, they challenge the notion that science and faith are incompatible. The rabbis introduce the concept of "fine-tuning" in physics, arguing that the precise mathematical constants governing the universe suggest an intelligent designer rather than random chance. They critically examine the multiverse theory as an alternative explanation, presenting it as a less...2025-02-1055 minPhysics to GodPhilosophical and Scientific Methods for Multiverse - S2:E12The scientific method has been the key to the great success of science over the past 300 years, and itâs incredibly important to distinguish it from the philosophical method. You probably learned about the scientific method in 5th grade, and might be surprised weâre doing an episode on it. But times are changing. Thereâs now a serious controversy in the scientific community about whether itâs time to change the definition of science to accommodate the multiverse under the banner of science.

However, this ignored the major problem that it doesn't seem possible for an infinite varied multiverse to use probabilities to make any prediction whatsoever because there are an infinite number of copies of every possible universe! To get around this problem, multiverse scientists use something called measures to compute probabilities in an infinite multiverse and then determine what a typical universe looks like.

The Grand Universe problem â the sheer splendor and grandeur of our immense universe â likewise presents a significant question for the multiverseâs claim that our universe is typical.

Since multiverse scientists harbor a hidden premise their entire line of reasoning makes sense.
