Science, Faith, and the Universe with Stephen Barr | Christendom Conversations | Ep. 21
Dr. Stephen Barr, theoretical physicist and cosmologist joins Dr. George Harne to explore the relationship between science and faith.

He discusses the Big Bang and the origins of the universe, the apparent fine-tuning of the laws of physics, and the important distinction between fine-tuning and the Intelligent Design movement.
Dr. Barr also explores quantum mechanics and free will, fundamental physics, and the deep philosophical questions about the universe. Drawing on thinkers from both the past and today, Dr. Barr considers what the laws of physics can and cannot explain.
