Did the Universe REALLY Have a Beginning? Unpacking the “Battle for the Big Bang" @DrStephenMeyer

About this sermon

Does science REALLY point to a beginning of the universe? If it does, why are some world-renowned physicists still searching for a loophole? On a mission to bypass the need for a Creator, alternative cosmological theories continue to emerge, but are they solving the mysteries of the universe or creating even bigger problems? Fresh off the release of his remarkable film, 'The Story of Everything', Dr. Stephen C. Meyer returns to discuss Sir Roger Penrose's Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) and answer questions like: -- What scientific evidence suggests that the universe had a beginning? -- What is the Steady State Theory and why is it no longer accepted? -- Who is Sir Roger Penrose and why are his latest cosmological ideas generating so much debate? -- Does Penrose's theory eliminate or confirm the need for fine-tuning of the universe? -- What are Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems? -- What is the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem? -- What do other physicists think of Penrose's claim of a cyclical universe? Later in the program, Frank answers: -- How do we know who's right about all this--Meyer, Einstein, Penrose, or some combination? -- What are five M's of the universe that require an explanation? -- Even if Penrose is right (that the universe didn't have a beginning) does that eliminate the need for a Creator?
